How many Runescore achievements are solely based on levels? What a petty percentage! You may also want to check out Runescores more carefully. There are 300k+ players with about 1300 Runescores. Even if all of them got every score from skill level, they would have to be level 99 in all skills. Can all these 300k players "botted" to 99 in all skills in one day?

I did not claim that that was an exhaustive list of bottable runescore, there are of course other achievements that can be botted or accidentally achieved (a bunch of easy/med level achievement diaries can be accidentally achieved by just doing regular low/mid level activities in the area), maybe you'll want to work on your critical thinking skill next time.

The 90% players who are happy don't care and most likely don't work with the petty 10% who don't enjoy Runescape but still play and post. Who care if they "work overtime". The 90% happy ones come to play Runescape, not to "work".

How did you... manage to completely miss my point?

Regardless how "big" (chuckle chuckle chuckle) the list of bottable achievements and the 1k-ish runescores they contribute to the almost 30k max runescores, it is easily justified the bare minimum of the 300-350k active players participating in Runescores the last month were not "bots who reached the Achievements Hiscores in one day".

And 90% of the players enjoy the game daily. :D

Nice, where did you get that number from? I'm sure its a completely reliable and truthful source and not just a random number you pulled out of thin air.

Those 300-350k "active players" only had to log in once last month to get their highscore rank, the didn't have to do anything, since you know, runescore highscore was only implemented very recently.

Just like EA's comment on sense of pride and achievement, no one is buying it.

Those players are clearly shown with unique IDs on the RS3 Achievement Hiscores.

All players count as players, all payers count as payers last month, no matter how many times they log in. :D :D :D

Nobody need to be "buying" whatever comment whoever said. All it matters to Jagex is players are really really BUYING TH with real $$$, almost $30 million of it in Jagex 2017 Fiscal year.

Jagex need not just $30 million from TH. They will need a lot more than that going forward with their much bigger plan of global denomination.

Enjoy TH and other MTX, the integral part of Jagex's Business. That can be a lot bigger especially when Runescape turns global. Look for the first stage to start with G-Star 2018, a month from now in Korea. :D

It is definitely not true according to Jagex's Company House filings.

Since TH started in 2014, Jagex's actually made 44% more on subscription. They gained a lot more from TH, but subscription kept climbing, not dropping. :D
