Seriously? I don't have a problem with running promotions, but to offer something to and I quote 'select accounts' over a double experience weekend is literally the stuff of morons. Grossly unfair to those people who now are at a disadvantage in terms of experience gain to those who were selected for this offer, more than likely arbitrarily (I hope so anyway!)

We're on a lockdown for Christ sake, if you're gonna pull this stunt, offer it to everybody, there are people whose birthdays fall over this lockdown period who would probably dabble in Treasure Hunter but have now been excluded from this, forced to pay £15 for 75, when some people can pay £15 for 150.

Absolute bollocks. Stuff of pillocks, this; sort it out.

Their own quote ...

Fair or not, it's business.

It's not as if they give out 75 keys for free from the good of their heart. It's an advertisement that treasure hunter exists and draws attention to it under the double XP weekend.

And since you obviously didn't get the offer, it's highly likely that you will spend the money for it thus drawing in a profit.

Jagex is a company after all and companies needs a revenue. This is just a part of it.
There will always be people that get pissed off by it but this is life.

And here we have the problem with society today, mouthpieces for corporate greed who don't even care when their own face has been spat in, or maybe you're one of the ones who got offered it so you just don't really give a damn. Either way, this says it all about you.

Given that you've stated 'it's just business' then it would be better business to offer this to everyone, that way you're not gonna miss any revenue. This stupid idea is excluding people who may have actually taken the offer, but including people who may not take the offer. Do try to keep your statements as coherent as possible rather than contradicting yourself.

No, no it's not. I don't see how you work that out given that I'm here on the forums calling it out. Or perhaps you mean 'you' as in plural. I can't comment too much on that scenario, you're probably right, people seem to be absolute dolts these days.

Companies need a revenue? Gee, I didn't know that. Revenue isn't the problem; greed is. If they can offer this to anyone, they should be able to offer this to everyone, or are you saying that JaGeX is a company that runs at a loss? Odd that, given that just a week or two ago they were bought out by an American company for over $500 million.

Pretty sure an 'investment' company is going to invest wisely.

Perhaps a lot more players love TH so much that even Jagex doesn't realize.

I don't know how many people indicated they don't like or even don't want TH, but I can understand from the marketing perspective, companies are less likely to make promotional offers to people who show less or no desire to their product.

I often get these offers and i have no desire whatsoever to support MTX, not now, not in the future. Jagex made a financial mistake offering it to me, should have been offered to Monogamy. :D

I didn't want it bro, I'm not quite so self absorbed as to make posts only for myself, this post is in support of somebody I know.

I just believe in peoples rights to make their own decisions, as you didn't want it, neither did I. There are people however, (including somebody that I know, naming on forums is not allowed) that would have liked this offer but was not given it. People should be allowed to make these choices for themselves; if a promotion is running, it should, in my humble opinion, be offered in fairness to all.

Don't get me wrong, i agree with it. But as i understand it's quite the opposite what Dilbert said. These offers are made to the people who haven't bought keys and stuff, to hook them up.

That "somebody else" has probably bought keys lately.

If somebody you know want to buy keys then there are still more people like to buy keys than Jagex realize perhaps. It won't matter that somebody is you or anybody else.

The point remains this promotion is aimed at certain people who meet Jagex's criteria and quite often companies won't waste time on people who show very little or no desire to buy the product they are promoting. Your friend may indicated he like or at least don't dislike TH somewhere, may be in last survey or somewhere else.

I know people who bought keys before also got this kind of promotions too. They are not limited to people who haven't bought keys before.
