Another big and bold move by Jagex. Perhaps another one that could push people away from the game? Or perhaps a move that couldhelp stick newer players to the game?

What are your thoughts?

Just a really dumb idea, Jagex is just selling out as fast as they can.

My thought The player's thoughts?

How about an anti-MTX RIOT at W66 Falador?

Oh wait... we had one earlier today:

How would that make sense? Runescape is about the journey more so than the destination, so when you start skipping the journey, you're significantly reducing the amount of enjoyment you can get from the game. The less content newer players play, the sooner they get bored when they run out of it.

As long as they don't sell Story Skip, players can always enjoy their journey episodically in RS3 without paying. There are plenty of things to do and xp/level can remain content but not necessarily the only important content. Don't forget there are pets/titles/Achievements etc to further enhance our gaming experience.

All the most successful games today have xp/levels but very very few of them rely on grinding xp/levels anymore. All the likes of MOBAs, Battle Royale like Fortnite and Apex Legends, FPS, card/strategic, MMORTSs have competitive game modes to get players engaged. They sell xp and levels through different means too but certainly it doesn't mean they don't have content.

Well, MMORPGs are going this direction too. It is just a matter of how fast they get there.

Shrug.

People could already buy bonds for irl cash, sell them ingame and then buy a nex set (or other much better items) from that. So yeah, if some whale wants to spend lots of cash to gamble for some rather cheap t80 stuff, who cares.

Calm down people. It's not a big deal... I personally support it because the armor sets look cool and it's not like it's easy to get a whole set off TH. It takes a good chunk of luck and a hell of a credit card. Probably only 1% of the RS population will luckily get a whole set.

And hey. If someone wants to spend $$$$ to Jagex, it's not your problem. They've already been selling XP which I think is also a good strategy because the RS genre is getting dull already.

It's funny because just months ago, I read some thread about lucky items on TH are useless. Now, they publish T80 lucky items and everyone is acting like they're having a nonstop orgasm.
