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.


Exactly so adding virtus to th was useless. Thanks for making ur point. They will now have less bond sales. I need my blue charms back.

Or perhaps a move that couldhelp stick newer players to the game?
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. We know this Dilbert. TH questions were even featured in the annual survey. We are just trying to figure out how far is this going. Is it going to be possible soon to open TH and get a 99 with one click? If the game is taken in an extreme direction we can choose weather to stay or go.

Uhm certainly not useless for them. These MTX decisions aren't done on a whim. There's an entire team behind this. This has gone through a (probably lengthy) approval process, with financial analysis and projections, pro and con lists and much more. After all this process the higher ups in the food chain came to the conclusion that adding that set to TH would net them more money than not adding it. And they're probably right.

That said, I think it's harmless. The item itself is pretty useless. It's t80, it's not augmentable and can't be traded. So meh. Whatever.

We should start worrying the day they put actual bis gear in TH that you cannot get from any other means than MTX. As far as I see it, that is the red line to not cross.
