Personally, I see nothing wrong with the micro-transactions. No one is twisting your arm to participate in that.

However, having said that, these transactions should be not at a cost to decent content for everybody.

I do believe it is very important to keep the game viable for now, and in the future. I want it to see it be around.

It all comes down to balance.

ive just unsubbed because im not content with the fact that youve been parroting the same canned response for five years. im not content with the fact that you treat us like shit and expect us to eat it up and praise you for it. and im not content with the fact that youve created a freemium monster that people still need to pay membership for despite the most disgusting pay-to-win ive been unfortunate enough to encounter.

i hope you sleep well with the opinion that someone who started playing last week can spend $20 on keys and completely make up for the loss of a player of 10 years.

I don't think people should be this angry. The only complain I have is that there are so many promotions that is drives bond prices up like crazy. People are using them so fast, and they are going up so high due to how good promotions are lately.

I'm personally really bored of Runescape because there's nothing really left to do for a committed player. The only really good updates the past year half have been Telos, 3-5 quality of life updates, and I guess AoD? AoD lacks polish though so I don't find it that fun/hard of a boss.

I miss the old days of Runescape back in 2004-2005 era where there was always a big new quest, with a new area, or just new areas in general. There was always so much cool creative things but now a days it feels like when there's an update it's just a reskin of something else.

I hope you guys look back at the old days and see what made runescape successful. It didn't become popular because of it being an mmo, but because it was Runescape. It had things that no other game had. Look back and see what the Gower brothers did for Runescape and realize what made it special and popular.

EDIT: Also Jagex, as long as you keep your word on what you said with mtx, people won't leave your game. Just make 2018 the best year for Runescape and people will be hooked again. These people demanding a pound after you give them an ounce... you can't make them happy. They won't be happy until you get on your knees and beg for them to stay. Don't beg. Be strong, do what's right.

In fact it was DXPW and I trained summoning, fletching and had silverhawk boots. I never bought keys, except once when they had the outfit promo which I won a few pieces (from whatever one bond gives in keys). I play the game as it is, I don't even buy membership. I'm thankful there are people that can spend the money the spend to keep the game rolling. The game itself offers many ways to gain BXP in certain skills too, those that put in hours of their time, get larger XP gains. Not everything's MTX...

This is fantastic news, Mod Balance.

For those complaining, still, where i understand your frustration. I believe people should thoroughly read Mod Balance's comments. However, I also understand that you want to see plans put into practise! On the other hand, some complaints, I feel, are not justified. The promised announcement has been delivered, i feel this is a major step in combating the negative aspects of MTX.

Furthermore, I look forward to these proposed changes, which will shape Runescape into a more positive atmosphere. I also agree that Runescape mobile will bring many new players into the game, perhaps even give a greater reason to cut down on MTX.

Thank you Balance for delivering this statement.

Sorry for not communicating? Total bullshit - you've had plenty of time and opportunities to communicate with the community. In addition, where has all of this MTX money been going? It certainly can't be going into development (aside from new-hires) considering this year has been absolute trash in terms of updates. I could understand MTX (in general, not how awful it's been recently) if we in turn got quality game updates.

Very disappointing to see more hot air being spewed by a company who is completely disjointed from their players. Also, nice to see such an important announcement (front-page worthy) is being made known by tucking it into a forum section. I'll stick around until my membership runs out, but I plan to NOT renew. I've enjoyed my time on the game, and would prefer to have somewhat decent memories left of it before witnessing further decay.

So, I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, and based on past promises you guys have made, I'll expect minimal communication, further obscure responses, and no actual improvements.
