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.


Exactly.

Sadly though ppl like to complain for the sake of complaining :/


Well I know the integrity and spirit of RS means absolute jack-shit to you. But Jagex need to decide whether they want to continue down the MTX route, cause if it's here to stay, then they need to waiver the membership fees. Too much money not actually going into development of the game. The MMO space might be dying, but not even RS has the staying power to survive for much longer.

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.



This.


considering you gained 120.5M xp last month n another 44.3M xp this month, its not hard 2 see why u feel that way lol


Uhh you do realise it was a dbxp weekend last month? And 44.3m exp in a month is easy to get if you just do an hour of dailies for the month


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...


u dont buy membership but have gold premier status :| also, your saying in 1 dxp weekend u got 30 mill xp in fletching, 10 mill in agility, 29.3m in hunter, 18mill summoning, 5.8mill divi, and 10.7m invention in a matter of dxp weekend or month flat? seems legit

Like I said, I trained Fletching & Summoning + silverhawks (Agility) on Dxpw, the rest was during the month, with training methods available to anyone that meet the requirements. I also use Gp to buy the membership with bonds. You seem fairly new or just need to adventure more, you'll find out as you progress the many methods the game has to offer.

P.S. Feel free to add me for any tips. :)

Sad to see this unique game with so much potential going to waste like this..
I really hope you guys actually are going remove TH and focus on cosmetics only at some point. Otherwise i don't think you can save this sinking ship. Look at cs go, look at path of exile. That is how you do mtx without losing players. ITS NOT THAT FREAKING DIFFICULT...

If there we more quality updates to accompany the MTX, then it would be OK. But there's simply been very, very few quality updates this year to make me interested in RS3. OSRS is getting a new raid, Dragonslayer II, a farming guild, and much more. Why can't RS3 just go back to simple updates that everyone enjoyed?

For one of the first experiments we will not be running second-chance-Tuesday for the rest of the year.


Only reason I'm disappointed in this is because of the skill outfits I have yet to complete. Other than that, good.

Dude, you must really suck at the game if you think that's difficult to do on dxp weekend.

I'd go as far to say also to look at FFXIV, cause they currently have a Chinese market, a sub, and a mtx that is simply cosmetics with massive account level restrictions on the boosts provided in their mtx store. And they sure as hell are doing a lot better then this place currently, even with its bit of drought from time to time.

Also, having recently returned when leaving while SoF and Solomons were still in their infancy, to come back and see how devolved it has all gone from there. Puts me off from wanting to shell anything out at this point, cause everything screams "save this sinking ship."
