I actually enjoyed the Second Chance Tuesday promotions. Can't say I support the rework because there isn't anything wrong with TH as it is. There doesn't need to be more cosmetics in TH because that's what the SGS store is for. The cosmetics aren't even really that desirable considering everyone has them.

Atleast this post shows some sort of progress.

We cannot expect Jagex to just stop having Treasure Hunter around. They're a business and especially with the newest take-over, they want profit. That's just logical.

Also, more profit SHOULD mean more/better updates (something that has been lacking this year).

Let's just hope we just get some fewer promotions, we get more cosmetics etc. and less XP-focussed ones and we actually get better content. They stated they're rehiring again and I think that's a good plan. Hopefully they actually do what they say.

If they actually hire some extra people to help get us more and better content, aswell as reducing some of the OP promo's / less frequent XP promo's and more cosmetics-focussed, this could be a good step.

Again, we've seen many promises before, let's hope they actually stick to it this time.

"We hear you, and we shouldn’t have let it get to this point. "

Hindsight's 20/20

" Without that income stream we would have to massively cut back on investment into the game and we feel that would be very damaging for RuneScape and the community. "

What investments into the game? You realize we know exactly how much profit you've made, right? PROFIT as in "what's leftover from your revenue after salaries, overhead costs and INVESTMENTS, among others".

"We can – and will – do better."

Heard it before.

"The mobile client"

Is going to bomb hard... Nobody asked for it, nobody who isn't already playing RS is going to pick up a game that's worse thn freemium games. You'll have your addicts playing rs in class through mobile instead of through the client, big whoop.

" The Prize Pool promo won’t ever be seen again"

Not sure if you're wilfully missing the point, are stupid or think we're stupid.

Ever heard of the expression "the straw that broke the camel's back"?

"we are starting a rework of Treasure Hunter"

Like how you started the rework for mining and smithing in, what, 2013?

"While we as the game’s developers sometimes seem to have other priorities"

You have priorities other than your job? What? WHAT?

"Hopefully you can see we're making some immediate changes"

How are we supposed to see any changes? You detailed one change. And it's a pointless one, "hurdur, instead of 7 days of promo a week, we're going to do 6 and remove the least intrusive one, hurdur".

"Our overall goal is to deliver you frequent, high-quality content updates, bring the game onto more platforms, and tune MTX to be less abrasive. "

How about you focus on just one of those changes and actually do that one change? I was going to say "do it right", but honestly, after this response, one would have to be stupid to expect that of you.

Abu Snake said :

Yes - Let's go from 100M profit a year to 20M profit a year.

We don't care about money - Said no business ever.
