RuneScape Monetisation
Quick find code: 366-367-817-65960268
Too little, too late, time and time again. I loved this game and I love the community but this is just rediculous. I feel like I made the correct decision here - why didn't you guys go out there and prove me wrong? You've literally had years.
You know what I'm referring to, I'm sure.
What happened to it being Just About the Gaming EXperience?
That was never intended as a guideline for microtransactions.
Yknow. Experience. It's a bad way to go.
Experience from learning from past mistakes seems to be what's lacking here, but sadly for you guys you can't buy it on treasure hunter.
Sooner or later the UK government is going to regulate gambling crap like this in video games. I look forward to the day it does. Sure, the government are slow and take forever to acknowledge the issue, but the clock has been ticking on for years and all the research is out there waiting for them to open. My advice to Jagex? Cut out the gambling.

The sad and simple fact is that the game is going to the mobile market, where MTX is part of the game play. Once the RS mobile is released, then OSRS will also be forced to endure the MTX too. Probabley more so because its code and game is simpler to adjust to the mobile market that RS3.
Why do you think all the coders have been taken off the game, and made to work on the mobile, its not rocket science.
I don't mind the MTX, except for the selling of XP and BXP, because thats just ruined all our hard work and effort in the game. Took me 5 hard years work to get a maxed account, now I see them happen in 3 months. Together with ppl buying xp and gaining 200-300mill xp per week.
Who want to be part of an unfair game, were you can pay to win, there is no achievement in that! (Really miss the Gowers)

People should not forget that ultimately it were the Gowers who sold out. And at the time that that happened, MMO's which were sold out being turned into MTX ridden products was nothing new. Yet the Gowers, which as educated as they are, whilst they must have been fully aware of this chose to sell out anyway.
Many people would likely have done the same, but bare in mind that by their actions they've contributed just as well to this form of monetization of RuneScape. Heck, it all stems down to them selling out.
