Don't understand the uproar about this. Lucky bandos and chaotics are okay, but virtus is somehow too far?

They literally sold lamps with treasure hunter packages a few weeks ago.

I'm guessing this is only upsetting PvMers who are personally impacted by the price of Virtus. Not anyone with any principles, as they'd already be long gone.

ok

What's that? The sound of crickets chirping when Jagex released lucky divine spirit shields?
Don't forget – RuneScape members get TWO free spins a day instead of the usual one!

So this solves the problem for new players not having access to high lvl armor. If they are rich they can buy levels and armor strait from th and start having fun immediately. I bet this was the logic behind this decision. You also have to consider that mobile is not out yet. Said new players can buy bonds and get the real deal not some gimmick set from th but most importantly you should consider how to introduce the new crowd from mobile to the game in a way they can feel the appeal of a progression based game. Your current tactics are overly aggressive and may have the opposite effect on player retention. You will end up with customers who will never grasp the spirit of RS and will never become loyal.
Just sayn.

Really not that big an issue. New players who go through the progression system aren't whales. Whales won't care about the progression no matter what anyway.

Besides, Runescape "Whales" are just anchovies in other games. For instance, this is the confession of a £500 "whale":

One player told Kotaku that he’s what game companies would consider a “whale,” a term for players who spend a lot on microtransactions. “When I got older and got a job, I started to buy these microtransactions myself. I’d say I’ve spent over £500 on Runescape’s microtransactions alone.


Poor "whale", £500 is not going to get him from level 1 to 80 and then luckily win a piece of Shadow Virtus.

Thanks already won virtus gloves for free these seem common should crash all virtus except bottoms and top. :) Also thanks for cheap zaros components. I need my blue charms back.
