TH is the symptom of the natural evolution of the playerbase from "student:I-have-all-the-time-in-the-world-to-grind-but-not-the-money" to "worker:I-have-more-money-and-less-time-please-let-me-access-and-buy-xp-instead-of-grinding".
Blackhawk belongs evidently to the first category or is a much less represented member of the category against the second one.[/quote]

I believe you onto something here, about the constant MTX conversations and the people against it- or the ones that don't mind it to much.
If people wouldn't spend the money on extras- then Jagex would have STOPPED it long ago. So your whining is really a waste of time.... Jagex must have enough Statistics to keep it going.
If you have the time to grind grind grind you must fall into the student or welfare program around the world because a NORMAL male or female adult works 40 hours a week or if you in the USA even up to 60+ hours depending on the Profession. Even stay at home moms of young children have limited time to play rs.
but yeah keep talking about easy scape verses grind scape...…… like really all of you gonna play Runescape in 20,30, 40, 50 years from now ------ grinding away aimlessly.
