Support. I just wish the suits in Jagex could see the value in actually adding these updates to F2P. Thanks and same.
I agree as well.
After all, any improvements to F2P can be enjoyed by all players, even visiting members.
Everyone should want a vibrant and fun F2P. That is where most new members are going to come from. These players will enjoy the free game experience, and are more likely to be excited to see what P2P has to offer.
Conversely, if a new player joins up and decides your free game is just a cheap demo littered with adverts, are they going to be as likely to stick and think, "Well, I guess I will buy a membership to see if this game still sucks." or are they more likely to decide the game sucks, then move on to find a different game? I know I would leave.
One of the main reasons I signed up here a couple of years back was because the F2P RuneScape experience is more than a demo. It is a full game with an optional membership expansion. Sometimes it seems as though Jagex conveniently forgets membership is optional, not necessary. I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

Jagex...has an advertising department?
Hehe, I am kidding, Seasons Past. Well, to an extent. The truth is I have been here just a few years, although I have been gaming for quite some time. I happened upon this game by accident. TBH, I do not recall seeing any advertisements for RS at all, until the occasional ad would appear in my FB feed after I had already signed up here.
I get what you are saying, although I would not consider players to be the product. We are the consumers. The game is the product.
You are so right in regards to the importance of retaining players. Given the sheer number of choices competing for the attention of players, combined with the convenience of mobile apps, I would say keeping players happy and loyal - convincing them to return regularly - is more important now than it ever has been.
This is why actions like last week's bugged graphical update which needlessly denied F2P from accessing popular combat content, really confounds me. Why go out of your way to earn the wrath of your players? It is idiotic!
I have to wonder just how many of these decision-makers actually play this game. I suspect not enough of them. If more of them played, most likely they would develop a better appreciation of the players' perspective. I've been putting out fire with gasoline!
