When "Squeal of Fortune" was first released in RuneScape HD, before RS3 and bonds existed, it was actually good. Basically to get more spins you actually had to pay Jagex, thus not a lot of people (especially F2P) players were actually getting much if they did not pay money to Jagex. The game stayed afloat.

Then came the transition from RuneScape HD to RS3. It still stayed afloat but became unstable. Then the bond was introduced. I remember it was probably on that day the GE was filled like never before, even the new 4 station design was not enough on a P2P or even F2P world. The only word that was going around was "bond" and "squeal of fortune", most of the time together. People literally turned to botting and scamming just to earn money, get a bond, and redeem a spin.

As the bots were removed talks subsided about bonds and squeal of fortune, and instead a majority of F2P chat log at GE was filled with begging about squeal of fortune, bonds, and money. I remember one person in that chat log once, that I probably will never forget. They stated something along the lines that they spent over a total of a GRAND of real life money throughout a week to buy bonds from Jagex and used them on Squeal of fortune. Even after using the spins they still didn't have enough fun with squeal of fortune and were begging for more money or bonds.

Then Squeal of fortune was removed, and in came "Treasure Hunter". There was a controversy then that sparked among many parents complaining to Jagex that it was gambling. Jagex then removed a majority of cash or tradeable related prizes and replaced them with star, lamps, and cosmetic items.

Now we are here today, and the game is literally ruined. I feel that there is no more of a difference between F2P and P2P other than the skills and quests, but in terms of area, is not a incentive anymore as it was back in RuneScape HD era.

"Treasure Hunter" and "Squeal of Fortune", basically ruined the game when the bond was introduced.

Actually nothing ruined the game, Bond just makes this game pay to win but a pay to win game doesn't mean a "ruined" game. The one who feel the others paying more than them are the winners and they are losers just because they buy less or no bonds with real money are the ones who RUINED their own game by having this thought.

How sooo? When did I ever say that "everyone" who payed are the ones who ruined the game. I SPECIFICALLY MEANT THOSE THAT "PAYED" FOR TH or Squeal Of Fortune were the ones that ruined the game.


This game is not P2W. It is 100% F2W, believe me. If you know how to play.... you do not need to spend a single penny to Jagex.

Oh one more thing.... there is no message that pops up that LITTERALY SAYS WORD BY WORD... "YOU HAVE WON THE GAME!" The messages that shows 200Nill xp are just nothing but showing off. I myself do not consider having 200M xp in all skills is the only way one can say they won the game. I my self think that buying all rare tradable holiday items means winning the game. F2P have ways to make money.... so the game is F2W.

What? I clearly wrote
"Actually nothing ruined the game"
, not that I said you said whoever "ruined" the game.

The game is in good shape with good integrity and making good money for the wise company Jagex from good consumers who voiced with their wallets. Nothing is "ruined" at all. :D:D:D

Noobs been real world trading since forever. Jägex didn't ruin Rs. It's always been ruined. And now you're jealous and mad cos u think U got robbed.
Skillet? Skill no.

Don't know if the "u" in your "u think U got robbed" meant me. If so, then I actually don't feel robbed since I don't care about pay to win at all.

If somebody afford to pay more than me, it only means they are richer or more willing to pay than me, but it doesn't mean they win anything over me. :D

I fully support the removal of treasure hunter they asked if people wanted to remove squel of fortune and everyone wanted it to die yet they turn around and added treasure hunter in its place? the game is dying because jagex is killing it with all the bonus xp.... i mean how is it fair to someone who doesnt have the ability to buy bonus xp and have to grind the skill that someone with a deep wallet can do in few days. they still have time to fix the game. if they take their eyes away from all the micro transactions.... keep bonds... yes it in game gold but also away for less fortunate to have members keep solomons ( just cosmetics) but remove the treasure hunter and its massive xp dumps. until they remove this and start focusing on bettercontent to add to the game the game will slowly die and its sad because of the potential this game has to offer. I have seen this game grow to what it is and the day they added SOF (TH) and Then the day they added EOC is when they stopped listening to the fan base and have left the game to hang and die now it seems they just want to make as much money as they let the game burn and die just look at the players on each world now less than 300 at anytime even on World 2 when World 2 used to stay full

SOF used to give a lot of direct xp lamps. TH mixed in a good portion of bonus xp stars. Obviously with bonus xp from TH, it requires players to play the game most of the time to get the xp.

It has been like 7 years since SOF and EOC. This game is hardly slowly dying, especially when you compare it to other games in the same MMORPG genre like EQ, GW, Eve or even WoW. Number of "players" in a specific world is not the total number of players whatsoever of that game. You don't even 300 players in most MMORPG in one world when those MMORPG is not singled shard like Eve.

If the game is dying, Jagex won't be breaking world records as well as its own financial records years after years with all the MTX in the game. In fact, even if certain common denominator few insist to look at "concurrent player online" as a "big deal" (which in real life it is nothing to all main and Wall Street people), they will see that RS3 number is actually trending up pretty well since summer of 2018... and RS3 Mobile is not even out, but will be soon. :D:D:D

Are you seriously saying RS is doing well compared to WoW? A game that beats RS in player count (by a mile), revenue (10B vs 56M in 2018, WoW brought in 10x revenue in a single year than Jagex did in its lifetime, not just RS3, the whole of Jagex), employee count, global reach, tournaments, etc etc.

Don't even talk about the juggernaut that is WoW, even Eve brought in more revenue in 2016 at 86M. Plus it was sold for 425M, while Jagex's net worth sits at 350M. Oh, and their active player count is only slightly more than RS3, but it beat both RS3 and OSRS combined, and I don't hear Eve players complain about rampant MTX.

Even GW2, brought in 70M in 2018 vs 56M of Jagex, a single game beat a whole company.

And somehow you can still claim that RS is doing well compared to them? The examples you brought up only served to prove your argument wrong.
