RuneScape will never be "salvagable". Most things grow and expand and for the better. Jagex wanted to create more income so therefore advertising more and getting more staff to cope with the large increase in players. Without this groowth the new and very well though out updates may never have been here. Some things do have to be sacrificed in order for a game to progress and in this case it was RuneScape's community that paid the price. It is inevitable in the end because its a game and it has to expand.
