1:FTP never had pure essence. 2:Jagex wants people to become members, this is a pretty good way of doing that. 3:There is no 3. Mysterious! 1. Regular rune essence was basically pure essence until they split it into two, giving f2p the downgrade. 2. Regardless of what makes sense for getting more members, jagex should have a balanced game. There have been many occasions where jagex gave f2p something p2p once had - it's clear they do value balance even when it means they sacrifice a member-enticing feature. 3. Touche. 1: It was still Rune essence, it wasn't like FTP could craft natures and laws. :roll: 2: Any good bussiness would want more money coming in. However, Jagex, I'm sure of, will either stand firm on the spilt, or re-merge them. I'm betting on the former. 3: How do you respond to something that wasn't there? :lol:
