This blog inspires me to create my own DIY account, even though I know I could never follow through. Keep going! :thumbup:

I've been a member for many years, and the squeal update seemed to be the final straw. When the update came out, on an impulse buy I wasted around $50 in spins. As soon as I finished the spins I literally did a "What the [bleep] did I just do?!" Simply for that reason, I've completely left my account (Got a friend to do a keysmash copy paste so the password can't be guessed, as well as do the same thing for my recovery questions) and started a new F2P account. I have no plans of paying another cent to Jagex, simply because through gullibility I've paid enough. I must say though that it's quite annoying to see at least one members ad whenever I log on. I'm glad that F2P hasn't changed much, simply because I don't have to pay for it, I won't be surprised by a horrible update, (Since F2P rarely gets them) and it brings back nostalgia of when I first started playing years ago. (Also, if you think you know who this is, feel free to PM me in game, but I would like to try and stay as anonymous as possible. Somewhat of a fresh start without past regrets you could say.)

It should be noted, that with the Squeal wheel you can win extra rolls, which do have a fixed monetary value as appointed by Jagex. Therefore it is currently gambling not only by common sense, but also by the UK law. As long as you can't lose money it's not gambling. Well, technically you can lose money. F2P accounts, in order to get the special rare item that they've just won, have to pay more money in order to acquire it. Not only is that another microtransaction, but it's also a bribe.
