You know, I've come to the conclusion that Jagex really needs to just work on their PR. Effigy nerf should've happened at the same time as the RuneSpan update. When the SoF came out, they could've spun it as a way to make money for better content, like this upcoming combat update. Start releasing some screenshots/info earlier, then the beta comes out. Hell, they could've even spun it that so without the help/investment of IVP the combat update wouldn't have been doable or wouldn't have been doable for a much longer time or something. And then when they announce no more bxp, add that they're planning to do something like the runespan for herblore and agility.
