What's your 9 year old doing playing RuneScape?

Left & Right click button game, is so hard...

 

so so hard.

 

true story.

 

Did I say anything about the difficulty level? You've said your 9 year old is now addicted? (Not sure if serious...). The game's 13+, not because of the "Difficulty rating", but because of the content and the communication with strangers. But hey, I'm not going to question your parenting. :thumbup:

 

Off-topic, yada yada.

I don't that you can get extra spins from in-game things, though the microtransactions...that's just a dropkick to the face, really bad craic!

 

Really, one of their most stupid ideas.

Seriously, do they even listen to the community anymore or do they only care about filling their pockets? <_<

APRIL FOOOOOOOLS :D, oh wait its the 2nd of april :(

 

but on a serious note who would pay that much for spins? regardless i think we all knew that microtransactions will be implemented to the game at some point, bad move by jagex though.

Oh for pete's sake. That's not right at all. It's like saying Deal or No Deal isn't gambling because the least you could get would be the penny in the box. A loss is a relative term, wherein you end up with a reduced value in the things you own than you did before you played the game. 50gp is a loss, a Lucky Divine Spirit Shield is a win. This is not a negotiable statement.

Exactly. Even if they try and get away with misinterpreting a definition for gambling, this is RWT (exchanging real money for in-game items; especially since you always get an item). Either way, what disturbs me the most is the fact that they encourage gambling in minors with this. It is highly addictive and is not something children should actively be exposed to by any company. There is a reason minors aren't allowed in casinos. <_<

 

 

Gambling in RS. Only OK if Jagex does it. With real money. For virtual goods that you don't own.

 

And this nicely invalidates Mod Timbo's claim that it isn't gambling, seeing how Jagex owns both our accounts as well as the items on them. You could even argue that Jagex is selling the illusion that players can win things (as opposed to always winning something) because the items do not belong to us.

There was once a time that I'd be surprised by this, but it no longer does. That's kind of sad, but unfortunately there are still aspects of the game I enjoy so I will keep playing while Jagex cheapens the game.

 

Everyone buying spins is just encouraging them, since they know that people will.

 

To be honest, when I read the news article about buying spins, I assumed using gp, but of course that wouldn't benefit them.

 

+1

 

Then all of us 'too impatient to wait' for more spins - As jagex says *rolls eyes* can then use the virtual gp to buy spins. (TOTALLY disagree with this too but it atleast removes the rwt for xp aspect. It defeats their 'reasoning' as to why /we/ need this rather than the pure greed and lack of security involved with update..)

 

Hell alot less of a real life money security risk if it was virtual gp as it stands for those who dont DO something extra due to jagex being stupid. Would atleast require damn bank pin to access the virtual gp compared to the instant access to paying real life money with just a pw >.> Both for malicious people who get onto accounts and kids who use their parents cards. Even simply people mistakenly buying spins as they are new to the game and didnt quite realise what they were doing.

 

That or they could just put better damn security in place to begin with. Its extremely unprofessional bs. Bad recovery system + Ability for malicious people to cause rl financial harm.

 

 

Ergh.. got mod mat k talking in the cc. He like some parrot of how we already been told that this is a good update.

So what's the best thing you can get on the squeal... A divine? and the worst a bronze arrow right? The difference in prize then is between 532 million, and 10gp. At current RWT (yes i know it's against the rules but I picked a random website for the figure) thats a prize of between $516 and $0.0000097 equivalent value. A casino paying out 1 cent on each play is far more generous than Jagex is being. People paying $20 for spins are not going to count winning bronze arrows as "wins" no matter what those mods say.

where are you looking that will buy rsgp 1$/1M? I've got about 250 if that's the case lol

 

point: RSGP atm is .5$/M give or take

Jagex isn't going to go back on their official, company-sanctioned stance on the update until the higher-ups call it off. All he can do is forward your frustration to a relevant department, and you won't get anything new or useful out of him.

So i miss clicked an imp and on the first kill got myself a free spin. I've also been hearing that these spin tokens are pretty common with high level monsters like TD's, about to go test that out.

Oh I know. I aint talking in the cc, just barely reading it while focusing more on playing game/reading forums.

 

I think the biggest problem I have with that type of behaviour is when there is a obvious security flaw of this nature involved in an update. Easily fixable with common sense. THEN the update itself isnt that good either for all the other reasons already discussed.

Runescape.com > click "Get more spins" at the top > scroll down > Buy Spins > log in > scroll down > you'll see credit card details if it's linked (if so click "Manage Cards" or something and you'll have an option to remove your card)
