Den Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Unless you got the sunbathe emote during the easy period, there's a very little chance of getting it. They made most of those summer items ridiculously rare now. I didn't even know it was common on the release weekend. I did manage to finally get dragon and queens (I got most of it release weekend but I needed a few more) I really hate all these cosmetic outfits that we can't get without buying spins. Mostly because spins leads to xp/gp and not just cosmetics. I would gladly pay for just the cosmetic stuff off squeel and nothing else! :cWelcome to my sorrow. :P I'm a vanity item collector and the SoF is a complete and utter motivation-kill for me. I still am missing 1 queen's guard and 2 Dragon Cere items. They never had them more common so I'm kinda annoyed about that. Queen's Guard is way more rare than uncommon though. My ratio of them is 1/75 or so spins. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Blaze The Movie Fan Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I had to post this I hate that I can't even see/use the word spin in real life without feeling sorry for this game. I understand what you mean, the spin has made leveling up a skill way too easy. Well, it's not exactly easy if you do it daily, but the fact that you can use real money to get all those small and medium xp lamps quickly proves that it's easy to level up skills. And even the daily activity makes it easier than it should be. I'm not complaining, since I cheat in other games I'm actually happy that leveling up is easier.

Mercifull Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 At least they admitted that they've gone a bit overboard with the SOF promotions in the livestream...I think it was the outrage over the Achemist squeal promotion trumping the God Wars Dungeon, arguable the biggest update so far this year, after only 2 days.

Mercifull Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 If 90% of players really do use the SoF every day then there's no need to advertise it on the website AT ALL ;) 2 Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Could understand die hard refusal to buy spins, but passing out of freebies.. meh. It'd be interesting to see how many players have bought spins, and how many spins on average they bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be interesting to see how many players have bought spins, and how many spins on average they bought.This, and it would be interesting (although probably discouraging to the microtransaction business model) if there were a way to distinguish spin-purchasers from everyone else. That seems a bit divisive though.I wonder what the actual % is of people that purchase solomon/spins. I'd guess like 5-15% each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonanananas Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Tbh 90% is LOW. Consider it's more effort not to use it than to use it, and that using it will give you an advantage, with no reason not to spin except dislike of the whole thing, 10% of players not using it is actually a lot. I don't use it anymore either, but less because I want to show that I am against it (I can see the point of it being introduced, and I don't think it will be the death of runescape) and more because it just personally makes me feel better :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

999134 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 10% might be bots? But would have thought even the bots might spin the free ones. Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that more or less than 90% that spin daily?Off-topic regarding the spinning, but I think you're onto something, may I add; I think when you login, there should be in-game news, ie; the same news that's on the front page, this then forces you to read it (or skip it if you wish to go straight into the game) hopefully this would stop thousands of accounts going "what was update?"

Blutters Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I wonder what the actual % is of people that purchase solomon/spins. I'd guess like 5-15% eachI'd guess a bit higher, at least with solomon. I see people practically everywhere with some of the clothing pieces or multiple other things that they would have had to have bought additional runecoins to get. That is not to say that they use it often or even more than once though.

I'd just go directly to the game window/use the client too, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yeah, I saw that video yesterday on reddit. It's pretty crazy that someone would go to such a length to abuse the free spin system...and even more crazy that he wasn't caught on the first day for dangerous-portal transferring. It's pretty pathetic that you could virtually trade your wealth and spread it across safety accounts in the event one of your mules gets banned and basically feel no repercussions to your rulebreaking.
