My point exsactly, they don't have their own opinions, they are just following the trend which at the moment is to bash on everything & anything. - Twitter | RuneScape FB Group | My PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may seem so, but come on, are you not getting sick of comments like this one above destroying any chance of a real discussion on tif?I am sick of it, so let's stop.I hope you're in response to both sides because I can't stand the lack of appreciation people have for the game and it's creators. I consider myself a relatively ancient member to the runescape society predating members by at least a year. It's been the societal norm to whine over things like this for at least six years if not since the release of the rsof. I wonder why tip.it mods haven't followed suit with how the jmods said they would enforce slanderous posts on their forums. I feel there is nothing wrong with being opinionated, but people need to roll with the blows and stop whining and feeling entitled.

Saradomin_Mage Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Actually what was the whole argument about again lol.Who cares about bonus XP, faster XP rates, or whatever. I'm not going to cry if people get to train Runecrafting at 2x, 3x, 10x the XP rate I used to get. I'd actually just like some new content this summer that I can look forward to.Like, something big and exciting, not four random items that are going to get thrown in randomly.An exciting new quest or a sequel to an existing one, a cavernous non-linear dungeon to explore, or a new minigame that isn't some limited time holiday event.You can keep throwing in microtransactions, but please just give me some new content that takes a sizeable amount of time to get around and explore. I'll be looking forward to the BTS in August; it can't get much thinner than what we've had in June or July. K lol for the sake of discussion let's talk about CHOOSE YOUR FATE (notice the all caps!).Do you think they'll be XP boosting items? Weapons/armour? Skilling tools? There are four of them, so you'd assume each would have some specific use. 2 In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Fielmann Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 An exp-giving item, for as long as it's not a lamp, but something like a Mad Necklace / Hati stuff, to replace the bxpw, is fine. It's basically the same thing as a bxpw except that it offers more flexibility and doesn't screw with the economy. (It would obviously be better if it was like Hati in that it had some story and a short activity come with it, but w/e.) The fact that it's tied to being a member is fine too, because bxpws were members only as well. Having said that, I really don't like the rest of the newspost and the general tone of it all. Exclamations, exaggerated commercial-like language, promises to pour players over with tons of cosmetic items and whatnot, just makes the whole thing feel cheap. And 'the most powerful item ever seen in Runescape just for being a member' is a frightening notion in itself, regardless of the playing around with the various connotations of 'item', 'chance', 'choose', etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I personally find everyone going on about Jagex is useless as we get this instead of content for the summer completely foolish.Yes July has been a bit slack on content, but we do get the odd slack month and a lot has been getting done with EoC and as for the months this promotion applies too we have no idea what Jagex are doing content-wise, I mean atleast wait for august bts before writing things off as 'no content to keep us subscribed.' Don't get me wrong I agree with the kinda lame move in basically selling items etc. I just disagree with the line of the logic outlined above.

Racheya Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Wow, they actually did it. It's the final nail in the coffin. Now you pay for XP and buy items (worth $45!!!! D=).

IridiumBunny Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I am not really sure who they are trying to appeal to with all these membership gimmicks. Looking at the world list right now, there is far fewer F2P worlds than P2P worlds, and the F2P worlds generally have far fewer people in them. To me it seems like the majority of players are already members, and the few that are not will likely not become member regardless (bot, pure free player, parental restrictions etc). Unless their goal is to stop people quitting mems during RWT scandals, wouldn't it be better to spend their time attracting new players rather than trying to get existing F2P to go P2P?

I don;t think we have any hard statistics to allow us to state as fact that the majority of customers are from x. Also currency commonplace is entirely subjective to where you are, for a UK based company it is commonplace to use GBP and convert from that to whatever denomination you might want.It is certainly not an international commonplace to use USD as some sort of 'master' currency everyone can convert from.

Sure jagex had there reasons for opting for the $ approach though, would be nice to see a breakdown of player location though, even if it's purely continental. Wonder how many players would be from North America as opposed to Europe or Asia.

muggiwhplar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 RS will live as long as people continue to pay for membership. Which is ironic because it seems that the people who don't have membership are bored and have moved on, while the people here complaining are the ones who refuse to stop playing.

highlanders Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think it's apparent that there are more players from the US than from any other country. No need to be a statistician to figure that out. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
