    Their response to them real world trading by allowing members to purchase their features, was that without real world trading, Jagex would not exist. This decision was not a horrible one, as it allows ADULTS to gamble, as only ADULTS can pay for RuneScape.Actually I believe they still allow cash in envelopes. If that is the case then children will son be gambling their lives away.

    This new 'Win to Spin' update should not get many players very much XP, or items, as the chance of receiving is so low already. They are effectively pulling in a new source of income, with little in game effect.

    With the money this pulls in, I hope to see more added to the game, because Jagex was originally created as a small company, that enjoyed writing games, much like us, as we are small and write bots because we enjoy it. Not because it is a source of income.

    Last word hasn't been said about this new update. Short excerpts from the rs-thread:

    • This gaming-model is illegal in Australia.
    • Jagex has been taken over by a commercial financial institute.
    • It is an unfair advantage.
    • It goes against their own RWT-rules.
    • Mayority is outraged (protests in world 66 and 100), some are happy.
    • Mods are doing their utmost to keep the thread clean, but fail.
    • Someone spent €18 for 75 spins returning just coins and runes, another spent €18 and recieved 240k XP

    After a bit of digging around, it seems Andrew decided to finally cash in on RuneScape and he sold his stake to a Insight Ventures, the same company bought a 35% part Jagex before in 2005, for £75M. They got a controlling 52% now which means Jagex is now in hands of some financial guys, in there for the money.

    Seems the gamers lost. Too bad, it was a nice game.
    I made a new script, check it out!.

    Some quote from jagex I read on the forums:

    "We don’t want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn’t affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."

    Even worse, if someone hacks your account, he can easily buy a zillion SoF's worth of microtransactions....and sees your credit card number in the SoF tasb appearantly.

    Well, maybe it is time for us to find a new game

    This one is actually getting even crappier, as impossible as that seems.

    Eh, calm down guys. Jagex needs money for their updates or maybe even to fund their anti-bot programs or w.e

    So what if you get a couple lamps.. and the items break if you die so it really doesn't have much effect on the game.

    I wouldn't mind this ( I still would dislike it, but I would tolerate it ) if it was only giving extra spins form skilling/dalies/ etc.. But BUYING them? This is a blatant act of desperation from them. It goes against one of their principles from the very start of the company, I think andrew said ( a long long longggg time ago )

    "What you have in real life should never effect your success in Runescape, we use minimal system resources and charge as little as we can for members so everyone can be on equal footing"

    Something like that.. Can't find the quote atm.. Anyways -- seems to me they have fucked one of their core values pretty hard with this

    calm down people this is a money gimmick. and the chances of you getting a huge lamp are slim. and at the most for 30 spins u might get 8 lamps. also any item over 100k is untracdable and has the word lucky in front of it. and the 10m cash pile is only usable in rs stores, so the best thing to do with that is buy charms. so u might get 7m out of the 10m. thats about it.
