When it takes this continued to even adjudge to abode the MTX issue, let abandoned eventually assuredly acquaint about it, don't apprehend it to be acceptable news. If it's assuredly communicated, in actuality accomplishing something about it is something abroad entirely. Can you brainstorm the bulk of PR combing and adorning their declared account is traveling through? Jagex's advertising machines are at work.
They're allegedly putting every chat and letter beneath the microscope to accomplish best aftereffect to dispense players to accumulate on advance in a dying (and absolute visibly ageing and breaking) adventurous and how 'the approaching is absolute bright' for RuneScape. Afterwards all, they're no strangers to and are experts at manipulating humans if it comes to elimination their wallets on their anxiously advised bank mechanics. If you didn't notice, on Treasure Hunter afterwards you run out of keys, the big 'buy keys' button has a across-the-board afterglow aftereffect active above it and a abundance of bill animated in the accomplishments (as adjoin to added buttons) - that's the akin of cerebral abetment we're ambidextrous with here, and the added you attending at aggregate and the little details, the added you will acquisition and it's just cringy and abominable to see.
They've consistently abandoned your MTX posts. It's abandoned a affair now because the accomplished aggregate is mad. The accuracy is they accept no intentions of changing. They showed aught averseness apropos absolution Virtus on TH even afterwards the antecedent backlash, which tells you all you charge to know. If they had any ambition to change, they would've at atomic reconsidered it or done something or captivated aback in any anatomy since. Naturally, if anyone who has some anatomy of affliction or any intentions to change, you apprehension changes in behaviour.
Their contempo PR accomplishment on beck (and a lot of acceptable the acumen they absitively to run it, if the originally appointed 'big' questions Q&A beck was mysteriously 'cancelled') which angrily bootless in an advance to abstract from or broadcast the absolute affair is absolute cogent that their capital ambition is PR rather than change, and as such their account (whenever it's declared to come) will be focused on the above rather than the closing (which will be loaded with apocryphal claims of change or a angle of some new MTX mechanics that are added buried and appropriately artful and of advance 'new' content). It's adequately accessible and axiomatic from antecedent statements that, at the absolute least, they wish to be able to accumulate MTX at the best accessible while aswell somehow befitting the players subscribing/happy (and they've abominably been accepting abroad with it for a while but you can't absolutely accept both, one of them has to go). Their aboriginal advance in advertisement the new accomplishment was aimed at the closing (player happiness) and seeing if it achieves something and makes the above (MTX) ignorable or beneath of an affair (by their logic, they anticipation maybe the players are abandoned agitated or paying absorption to MTX now due to the abridgement of content, so their ambition was content). In summary, it was absolutely an advance alone focused on alteration the acumen of the affair rather than the affair itself.
It's far added easier to advertise or adumbration that you accept intentions to change than it is to abide bashful while boring crafting a absolute anxiously worded PR account which they accept allegedly been alive on. In added words, it's absolute simple to say acceptable account than it is to say bad account which will yield a while to put calm in a presentable way with as abundant sugarcoating as possible. You saw how quick they were to advertise a new accomplishment on stream, even admitting they could accept and it would've been bigger to adjournment for RuneFest aback that's if they would be able to allotment the abounding details. If the aforementioned activated for MTX, afresh they would've befuddled in a quick acceptable advertisement or done something to appearance amicableness (like abolish a promo, or the Virtus promo at least) afore they were accessible to allotment their abounding account and plans, but there is acutely no endlessly to the MTX alternation agronomics through the adventurous at abounding steam.
If you remember, their antecedent account accent how important it is to accept this blazon and akin of MTX so they can advance in the adventurous added and accomplish added new content. Assuming that is even accidentally true, I'd rather accept a adventurous with no big agreeable updates and no MTX but a advancing advantageous adventurous with abundant candor and association than a adventurous loaded with acutely aggressive, immoral, bloodthirsty and annihilative MTX, no adventurous integrity, absolute poor bloom and dying association - it's just bigger to annihilate the adventurous off at that point, as it's abandoned confined Jagex and not the players. However, that was acutely a huge lie as absolute acutely about annihilation is accepting invested in the adventurous or in chump abutment (and a lot of of the accumulation is accepting pocketed by managers and investors and not accepting invested aback into the game). Advance in the adventurous was never an affair afore the addition of TH and there were absolute acceptable agreeable updates, and it's never an affair for added amateur either (you don't see them bloating their amateur with advancing and annihilative MTX), abnormally for a adventurous that comes at a exceptional $11 a ages cable (otherwise you'd accept if it was some freemium blazon of game), so it's acutely abstract and goes above accepting that Jagex were in actuality adage that in an advance to play and alter players into acceptance, and it's outrageously aweless to subscribers. It's aurora robbery.
Of course, MTX is accustomed and accustomed at this point in any avant-garde game, but Jagex has it in the affliction accompaniment in any adventurous I've anytime played as their acquisitiveness and levels of affairs out accept no bounds. There's convalescent MTX which a lot of amateur abandoned await on like different boutique cosmetics (which yield assets and accomplishment to architecture and even afresh they can still yield some accomplishment accolade amplitude out from the game), and afresh there's the affliction anatomy of it in beeline pay-to-win conveniences and (very OP) adventurous advantages which bandy abroad any candor the adventurous has, which Jagex uses. If we accredit to MTX, we usually beggarly the closing which is a absolute lazy, acquisitive and annihilative way to monetise a game, and it's even worse if it's put abaft gambling. Also, it's traveling to get abundant worse if adaptable releases and the accomplished adaptable activity was apprenticed by their admiration to capitalise on the adaptable bang market.
The assurance is absolutely gone as players can now see through Jagex and how about shady, backbiting and defective in candor they are. I've done the appropriate affair and quit. Unless they cut down on the atrocious bulk of ‘managers' they accept and business advisers designing those bloodthirsty mechanics (who get patted on the aback and answer the added money they can clasp out of the game) and OSRS gold instead appoint added devs, abolish TH, accomplish bonds abandoned be accessible on associates (rather than accommodating in MTX contest and gambling), the adventurous is traveling nowhere. Until we see any change in behaviour and accomplishments (only the start, they can't do one acceptable affair to mislead players into dupe them and boring go aback to their aforementioned old ways), and it has to be a alternation of big changes or cogent and desperate changes, annihilation is done.
