Member only hiscores

This simply just another money making scheme from JaGeX.

I read their FAQ that they did about this on the RSOF.

Someone asked how their F2P friend could compete with them (as he was a member and apparently they had pretty close levels), and the J Mod doing the FAQ simply said "Your friend will have to subscribe to members to enjoy all the benefits you do".

Clearly shows how it's all about money now than the game experience and quality.

They're essentially ripping out a part of F2P that has been there since Highscores began.

And why should they support the f2p game in the same way they support a members game?

F2P brings in little revenue from advertisements, while members brings in more than 60% of revenue. The less Jagex cares about f2p game the more money they can make. Now I know you might counter this arguement and say "It is all about the money." But as a gaming company who's intent is to make profit and create jobs for people to live by is and was it ever for the players?
