Let's look at it from a practical standpoint.
If you look at the minimum levels to be ranked on the hiscores, we see a mere 2 skills that are able to be ranked in f2p at level 30. Now let's face it, those are probably the two hardest skills in f2p. And the minimum xp needed to make the Hiscores is around 675,000. This equates to around 35 in all skill levels, of which a large chunk of f2p goers do not have. There are some out there that do have that though, no disputing from me here.
If a majority of f2p users cared enough about the hiscores or cared enough to be ranked, they would want to even the playing field with more skills right? It seems only logical to be competitive you have to be even.
If Jagex feels that the hiscores bring in little use from f2p players, then it will remain a members area. But I feel as though Jagex are right by clearing up f2p accounts that just sit there and hang out with their E-boy/girl-friend instead of a new person whom is members trying to make it to the top 1000.
If it doesn't effect f2p gameplay, and it doesn't affect how they go on with their days, is it really such a big concern?
I'll be open minded in this debate, I've just yet to see some hard compelling evidence to persuade my thoughts.
