Squeal of Fortune – Extra Spins

Maybe you don't care if the next guy in line pays for a quick boost, but it completely destroys the competitive aspect of the game where you try to improve yourself in relation to other players and climb the highscores. Just like the removal of f2p highscores killed the game for many of those players, the members game suffers when you cheapen their highscores by allowing people to climb up by paying for it rather than playing the game.

I agree strongly with Dave on the above.

I am also angry at Jagex for the following reason that I posted on the RS forums:

******* If you changed effigies so that people couldn't train skills (solely) via other (faster) methods, why did you do the complete opposite with this by re-creating that same problem? At least with effigies you *actually* had to play the game.. look at this guy for example: http://runetracker.org/track-whyplaygames,21,0 (1.8M rc xp gained in a few hours for no real ingame activity, just RL money via SoF) *********

I also find it frustrating that they claim this is not gambling. Yes it may not be gambling based on their definition, but it IS a form of gambling as it is luck based. It is also the sort of thing that very easily creates temptation to keep doing it over and over again, in hope of getting a specific reward, and I think this is an extremely unfair thing to use to their advantage, and something that must have been realised during the whole planning of this.
