I, on the other hand, have been playing this game for 9 or 10 years, and I care deeply what happens to it. This update is disturbing because it has never been more clear that the people running Runescape don't care about their product. This update is just the first. The owners of Jagex will bleed this game dry until there is nothing left, then they will toss it aside and move on, because so many of their players are willfully ignorant and don't care what happens.
If you want to be frank, he disputed all of your points. And he made a genuine point on all of them.
Play time does not determine how much you care for a game, in fact I'd say those with less play time care more, as things have not yet occurred to them yet, but regardless.
You can't make an assumption that developers do not care for a game based off of a genuine content update. Let's not forget that six separate categories were released in order to gain spins, last I checked six > one.
I highly doubt Jagex will drain RuneScape dry, their biggest profit comes from RuneScape, and games such as StellarDawn have not even come close to being proven that it will be a success, so in the highly unlikely circumstance that they do dry out RuneScape, it won't be for many years.
You'd also be surprised at the number of people who actually put in the time and effort to this game, I doubt they are without care to what happens to the game.
