*snip large quote chain*
The fact still remains the we are discussing THIS update, not what Jagex could/might do in the future. There may be no true benefit to the overall game but there is no true negative brought to the game as a whole either. This update brings in only a minor harm in the form of people who want to spend exceptionally large sums on money on a game gaining a significant advantage. It won't make things obsolete to do, only less "efficient." The percentage of people who will spend enough to notice any decent sized benefit (several hundred to a couple thousand dollars) is minute, therefore the difference will go largely unnoticed.
