Squeal of Fortune – Extra Spins

I explained previously the negative effects this will have and the ways it hurts the game in the long run, and in fact you haven't disputed a single one of my points. You simply say you don't care.

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.

The only negative effects you pointed out were the "removal" of competitive aspect, which isn't a universal negative as people don't all play this game to compete, the fact that the game "stagnates" for a week, even though there have been off weeks throughout the entire existence of RS, and the fact that Jagex is making money off this, which as a business is their purpose.

And I never said I didn't care at all about it (I've been playing for 8 years, though I don't see what length of playtime has to do with anything), I said the way I personally play this game is unaffected by someone buying a few SOF spins. Call me "ignorant" if you will that I don't see the fact that there are minor microtransactions now a bad thing, but as of right now I don't see Jagex bleeding anything dry yet.

IF (and that's a big if) Jagex continues introducing larger microtransactions and bigger in-game advantages for money, then I'll start being worried, but to be frank I just don't see why this update is the one to make everyone scream that RS is going to die, when people have said it about so many other larger updates before.
