Why is this even posted on rpka ? <| sep |> np , your wallet thanks you <| sep |> Everytime amy schumer talks about her vagina , I fucking lose itSaid no one ever <| sep |> MTX is not killing RunescapeTrue . If what they tell us is true , MTX provides more resources to devs . It ' s literally helping Runescape grow , gameplay wise . That ' s even ignoring the fact that MTX simply powers it ' s self , that content makes it ' s way into the hands of plenty of paying and nonpaying customer ' s hands . Well this past week has been rife with people either lauding Jagex for their promotions , then with the release of the latest promotion people were back to their usual omg Jagex p 2 w y u do dis . Yeah . They praised the thing that they thought wasn ' t cancerous , then bitched about the thing that they thought was cancerous . That ' s normal . I think Muncle said it best almost 3 years ago , in the current state of RS isn ' t a competitive game unless fighting for top 100 s in ranks , which dates the comment I guess . Skills are competitive before the EXP amnesty stuff is lifted . Then it ' s not properly competitive anymore . The reality of the matter is that whales are what keeps the cost subsidized and Jagex as a thriving company . It ' s a big part of it , sure . With the safety net of OSRS and ironman they even catch a lot of the I hate MTX types that quit anyway . I personally have spent a total of around $ 1 k in the time MTX has been a part of the game . '' . . . Stop assuming the entire community is against it , I mean , that is a stupid assumption but usually is just hyperbole . I like to think anyway . I know there are some people that genuinely think that way , and those people are being idiotically stubborn . and stop complaining about it at this point . Not going to happen and shouldn ' t . People should express how they feel , and try to sway things to be the way they want things to be . Even if it gets annoying it ' s an important thing at the same time . People need to express their selves , and that feedback often does make a difference a difference that makes people very happy . They are ' not ' going to stop using these transactions as a way to keep the game free if you so choose and profit immensely on top of it . I mean , they clearly do give ground at times . Yeah MTX ' s not going to be gone . . . Uh . Ever , but they will give ground . Elite skilling outfits becoming in game content is directly due to people being really , really angry and expressing theirselves . And it ' s not just about keeping the game free for some . It ' s also profit and expansion , what ' s more is keeping the game free in terms of membership actually only makes them more money costs more IRL cash for those bonds to provide membership than if membership was simply bought straight up . Not sure if the same is for keys , but I ' d assume it is . As someone who has played now for 11 years , I ' ve seen a lot of changes to the game , a lot of truly gamechangingbreaking updates , and let me tell you folks , the rainbow promotion isn ' t the one that ' s gonna break the camel ' s back . For some it will be the straw that breaks the camel ' s back , but in a general sense ? Of course it won ' t be a huge deal . The thing is for a lot of people that camel ' s just getting more and more shit piled on it constantly , and it never seems to get better for very long .
