Jagex, you've justified RuneScape's terrible reputation. You are an embarassment of a company and a failure to your community.

You are an embarassment of a company and a failure to your community.

Does this not seem a bit OTT? They've kept the game up for nearly 18 years and delivered weekly updates. All through multiple acquisitions and so on; Jagex could have shut up shop long ago, as RuneScape could have too.

I'm not saying they are perfect by any means, I'm as disappointed as you are regarding the updates this year.. but this just seems abusive. I also don't know why there is no skill or integrity in RS, can you pay to become better at PVM? Sure, you can pay to buy weapons, but the weapon does not make the man. You still have to go through learning curves, and as far as i'm aware combat is the only thing that has ever required skill in this game.

Skilling in a competitive sense largely became irrelevant when people maxed their accounts 10 years ago. MTX has just shut it down further, but so have things like the playerbases' own demand for QoL updates, double exp weekends etc.

You say

We want you to dial it the fuck back, and give this game a sense of integrity again.

Then

The damage is quite simply already done.
