Btw, executive research surveys cost about 300k usd. So they blew thousands of players memebership on this garbage

[amorty]

I'm shocked that they would entertain the thought of some of these changes! They can say these aren't planned changes all they like, but the fact that they weren't concerned about telling us it's something they're considering is very worrisome

[OnlyOneOnlyTV]

Their logic is:
''These are 30+ year old incel addicts. They will pay''.

I am a new player and love this game but I am already looking for something else because of these news.

There is a massive issue with the special worlds. If I understand it correctly they would largely eliminate source scarcity and make the wilderness safe if you pay for it.
This is hardly removed from microtransactions anymore and gives clear gameplay advantages.

[DIVAD]

I don't agree with the whole "the people you are interacting with aren't the ones responsible for it so be nice..." idea for the simple reason that this essentially turns those people into an invisble and easily exploitable shield for the people who are responsible for it.

If you want to actually hurt the people responsible for it, making working for them harder actually gives more leverage to the "good" people in the long term because other people will be less willing to replace them.

[frankpot]

this whole situation really just seems like they were poking the hornets nest on purpose to see how big the outrage is.
all to figure out what shitty stuff they can get away with to squeeze money from our community.
i hate corporate greed.

Lemme just say Travag, you're a fucking g

[KeytarArgonian]

‘We are just asking what your preferences are…. Teehee’

What? For paywalling Runelite, non ads and account security?!

[JacobFrisby]

Love your videos and insights on OSRS. Please keep it up!

[ElitBlaze]

Mod Pip was at the helm when Squeal of Fortune existed. He should be fired immediately.

[Desperado]

Mainly RS3 has this thing that you can lookup expierence gains and money gains on a seperated website.
They have this hidden behind a paywall but the problem is RS3 has been dying faster than ever expected.
Playerbase RS3: a peak of 131k but normally that is around 25 - 60K players daily.
Playerbase OSRS: peak of 1.13M but normally that is around 200-500k daily.
They both on a peak right now because of the time of the year but 50k vs 400k players is a big difference.
They will let RS3 die out and pay full attention to OSRS for the upcomming future.
Old devs from RS3 already quit the RS3 team and joined OSRS...
They just finding new ways of making up for that microtransaction they got in RS3 for OSRS.
Bonds don't make nearly as much as one single whale spend on hes ingame looks in RS3.

There is 0 reason apart from greed to limit access to a platform I really cannot see how you could colour that in anything but red.
Subscriptions should be affordable no matter the device you play on.

I've played since 2002 and quit when RS3 came out. When oldschool was announced and was primarily based on player feedback and a direct "relationship" with Jagex, I was happy. But, they are losing their way again like all companies that get bought out and focus on milking the player base. The fact they are offering basic features that should have be implemented since the games early inception is pathetic. They want us to be happy? Vote with your wallets people and do not forget where they want to go because the company won't change in the long run.

[Billionfld]

I love your insight, .I appreciate it. I have also cancelled my membership.

[Shrekaconda]

Free to play need to be enhanced not limited. It now has an afk timer of no more than 10 seconds, you have an exp cap, you have ads you have a minimum of 3 teleports a day, you have 8 locked inventory spaces. It can't get much worse! My brother wanted to start playing and just made it to lvl 20 in ftp, now he will never get a bond because he is completely dettered! It's not like it was ever practical or possible for ftp. Just turn away every new player. Well done.

[stevecassata]

I appreciate you posting this. Thanks for the explanation as well, I was reading some things on reddit but this video really clears things up. I hope when these changes get pushed, we the players have the power to fight back.

[chrismurphy]

Garbage like this is why I won't purchase membership again.

[Dr.Wzard]

You're one of the best osrs commentary channels for sure man, this was a very thorough breakdown appreciate it

[xiJonox]

I've already seen different pricing on RS3 I have a screenshot of them showing me a price for something for one price then later that day it was another price.. my friend also had an even cheaper price come up which I never got him to screenshot cause its what made me think to screenshot it after in the first place, I also sent them an email asking them wtf that is about, considering he literally lives in my street so why the fuck are our prices different.

[KeytarArgonian]

Isn’t having separate pricing structures while being on an App Store a major problem? Pretty sure that’s a big no no. Would mean leaving the app stores right?
