With the new TOC changes I'm afraid that someone gets on my account and
buys 1000€ worth of SoF spins. Even though I keep my account secure I'm
afraid. What if Jagex's customer support can't help me in time to stop
the hijacker from spending my money or if I am away for a few days?

I'm
scared of the future. Buying xp without SoF spinning? Buying gold?
Buying overpowered weapons and armour? Buying accounts? With real cash
of course.

I don't think its right that people can just buy their way through and get large amount of exp with real life status.

Instead of buyable xp or gold or items you should sell cosmetic items, titles, clothes, hairstyles or maybe bank space. Allowing players to pay to win only devalues
achievements other people have done.

Passed it along, thanks for posting der

This was my post

based on www.develop-online.net/news/40387/Runescape-begins-first-microtransaction-experiment being a reliable source.

"Rob Smith, an executive at Jagex, last week said
that a gentle introduction of virtual item sales over time “could
possibly be introduced, providing our audience is happy with it”."

With
the last part, "possibly be introduced, providing our audience is happy
with it" mean, That if the player base is against the SoF RWT'ing,
Jagex or should i say, Insight Venture Partners will discontinue
pursuing the sale of Virtual items?

From the Reaction on
Recent updates, Here on the CL Forums, And many other places, It's a
clear indication that the Vast Majority of players are against the idea
of buying Virtual Items for real world money, That the entire plan of
real world sales for virtual items will now be scrapped?

Runescape
is a game that in all honesty, Isn't the best out there, It isn't the
most advanced, And it has it's fair share of problems, But the fact they
Used to care about the player base, valued our feedback and
achievements and allowed us to game how we saw fit (within the rules)
was a massive attraction, I wasn't forced to buy membership, I was a
player, Not a £ sign. Until now.

The quote from MMG about real
life status shouldn't have an impact in game, Well it's no longer valid.
If you're able to spend stupid amounts of money on runescape spins and
soon Items, and you choose too, Then you're given a select group a
massive advantage.
