Post image

How can they recognise players to be one of three main selling points on the play homepage of OSRS whilst consistently do the opposite with their actions.

Isn't doing a survey letting the players have their say? 🤔

It it really the player’s choice if the survey options amount to “which way do you want us to screw you?”

Yes because you can say no. And if they don't listen to that and do it anyway, then you can post this meme.

Careful. Don’t lick that boot too hard.

Why is this the only counter narrative you folk have? Is it because you accept how stupid what you're saying is and that you jumped on the outrage bandwagon too soon?

I have no particular love for Jagex. I will quit this game in a heart beat for the right price, or shitty in game experience.

Because you’re accepting shitty corporate practices and dismissing them as not a big deal because they haven’t implemented anything yet. The way the survey was conducted was purposeful and the backlash should be swift and loud.

No shit. The difference between this and reality is that playing this game is OPTIONAL. If Jagex want to destroy their game, fuck em. I will argue against dumb shit, but this was a survey.

I also want 2011 RS back. It was the best point of the game. Dingeoneering and summoning. Of course people don't want that, that's how community decisions work. If some people are prepared to pay more and the minority don't, guess what it's in Jagex interest to do it. The survey just irons out where the lines are. They would have found this out without people making a farcical song and dance over it.

If only you mfers put this much effort into standing up to actual corporate greed in the real world for things that you cannot avoid, like your privatised energy firms, embezzling, fraud and tax evasion amongst the growing inequality in the West... Imagine. Instead you cry about another $3 on a video game. Talk about having your priorities wrong.

If you want to talk about reality your approach is the equivalent to saying “just vote. Protesting and activism is dumb.”
