It could potentially be a route for them to wriggle out of what is"discussed" or floated depending on the format. However, my cynicism, while RS gold created from from experience, doesn't alter the fact that I actually wish for the very best and am prepared to adopt good thoughts. Hopefully I'm wrong on all counts in my very first two paragraphs and we can proceed from simply protesting and nay-saying to compelling Jagex to begin implementing (or maintaining) facets of progress that they themselves have floated as plausible. I am sure this won't be an ending of things but actual progress, however small it seems contrary to the background, is always something precious.

Realistically, Jagex need MTX. However, I agree with ensuring that when questions are asked by you, your questions are precise. MTX is a reality of runescape, and isn't likely to be eliminated. This does not mean the runescape players can't shape the presence of MTX in runescape. Runescape players could be as imaginative to come up with ways to make MTX a better experience, that doesn't detract from runescape. 1 example might be MTX being cosmetic concentrated, so there is less effect on xp rates and you play runescape.

Virtually all of the popular MMORPGS both new and classical ones which have set up a variant have an extremely clear benefit that RS3 does not have, the are Freemium. F2P on RS is not that appealing and you will be hard pressed to convince the majority of mobile runescape players to shell out money to get a sub fee monthly just to use lamps/stars once the objective of mobile games nowadays is to entice whales which will spend big bucks for advantage. Not to mention the tick is just a turn off compared to many action packed real time combat these days in MMORPG.

RS is the main site for every one of RuneScape, so the total runescape player count there encompasses RS3 + OSRS (and formerly + RS Classic before it closed down). Old School has its own homepage, which means you can find the amount of runescape players online. If you would like to understand the number of runescape players online you need to subtract the OSRS complete from the total displayed on the main page since there. So, if there is 98,000 runescape players displayed on the page, and 70,000 runescape players on OSRS to buy RuneScape Mobile gold, that means there is 28,000 runescape players online for RS3. Because that is how it was 14, the counter is obsolete. Jagex would need to bring a counter that is fresh to address the misleading runescape player count issue.
