Jagex has lied multiple times, so I don't have a reason to believe them. It was a band-aid solution, because Jagex never banned the Gold Buyers themselves, up until very recently due to the Duel Arena fiasco. Which again, took years to actually address and for a lot of creators to spotlight that issue. Hackers and bots can use fraudulent credit cards through hacked accounts to buy bonds, to sell bonds to get players'/bot labor gold. The point of it being a gold sink doesn't work and you can't get 'free membership', due to fact it requires labor for another player or a bot. Overall it doesn't benefit the game at all, it was just means to profit and band-aid solution to an open pipe flow. Perhaps even worse, with that mentioned fraudulent credit card bond purchases, which they can give their bot farms, actually for 'free', membership.

Ahhh, good ol Flute Salad. A man of culture.

Cant believe a game iv played on and off since 2007 is pretty much coming to an end.

I've recently found a hobby in valuing businesses and looking at company trends. I've seen an alarming trend where so-called "enshitification" ensues when private equity gets involved. If I recall correctly, Jagex is owned by a private equity firm. This would well explain layoffs and other cost-cutting measures as well as the "by any means necessary" to raise capital. This isn't Jagex's own will, but that of the firm that owns it. The PEF just wants to milk it for what it's worth and sell it to the next person, even if the product, in this case the game, has been milked dry. It happens with something as simple as a grocery store, and something as innovative as a tech startup. DISCLAIMER: I am not a business analyst, nor do I want to be. It's just something I do for fun.

I bought a few treasure hunter keys back in 2017-2018 during a promotion or two and haven’t bought any since. I don’t regret it. Historically I always quit RuneScape because I’m putting in more time that I healthily should not less. I was in the mid game at the time and it really got me the much needed boost to do more fun quests and content and ultimately unlock priff and eventually the quest cape before that summer ended. You get your first job out of school and it’s easy to spend money like that. I had to put a stop to it when a third promotion came through and I realized I was tempted to buy it and if I did I would have spent more on keys than membership that year. I enjoy my RS3 account for maxscape and afk - and I still heavy utilize the free treasure hunter keys to get me there. But these days I often miss the grind and how everything used to be earned in RuneScape. I’ve gotten lucky with crypto and do well in my tech job so I can reasonably retire within 5 years so I’m looking forward to play OSRS more.

This LOL in the final is making me laugh :) And thx for your video.

Just wanna say, I am a rs3 player. I have gained 5,400 treasure hunter keys by doing runescapes "earn keys" offers. Offers like spend $80 on this 50% off manscaped deal and get 1,200 keys. Yes $80 for 1,200 keys. Other offers that cost $5 for 300+ keys. I have gained over 2 billion gp from treasure hunter using these keys and over 80m xp. I know that I am not playing "correctly" but life has been so busy I rarely get to play. My goal with these keys is to get my account to end game asap so I can get into bossing and easily complete quests, challenges, etc. Love you protoxx

Something very minor that was only briefly available after release of Bonds, was that players could get physical merch from their store using them. I picked up a t-shirt using this by snagging myself a/some (I forget the cost conversion) bonds from the GE at the time. Still have it as well. Think it kinda slipped off of most people's radar as I have heard nothing of it since.

The only one ive been negatively impacted by have been oddment nerfs. I used to be able to consistently earn at least 10 keys (2 from mems, 3 from challenges, and 5 from oddments store) during most of the year. They changed oddment payouts, now when you get something like a 7x prize in TH you can only convert the base prize to oddments, so no 7x oddments. That alone used to keep my oddment useage afloat, along with key sales in the oddment store. Now i use my oddments whenever i have enough to be able to buy another key, i have NEVER won one of those expensive TH override tokens or rares (like the assassins walk override), only "lucky" versions of ~t70 armour (also lucky chaotic weapons). The prizes dont feel balanced even for someone who consistently uses and once in a while splurges on buying keys. The ONLY consistent reward from TH are stars and xp lamps, and even then i feel like recent promotions have been giving less bxp and more xp lamps themselves. Maybe im imagining things?

bank boosters should definitely be bought with gp and or unlocks with achievement diaries. Crazy how pricey they are.

Currently on OSRS for the same amount of space it cost about 1/3 as much as it does on RS3 for same about of expansions,9, or about the same for the same about of spaces(and IIRC the ratio of RS3 to OSRS gold is much higher than that. Like 12:1 or 10:1 RS3 to OSRS. Don't know gp earning rates for the average player though on OSRS.

Having lived through all this shit, the biggest thing I learned was their revenue charts from the past couple years. So you're telling me that they made over 3x more money in subscriptions in 2022 than they did off of MTX. On top of that, they didn't even need the money from MTX to push their numbers over 100m that year? Why the fuck has the RS3 community been pushed into so many breaking points over this!? I've literally went full on OSRS since Hero Pass, and have just now started thinking about playing some content with IRL friends to spend more time with them. (Especially with the lvl110 updates coming.) And you're telling me the very thing that's pissed me off in the game I've been playing for over 20 years now doesn't even make them that much money comparatively!?

Talking about the nerfs to TH specifically its all a move to make people purchase more spins. First action was lower oddments for converting, no extra for multiplies converted, able to buy 15 oddment keys per day. We've seen far more TH promos for sets that require x amount of keys often about 250keys. This is to drain players oddments so they can't keep buying oddment keys especially for xmas time with temptations long before then, probably some at halloween. Unstable proteans replaced regular on TH and at the time I guessed they'd just bring back blues for DXP so people swipe to get some to train skills. Seems thats true. Slayer wild cards also got the nerf. The ones we first had can be used on anything thats a slayer target and gives full xp for being used now replaced with limited specific slayer wild cards also giving less xp. Both still give on rate drops and like proteans this item is back on TH for the Time to train promo. Blue proteans and slayer wild cards won't be gone altogether they'll just be given as rewards in other places or used in TH promos in a limited setting like Time to train. Dummies probably next on the chopping block. If its like the proteans they'll be used faster and give % more xp but won't work on dxp probs.

Damn Protox just going all in on not trusting Jagex 😂😂 ay respect

Whats crazy is that its zero part of my rs3 playing!

the oddments not scaling with multipliers anymore is the biggest scam they did so far

Never bought a key or bond with real cash (to me it feels like unsatisfying and cheating to buy gold, rather achieve the wealth myself). Of course I’ve paid for membership on and off for years but am looking to end that by EOM and go on a Bond grinding journey.

ill be honest i have bought keys before but it was last year ? i think during the sale of jagex and they wanted to pump their numbers up so they did 400 keys for 20$ on mobile

We started down the slippery MTX slope and landed at the bottom wondering what the hell happened. How is RS3 monetized? All the ways! At this point, the only one I still support is bonds.

I watched another video previously and basically they had to start selling bonds and putting in MTX to sort out the RWT problem. As many people know, credit card companies were threatening to not support jagex and Runescape through membership payments anymore due to people complaining about getting their money stolen-due to RWT, so Jagex removed the wilderness and free trade at the cost of upset to the players, but then brought it back. They then had to make a decision of let RWT's kill the game, or bring in MTX. I think they were backed into a corner and had to make hard decisions, but from then it has spiraled into a very predatory MTX system.

POE has the best mtx with out negatively effecting game plat. Maybe jagex should talk to them on how it's done

The issue is until there is a massive improvement in compute and data centers/ server meshing it is just to expensive to Host a MMO. Jagex may have a large amount of revenue but if you were to remove MTX it sadly wouldnt be economically viable. Jagex makes a profit but honestly without MTX RS3 would not be profitable to run only OSRS would be.

Jagex could make some freaking bank if they did a player model update visual combat animation overhaul. instead of that dumb combat rework witch was nice but didnt make them any money

RuneScape 3's biggest plague. Not OSRS.

Why are bonds this high now? Can you make a video about it? It used to be about what you make on the top end PvM per hour, doesn't seem like it is now. I'm also thinking of poor Timmy the Peasant mining 60 hours for a bond. Can you still pay for it with dailies?

Now thats old school rs, when the bond cost 999b i Will stop playing rs3 i been playing since 2003🎉

My acc got hacked when I quit and had a shed ton of jcoins I needed to buy to unlock it... Think I paid nearly $200 to unlock my account, was ridiculous. Should have just quit back then.

I haven't played in nearly 4 months now and I'm not sure I'm ever going back. Which is a shame as I do love the game. I might just stick with OSRS or I might just quit entirely, I'm not sure yet. MTX is only a small part of my reason, but it is a part.

might need to make a hard cap on bond prices or have gold traded through the system rather than player trading and inflating the price so high people are forced to buy the bonds at a cheaper rate of irl money rather than grind out for months in f2p just for 2 weeks membership and try to maintain the bond with low stats and mainly LOW TIER GEAR because THE HIGHER TIER GEAR ARE MORE THAN THE BONDS ARE WORTH ON GE. You have to think of some SKILLER WAYS RATHER THAN BOSSING. Archeology (digsite stuff at anacronia sites), Invention (mainly high alch machine), and necromancy (rituals and shit for plasm) are good and all but the time balance isn't worth it at mid-tier.

The economy would be so much better if they simply removed GP from TH, It completely counteracts all gold sinks

I used keys to train many skills I dislike, like Combat (dummies) and Dungeoneering (now 101). Also I trained 111 slayer with mostly dummies 🙂 I bought keys like 4-5 x but only because I didn't have time to play. These days I refuse to buy keys. I rather "grind to earn"

130m lmfao holy fucking shit

99% of the people that are complaining about mtx are guilty of contributing to why jagex uses it. Communicate with your dollars and your time, not with your words. Your words mean literally nothing.
