Mod Wilson.. Are you serious..?

How does this even make sense?
You have the Solomons general store. You have the squeal of fortune.
But you claim you dont have a "graphical budget" which is high enough for an emote? Are you serious..?
Yet you have emotes available for purchase in Solomons Gen Store??
In other words, our continued membership does not entitle us to a emote or benefits, or even make the animators/mods consider for something better for the paying members.

lol, looks like SOF and bots are not generating enough gold for jagex :D
I can kind of understand this, they have done some pretty big graphical updates and all of that throughout the year. Like any company they can only do so much and their graphical team has done an awful lot…

The emotes (and costumes for that matter) have been bad recently anyway, imo at least.

Personaly I can not stand wasting my time for something that almost no one cares about. The christmas crackers were fun, the masks were fun, the santa hats were fun, but then it turns into this big drawn out waste to get something that just takes up bank space and can not be shared.
Guess its time to go dig up my talking head…
I like the Bat Emote :)
Also the Cobweb Cape from a few years back was nice.
I also like my snow globe that they had a few years ago. I use it every now and again to get an inventory full on snowballs to chuck at people that get 99's or sometimes people doing slayer. Or maybe the random hotshot talking smack when leveling I'll chunk a few snowballs at.
It would be nice if they got an emote like the Michael Jackson dance from the thriller. :p
Wasn't there the puppet master emote??
Yes thee was can't remember what year it was from though. Is it not there anymore?

Then if they have a tight budget, maybe they would think twice before doing a mass ban now..just saying..

I don't understand why you people just don't get it. RUNESCAPE is now owned by an INVESTMENT FIRM. THEY DON'T AND WILL NEVER CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MONEY NOW. An investment firm's job isn't to make some kids happy with a game, it's to make as much money as they can, as fast as they can.

:(. Still an investment firm understands that killing the game will make profits go down, so maybe they just want to only have a playerbase that regularly purchases spins and runecoins :(

It's because, back in the day (08-12 lol) I used to play legit. I would have hated what jagex is doing to the game then, so I don't like it now. I also play legit occaisionally for fun.

Very few people make me mad with their retarded logic. You have succeeded.

What is most disturbing about this is what is not being said: Non profitable updates such as this Halloween event are being given limited/shrinking resources.

They also stated in one of their vids that money from solomon + squeal are being saved and invested into things to ensure the lifetime of the game. I believe them on this, its gonna take a lot of cash to keep this running for another 10 years or so. So don't say they have all this extra cash from them.

I only started botting when I signed up to SRL I never knew how to use a bot before that and I started first playing in 2004, I played for lets say 2 years straight? Then came on and off because gave my account to my sister who then made her own, but other than that only reason I came back to RS was because I just get a kick out of cheating :bart:

I played legit up to 2011 :)
It's sad to see RS going down the money maximising ways but it makes sense if it wants to survive

Ah well, the holiday events have always been kinda bad, an emote that I use once to see what it looks like then never use again. Still I would of preferred a emote to costume though. No one wears holidays items these days. =/

I agree.
The graphix have improved a lot, and to everybody's benefits, not just payers.

How interesting, seems like that made up some bogus excuse to not make an emote. Oh well, I never use emotes anyways Gajex!!!!!!!!!
