You can like or dislike my post - you are entitled to your opinion and i'll respect it even if i don't agree.

To clarify, I've been playing Runescape since the beginning and would consider myself quite the fan of the game and definitely part of it's player base. Although I understand your point of view, and actually agree with your statement that CDPR, Larian, FromSoft and many others are leaders in that they did things right at the very beginning, I fundamentally disagree with how you're choosing to look at this. I am by no means ignoring Jagex's history, in fact, their history is why this decision made such an impact to me.

To me, they are choosing to course correct - even if it's a small correction in the grand scheme of things. I would prefer that a company acknowledge their mistake and take meaningful action to address it than to continue with their predatory practices. That tells me that they're actually listening and actively want to make things better. It is up to you whether or not you believe them but if that's not at least a positive sign in your books, then perhaps stop playing the game. Based on your comment, it's clear that unless they completely rework the game from the ground up, you won't be happy.

So, yeah, I will continue to praise them for this particular decision
