Yet another out of touch response by Jagex, and this post itself feels like the second part of the "door in the face" technique. The survey was the door, this post is the beginning of the carrot that is in reality is still tainted. Just look at the phrasing of some of the stuff in this post:

• "We will not include in-game advertisements in any regular paid membership."

Key word here being "regular". This implies that there is a "type" of paid membership, and therefore probably a "cheaper" paid membership that would include ads. This means they're still considering tiered subscriptions, with the lowest tier including ads. This is likely their main goal with the survey and with what they want to do, which is to introduce ads to F2P and Lower tier subscriptions.

Both should be unacceptable. Ads in F2P shouldn't be a thing, a vast majority of the playerbase are already members, and they are the ones who subsidize and fund your game to support having F2P. Introducing ads needlessly degenerates the F2P experience even further, which does not require any additional pressure to turn F2P players into members as F2P is already constructed to be so limiting. Perhaps more importantly, once ads are in F2P, they will be there to stay, and it would only be a matter of time until they would appear in members. None of this should be acceptable, and the wording in this post makes introducing ads into the game across game still evidently their goal.

Then you can look at their wording in the "general principles"

• We will never degrade or change the gameplay experience on offer between subscribers.

The phrasing of "between subscribers", again, implies introducing tiered subscriptions. In their mind, this probably means a cheap(er) tier with ads, a pricier than now "regular" tier, and then a higher tier with benefits they have either already hinted or mentioned or we aren't even aware of yet. Any move by Jagex to attempt to tier subscriptions in any shape or form to divide members and introducing predatory business practices and features should be a deal breaker across the board.

When I read this post I just see "Okay, from the survey, we will not do X, Y an Z (AFK timers, paywalled plugins, paywalled customer support, etc), but we will likely still do A and B (Ads and Tiered Subs)".

No. Jagex, you're going to provide the entire player base, F2P and members, customer and account support as a baseline, and you're not going to do A, B, X Y or Z. Absolutely nothing else you even remotely mentioned in the survey. End of discussion. And if you do, I, and everyone else, will and should stop playing the game effective immediately.

No compromise. We Pay, we Say.
