All well and great. But it's the combination of selling spins for real world cash and offering lamp lamps for skill as a standard prize that's the problem. It's also frustrating that there is so much hypocrisy. Jagex shouts bloody murder at those who participate in RWT. However, they have their own RWT strategy.
Yes, I read the OP. However, I did add another slant while answering the question. If this list of bullet points was accurate, would you agree that the SoF should be shut down or replaced? Jagex is working against (at most) 3 strikes within a highly competitive industry. A game that is older than 10 years that is constantly updated and changed throughout the years.
Runescape is regarded as an "starter MMORPG for kids" by many gamers. As stated in point 1 regular updates and maintenance in the course of time disprove this notion. This gives the game more depth and quality than rumours and many will not even bother to look at it based on what they have heard/read.
A poor marketing strategy. Jagex/Insight Ventures still depend mainly upon web-based advertising & wordof mouth. There are exceptions, such as the gamer award & occasionally, TV advertisements in a few countries. These are a way to bring Jagex/Insight Ventures to the attention and awareness of those who otherwise would not be aware.
