discussion [Update #2] Squeal of Fortune - When you thought it couldn't get much worse...

Probably one of the most controversial updates so far is the new update to Squeal of Fortune. The concept that you can buy spins means different things to different people. From what I've seen is



My opinion on the subject:

Now the first two are debatable either way, but I do see a problem with the last one. This game has a huge marketshare among teenagers; and most people started playing it around that age.

The maturity level for kids of that age as a whole isn't deemed high enough by most countries to be able to gamble legally. So why should JaGex be able to do it?

Other issues:

The biggest issue I see now with the system is how it is set-up. JaGex has it set up currently that you can save your credit card information. I may be wrong on this; but if your account is hacked that means that they could in fact affect your RuneScape bank account, but your Real Life one too.

Secondly, will JaGex create other content similar to this? Before all bought items (items such as the Katana which was obtained when buying membership) were basically cosmetic.

I agree with that though. Mods break rules all the time, like when they're in the wilderness and people following them get PK'ed so they protect all of their items.

This isn't 4chan you don't greentext on here. That'd be like going on there and putting Post Number and calling them a newfag/newfriend/what the *bleep* ever for not knowing what you're doing.

That is one downside of using a credit card online; you need to be aware that at any given point the site may be hacked. I make it a point to use a credit card with a low spending limit if I pay for games online or order something online likes shoes and such. Though I may be out $100 it's still better than using your debit card or something linked to your actual bank account.

On topic though, I do believe JaGex has made a nice turn for it through Sizzlin' Summer.

Though it is true that you are still able to get xp lamps, many of the item slots are now filled with cosmetic items, costumes, emotes, and things of that matter. This gives you a little spice in your spins but not too overpowered. I feel like I get less xp lamps than I used to also.

That's not exp though.

This thread is getting less and less about the actual content. If this continues I'm just going to lock the thread. Keep it on topic please
