What you are RS3 gold saying is definitely true. By 2017 to 2018 (the latest publicly available numbers) MTX revenue dropped. Yes, and that is why they’ve been moving towards attempting to tie in certain permanent improvement with every one of those MTX events – so that they are not just short-term gains but that they do lend some permanent value to the game – beginning with the graphical rework of the Dwarven Mine. Not so well-executed this time, but I think we could all agree that it is a step in the right direction.

This is more personal opinion, but I also somewhat disagree with the labeling of those events as rigorously”MTX events”. I have been engaging with this Artisan event without spending a dime and that I rather enjoy it. Provided that the option is there to finish everything without losing cash, I don’t see why it ought to be shunned. It provides some nice short-term aims to work towards with an adequate reward.

Yak trak is just one more form of monetisation ontop of what is in the game already. That is why it ties to the game, they found battlepasses do well and knew it’d be a good way to market gold premier. More MTX articles will cause a mass unsubbing of players who do not actively fork out cash for MTX content. It needs to be MTX content + normal content released at the exact same rate and as it stands there’s certainly going to go worse if all we get are less regular updates. Pretty much many players saw last year as a dud, in most reality desperate steps should have been published with anachronia. Jagex is poorly managing their employees or doesn’t have enough to cater to normal subscribers.

It’s still an MTX event however. It’s intentionally designed to get you to invest in directly on it. It is fine as articles, sure, but when the actual, fantastic content is being postponed, it bites. It’s also kind of content that is empty in general. They just added some items you can craft which largely are lame, and its addition to other material.

OSRS requires less to develop

Can we return to it having an indie dimension studio? I mean we hand over our cash every month. Why would they change their methods? How do you know if an MTX voucher was postponed? A number of them aren’t announced in advance. Well we receive one every week and that’s how it’s been for a long time. They haven’t missed a week has been what I meant. They haven’t missed a week since the promotions take next to no work?

No I am not attempting to directly assess the period investments of these. Remember when we were told gwd3 would come summer 2020, then summertime 2020 comes and jagex is buy RuneScape gold like”oh we’ve just started development on gwd3″ that is a problem.
