I second that, this game might not appeal to the players looking for old generic PvP, that's why most of those people left. But at the same time it does appeal to quite a lot of other players who are enjoying the game as it is now .

Ranting about it for several years won't do you any good, on the opposite you will look  a lot  more "kiddie"  like, then most of the population currently playing RuneScape which i presume you despise a whole lot more then i do .

The question is,

Why even play Runescape when there are better alternatives? The game has degraded to an extent that it wasn't the good old classic "stand out" game it was 5 years ago. It has degraded into a Junior MMORPG-WoW wannabee dumbed down MMORPG game. But of course, you MUST consider those who are living in 3rd world and newly industrialized country and those who are living on a tight budget. Without RS, what MMO game would THEY play?

 

When traveling across the vast emptiness of RuneScape please be aware the number of educated and articulate players with their moronic ramblings that you are bound to experience as demonstrated by these quotes:
 

" Yeh, so i was grinding with my homies then i finaly get 65def and im like AMg W00T!!!!111oneso i go to the Grand exchange to go buy some bandos armour and i type WTF so fast :o :o it was like wtf, wtf.It costed like 25m!!!!111 this is outrageous, pay for food pay for water pay for you're car pay for runescape pay for world of warcraft pay for sex now pay for armour?!?!?!?!?!

What better alternatives are you talking about? and how is runescape anything like wow?. Runescape community  is no where near as bad as people say sure starter f2p worlds are filled with immature kids but once you leave that area or better yet become member you will see that there's enough mature players around .
