Microtransactions like Treasure Hunter are suffocating RuneScape. Selling in game advantages is all part of the routine for investors, but the damage being done to the game in the long term is detrimental. Existing players are quitting the game due to it, making an ever decreasing circle where players leave and more microtransactions are added to replace them.

We want the removal of microtransactions that provide advantages for real world money. Specifically, Treasure Hunter and any future variations or re skins. For example, Treasure Hunter was a re skin of the Squeal of Fortune. When players called for the removal of the Squeal of Fortune it was just replaced with the same thing under a different name and appearance. We do not want players to be able to buy benefits other than membership or purely cosmetic items.

Make previously added microtransaction content such as silverhawk boots, skilling outfits, ethereal and golem outfits (as well as other MTX content) obtainable through gameplay like minigames. This is so the items are obtainable to players through actually playing the game - reviving content and meaning that items do not need to be refunded or randomly deleted if the player already has them.

If this petition is successful then OldSchool RuneScape will be promised freedom from future microtransactions. The main RuneScape game will have the immediate removal of Treasure Hunter, as well as being free from future microtransactions.

If this petition is not successful and if this matter is not resolved, I will boycott all future microtransactions, cancel membership on Jagex products, and look towards a future with a games company that is heading in a better direction - one where the investors don't decide to run the game and community into the ground.

Thank you all for your continued support, and although I doubt this will be successful, it is worth a try. If there's going to be a future for our game, we need to fight for it.
