Why are osrs players so unsettling?
And why do they not consider bonds p2w?
if you like em or you're hunting for the soul yeah
Its because they're all 13 year old edgelords who wouldn't know a real combat system if it kicked their dog and ran over their mom
also pic related, its from a discord server im in
The majority of players who would really leave over mtx is long gone, so there is a diminishing returns effect on subscriber loss due to increased mtx. The mobile market has different purchasing habits than the traditional RS model accommodates, so it would be reasonable (from a business perspective) to adapt their monetization strategy for the new players. They might lose a little more of their original base, but that will be easily replaced by a new one that is more willing to spend money on mtx. They also won't stick around as long as the old base did, but that works out perfectly: if they stay for too long, they'll want new content. The optimal balance keeps them around long enough to purchase mtx products, but short enough to minimize the need for new content. This is the mtx end-game. The more money they make from mtx, the less they need to rely on game developers to entice new players and reduce churn. The whole "more money from mtx means more money for content" angle Jagex PR pushes has never been true because it fundamentally conflicts with the business model. Perhaps the game will eventually die as a result, but even after five years of mtx power creep, they've never been more successful.
They've already conditioned RS3 players to accept this, but they'll probably need to start slow on OSRS to minimize loss on that end. Bonds are a great foothold because they can say that mtx have already existed successfully in OSRS for two and a half years. It also helps that OSRS has been running for a while now and the core playerbase has invested many hours into their accounts; they will be less willing to quit. Ironman mode is also a great net that they've erected: older players who are finally fed up with the mtx will be encouraged to play this rather than completely quitting.
