[2019] Jagex, please be aware that if you pick and choose questions that you asked for about MTX that are easy to answer vaguely and diplomatically without addressing questions regarding ethics and simple figures, we will remain outraged.

Jagex is finally taking an opportunity to publicly address MTX problems.

Recently, they had a post on this reddit asking for some of the questions we as a community want addressed in this fashion.

We need to absolutely watch out for them using this as an opportunity to pick and choose questions that are A) So open ended that they cannot/will not give a concise and meaningful answer, or B) Vague enough in concept that they can "American-Politician" it and completely de-rail the question until the next one is asked

We need to be asking concise, simple questions that have concise, simple answers. (What is the salary figure for your MTX staff? What is the official paradigm on why MTX is okay within Jagex? etc.)

Do not give them a chance to do something like "Q: How do you plan on addressing MTX; A: "We plan on taking meaningful steps that keep the community in consideration and result in everyone having a good time"

The above example is NOT an answer. Please be ready for this.

Agree with the concept, 100%.

Completely disagree with your example questions lol.

For the first one: salary figures are none of our business, nor is revenue model. Those salary figures belong to human individuals who probably do not want them released publicly, and Jagex are still a business with competitors who they will not want to be leaking their business model to.

Why is MTX okay is simple: it makes money. It's also the industry standard for games now.

Reasonable specific questions could include:
1) Would Jagex consider moving to solely cosmetic and client (e.g wealth evaluator) MTX?
2) Would Jagex consider removing membership fees for RS3 if they plan to commit to P2W MTX (therefore becoming a freemium game)?

3) What do Jagex see as the core differences between RS3 and OSRS that lead to different business models in each? What elements of these, if any, do Jagex think they can take from OS and implement into RS3 to lessen reliance on MTX sales?

4) I cba to type formal questions anymore, but something related to the drop in playerbase numbers and remedies for that.

love these questions, thanks for sharing.
