TOTALLY TRUE MAN!! There's a F*tty in the community making videos defending every wrong decision that jagex makes and it's so hypocrite. Respect for the true players and content creators as Protoxx
Surveys raising membership prices to offset removing treasure hunter Raises membership prices Has 4 FOMO items scattered across a single Christmas-themed Treasure Hunter promo
Instead of telling you to grow up and not care about MTX, I'll be that one comment to say that we appreciate the concern you have for the community. Happy holidays my guy
Crazy to think it was a couple months ago we were talking about removing MTX forever and now MTX go BRRRRRRRR. If we wanted to cope we could see this as Jagex last hurrah of cashing out on the player base before they DO remove MTX and just increase membership again.
That was never ever said. Why would a company remove MTX and crater there profits. They've been "cashing out" according to players for many many years lol.
Respect for actually speaking up on this. Apathy to MTX is what is allowing it to happen, the few of us that are vocal get called toxic, and to Jagex, someone apathetic to MTX is the same as someone actively enjoying it and wanting it in the game. It's not just the big things we need to speak up on, it's small things like this, they're conscious decisions made by jagex to benefit them and screw over the player, that's just a fact, why do people want to bend over and allow it?
No, what’s allowing it to happen is people engaging with TH. Stop using it. “But it’s just two daily keys. What’s the harm?” This shit. Cause from the very beginning jagex’s argument is “people engage with the content so they must like it.” Don’t engage with TH at all, whatsoever.
The problem is the amount of ppl who don't want it is small in comparison to the amount of people who engage with this fuckery. It's unfortunate but true.
I'm always unsure if it's the people engaging with TH at all because of the keys you can get and use without spending irl $ (like daily keys and using oddments), or if it's the people that will spend the irl $ cause they really want to try to get a specific prize or just more xp from lamps
@@Dcaulder Uhh im pretty sure it still has to correlate to increase in revenue...if everyone engaged in TH and no one purchased it with cash...why would Jagex push it? For obvious reasons, some people are buying with irl cash like dogcoin, if TH wasnt profitable Jagex wouldnt push it. Clearly the market speaks for itself, and people who call it "toxic" may be closeted TH supporters.
I give up. Let the whales and spenders be happy, let them play in their own bubble and see even more predatory things they get milked out of. I join my Oldschool brothers, i'm just done.
I've played RuneScape on and off for years and I always, always come back for December to play through the holidays. I did not come back this year due to how bad this has gotten
I honestly don't understand the loot beam in that big present. Maybe it's on me for hyping it up but it was a real let down. I think this could have been handled better by putting the loot beam in the advent calendar and the black scythe in the big present.
@ Oh I agree. I just think it was a mistake putting it as a reward from the BIG Christmas present. People (myself included) were going to hype it up, as it's a Christmas Day present. Like when they shot themselves in the foot hyping the Hero pass up.
I've played 24 years. I can honestly say, this games hit an all-time low. I can barely bring myself to even log on anymore. I only play a little on holidays to snag what little crumbs I can. Jagex severly lacks any kind of creativity. All we get is reskinned cosmetics. I miss the days when the Gowers were running the show. At least they weren't money motivated. Anyways, thanks for the vid! Hope you and the fam had a Merry Christmas! Have a happy and safe New Years!
brighter shores my friend, a game where the gowers are now running the show. Its pretty bareboned in early access but its still fun and a great foundation is there.
@@appie7071 And how many years later did that happen? It didn't start out that way. And even so, they were NO WHERE near as preadatory as the owners are now.
3:44 No player should get free standard/premium membership no matter what rank they are. Jagex is ridiculous. They know that they can make a load of money from seasonal events like Christmas by adding a few new rare items into the treasure hunter that's related to the event like the ASH. It's a great way to steal their customer's money from the treasure hunter and investing players to buy bonds for 12 daily keys and so on. Because that's when most players tend to play the treasure hunter during seasonal events.
Last years big present was such an amazing one, and this year you get a lootbeam that may or may not show up depending on your settings. My disappointment comes from the lame gift, not from that it wasn't the aurora thing people were speculating about.
I think this is why they never allow in-game methods for skilling to be too good. It would ruin their profit margins for TH. Perfect example was the recent fletch nerf....and now just selling valuable in game items again....
Haven't logged in in years, but was recommended this video. Missed your voice and Tea recommendation haha. Im never coming back but genuinely hope the best for all you stalwart supporters. ❤
As much as I dislike mtx, I'm honestly done with grinding events from rs3 simply for the obscene rarity of the uber rare drops. In my over 5000 hours of playing I have never received a dye, mask, hat, or token similar to assassins walk in any event. I turned in hundreds of thousands of paper this year as well with no luck while my friend received two pink santa hats. I know it will piss off the ultra rare elitists, but these events need to be full rng with a real bad luck mitigator or I am just done as I'm sure many others are. I know that the other half of the community would say the opposite though.
Unfortunately, if they do that, we're just going to have another gold party hat on our hands. That thing's price crashed on release because everyone could get it and it's not seen as valuable anymore. I get it, seeing a 1/10,000 drop chance for a pink santa hat is absurd. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning or injured by a toilet. I've never gotten a valuable rare either and I know I probably never will. That's how statistics works. I played the holiday event for the atmosphere and to get rewards from the store because that was all stuff I knew I could get. (Granted, the rewards shop this time around was ass but that's beside the point)
Love the way your being so honest with the way this game is going. I for one am just going on to skill, try out some of the new content, work through quests "which I actually despise doing", and try out bossing which I've never done in the 16 years I've started playing this game. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends.
I'd rather have them make a cheaper membership version(like 45€/$ a year), without keys, without premier artefact, without a vault monthly gift, without all the shnik shnak, just plain old membership for less then a tripple a game a year. Crazy that this will never be a thing, rs3 could be so popular without all the corporate greed, but to each their own I guess.
I really dislike how Runescape's community is so bitter towards everyone who talks about the MTX and its negative presence. People saying "why are you complaining? Jagex won't change. MTX don't affect you, why do you care?" - you people are the exact reason why Jagex keeps shoving these down our throats. Disregarding the issue because you're "not affected" does NOT help the issue in the first place!
MTX, cosmetics, and UI complexity is a big reason why OSRS is 2x+ more popular than RS3. OSRS survives without it all. Bonds are only thing that's somewhat fine
i logged in after i got a email and got a ad for hero return to get 7 days of member ship for 2$ i bought got about 40 pop ups to buy keys, bonds, etc. idk if ill play again for a while which sucks because of how much time i put into this damned game
I wonder if there are any streamers who live stream Treasure Hunter. People Live stream scratch cards all the time showing how awful the odds are; I wonder if someone would be bold enough to consistently live stream TH to prove (or disprove) the written odds...
I understand at this specific moment its holiday break so most of the staff is off, but if they don't address the MTX survey and going forward when they return, the playerbase needs to hold their feet to the fire. This is the same shit they did at the start of last year where they didn't have a roadmap for the first quarter of the year.
Dang bro its almost next year again. It feels like that controversy happened 4 months ago. Here it is they still have no roadmap for next year again facts.
The giant present was a joke. The event is a joke. Moderators are overreaching for simple infractions. The game is going to the shitter. There's nothing they're celebrating but numbers and quarterly gains that's all they care about and its evident.
SharkyFlop On a serious note: Since I play seasonally from November- January (for obvious reasons), it reduced MTX relevancy for me because I have enough patience to just enjoy the game and earn stuff without buying bonds outside membership. Also keeps me away from modes like Ironman and now GIM because I want to enjoy the holidays and not do chores lol
Obviously the giant present wouldn't contain anything too exciting. Last year is was a single-slot cosmetic override, you really think they'd put another super-rare multi-billion gp party hat in something everyone would get? Unless the aurora party hat was a cosmetic, it wouldn't be in the box.
Since when do content creaters get free membership? How does one sign up for this? Or is it only their favorite content creaters? And or those who have large audiences?
@@cheshires_top_cat They give creators both large and small membership if they are in the rs content creator discord , based on a form they need to fill in. Its relatively new. Sincd covid I think
@ProtoxxGaming thanks for your response! Sorry for all the questions but do you know where I could find the discord? Is it listed on RuneScapes website or is it invite only?
@@cheshires_top_cat Its weird. I can't explain how it works as I've questioned how invites work myself. Apparently they are working on improving this and adding official invites/application forms. For now it's invite only/suggestions only. I suggested some other creators to be invited and it's taken them ages to even consider them...so...
Never really played OSRS, did go through a stint of about 6 months since it came out.. but even my ironman on RS3 just got boring with nothing being done with the game. Only maybe 2 weeks ago did most of my IRL rs3 playing friends switch to OSRS, and we're all absolutely loving it. Some of us started fresh, some of us are mid-game.. The love that OSRS gets is clearly shown in the game, and I can now just see what RS3 is. A cash cow, like GTA5 is for Rockstar.
@@zeldapro18 aurora and soul dye are greate examples, instead of putting them behind a paywall they could have been rewards from clues during their respective holidays. Every single cosmetic item from TH during events used to be free back in the day. You would do one small quest and get the rewards, now you have to spend money to get them.
@@uberhaxornovanongalaktiksk9798 don't have to spend money. buy bonds with gold and use bonds on keys. You can still grind out the items it is just a much longer grind. don't act like there is no way to get these items without paying at all.
*DOESN'T THIS VIOLATE JAGEX'S SETTLEMENT TERMS WITH THE U.K. GOVERNMENT AFTER THEY SMACKED JAGEX DOWN A COUPLE YEARS AGO FOR ILLEGAL GAMBLING?? I'M PRETTY SURE IT DOES.*
One of the other problems with this extra key thing is that once you get to 100 keys, you don’t get them from daily challenges anymore. So, it won’t take long with this package for you to start losing out on keys unless you use them. What a joke.
About the aurora party hat... I mean it can't be that hard to add to the game just give a pHat a fancy materal,texture and effect in the game aleardy... So they should have just done that... I would think it would have massely helped plaries feel excaty about this event and give players a reason to log back on if they haven't played in a while... So yeah wwerud they didnbn't do that...
at this point they may as well bring back the sand casino haha jks i have 10+ 120s and finally maxed just b4 christmas using double keys and present lamps to do 70 - 99 necro and invention now im maxed i have no real motivation to grind when u could just buy some keys haha onto the 200m agility grind on osrs 47m atm, happy holidays proooo
i would think that the comunity manager mod will try to push for a aurora party hat next year, and if it looks anything like the santa hat in colloring it will look amazing! (and yes i have seen the santa hat and i think it looks great)
your content is turning depressing, which in turn makes me depressed every time a new post shows up, so i will unsub because all you bring is negativity about the game. Perhaps you need to look for a different game to make content about and move on yourself as well.
I've been playing osrs and rs3 for a few years now. I'm currently doing a GIM account with a couple friends. Cause I like playing with my friends. But there is a very high chance that I'm not returning next year after this membership runs out. There are so many games coming out that I know won't shove a ton of microtransaction and ads in my face. That $100 would be spent on 3-4 other games. Instead of just the 1 that right now all I do is sign in just to do dailies and go back to playing poe2.
jup, 600m wasten voor 4 bonds om een paar extra keys te krijgen is het 100% waard! X'D vooral wanneer je main account luck er voor zorgt dat het nooit te compenseren valt :3.
Came back because of the new total level cap (near 3060 currently), got the new hatchet and everything.. I've just lost the enjoyment, I think. May sound pretentious but skilling in RS3 feels less rewarding when players can just use MTX to boost their experience immediately. It is their right to transact, though. So I've switched over to OSRS and created a skiller for a fairer playing ground.
i was disappointed HIGHLY that there was no ice floor maze like something like halloween or what was it 2010 or 11.. maybe 09? one of those had a floor maze! and it was awesome
Yea i logged in for like 3 days on rs3 after over half a year of not playing and saw mtx offers every day. Saw it even on my alt GiM, and haven't logged back in since.
They added cute pajamas overrides. It didnt appear as an item in the inventory, check your customizations for them maybe? Happy Holidays :) (At the very least, a lot of the non predatory mtx related stuff they added to the game with the event was pretty dang cool looking)
This is what happens when they decide to only have closed door discussions and surveys with MTX whales, rather than the bulk of the player base. I cancelled my sub when they increased the prices, because the game gets too expensive for me to afford, but there isn't even a trade off until that sub ends in July, because from the increase in membership, with it has come more MTX than ever before, not less. Jagex still proving they only do surveys for image, they do not give two shits about their player base, they still don't listen to them, it's all about portraying an image that they care while hiding the fact that if you don't have a gambling addiction that they can predate upon, they aren't interested in you.
i've been on 3 different accounts , multiple hours a day , every single day of the event so far . i've done every daily for the extra keys and even spent oddments on extra keys . i have double wrappers all wrappers bonuses etc. , and i still haven't even won a pink santa hat let alone a rare from treasure hunter . just candy canes , oddments , and lamps . i can't even imagine how upset i would be if i actually had something else to do on the Holidays but i sacrificed my time nonetheless . if Jagex thinks i'm going to spend cash on keys then they are mentally ill . rares should be rewarded for the grind , to players that put in their time and effort . rng is so wack it doesn't even make sense as a concept .
@MrInternetMan i disagree . i think most players aren't willing to or able to grind if it was something like you have to have 3 entries every day for the whole entire event for a guaranteed santa hat then that plus maxed spirit and everything in spirit shop bought , xmas quests done all activities grinded to a certain xp etc should guarantee a rare or at least unlock a buyable santa present in the spirit shop or something . mtx isn't what makes rares rares . look at the old rares that didn't come from treasure hunter that are still very rare items . i think your logic is flawed here .
Love your content Protoxx! Just last year or the year before they'd offered 450 keys for 32 usd now that was a celebration... this full monetization is absolute bull and has caused me to shut down 7 of my active P A I D membership accounts. I will not support this effort and I wish others would do the same! I'm not even renewing Premier on the accounts I will continue I will only pay for membership with gp from now on... Very sad... Iconic game and I'm going to miss all my alts... (broken heart emoji) they need a new marketing team!!!
Jagex will soon sell players' data, 💩 Then offer players "additional" security measures by selling extra security features, 🤡 Lastly, still selling players data in the name of "improving the game" 💀 . Tq, you welcüm
jagex is greedy. other news: water is wet. they’ve already increased the price of monthly osrs membership to $15 a month. you can have one osrs character or unlimited wow characters for the same price. i love runescape and osrs but yes jagex is extremely greedy
And this is why you're not a P-Mod yet, and we love you for it :) , you're the only one that speaks out on the BS of Jagex
They'd prob make him sign a contract so he can't make these type of contents. Rsguy being a prime example eww
Ya feels like once you signed u’re being neutered 😂
The whole idea of Pmods is kinda shit to begin with anyways

The level of greed was actually funny. They tried EVERYTHING lol.
Mtx is ruining the game, more features that were originally obtained ingame through gameplay is being put behind a paywall. Mtx affects everyone.
What features are you talking about?
@@zeldapro18 aurora and soul dye are greate examples, instead of putting them behind a paywall they could have been rewards from clues during their respective holidays. Every single cosmetic item from TH during events used to be free back in the day. You would do one small quest and get the rewards, now you have to spend money to get them.
@@uberhaxornovanongalaktiksk9798 don't have to spend money. buy bonds with gold and use bonds on keys. You can still grind out the items it is just a much longer grind. don't act like there is no way to get these items without paying at all.
How does that affect everyone? It doesnt affect me at all and i play rs3
@@dreamboundrsps1111 Because the overall quality of the game is suffering from jagex focusing on mtx over actual game updates.
I understand theres some members of Jagex who want change in the company but wow these MTX has destroyed everything.
Vrolijk Kerstfeest Protoxx! 🎅🎄
How was your holiday?
I'm still in the middle of my xmas holiday :)
Vrolijk kerstfeest!
*DOESN'T THIS VIOLATE JAGEX'S SETTLEMENT TERMS WITH THE U.K. GOVERNMENT AFTER THEY SMACKED JAGEX DOWN A COUPLE YEARS AGO FOR ILLEGAL GAMBLING?? I'M PRETTY SURE IT DOES.*
They will keep getting away with it, until bad consequences happen
Which is likely never
Thank you for the work boss!
In League of legends they went from their most expensive skin costing 30$ to now 300$ the weird thing is you can buy physical statues for less
I still keep up with the news of this game through you but good lord am I glad I was able to free myself from its hold.
I love how you care about us! tyvm
runescape isn't the game we grew up with, it's the dead shell off it with a puppeteer jangling the corpse around for coins via mtx.
One of the other problems with this extra key thing is that once you get to 100 keys, you don’t get them from daily challenges anymore. So, it won’t take long with this package for you to start losing out on keys unless you use them. What a joke.
About the aurora party hat... I mean it can't be that hard to add to the game just give a pHat a fancy materal,texture and effect in the game aleardy... So they should have just done that... I would think it would have massely helped plaries feel excaty about this event and give players a reason to log back on if they haven't played in a while... So yeah wwerud they didnbn't do that...
at this point they may as well bring back the sand casino haha jks i have 10+ 120s and finally maxed just b4 christmas using double keys and present lamps to do 70 - 99 necro and invention now im maxed i have no real motivation to grind when u could just buy some keys haha onto the 200m agility grind on osrs 47m atm, happy holidays proooo
Mod yuey doesnt even know what a part hat is 😂
I feel like double daily keys wouldn't have even mattered that much, unless Jagex is reallllllllly struggling with rs3...
It did matter I did it and got 2 aurora dyes lol
The only way this stops is if people stop buying keys. I know it won't happen but a guy can dream.
I memed a 120 agility with daily keys, i stopped playing but if i remember correctly it is the account named : DaDavinci, you can check the hiscores
I never get these banner ads upon log in. Not too sure why.
I wasn’t mad until they released necro skill outfit, now it all makes me angry
0:14 FYI "Tweede Kerstdag" is largely a dutch thing :P
Woeps ;)
There is a plan to increase the premier membership price to a high amount
I have been ANTICIPATING this video.
When my mems runs out, I won't be buying more unless it goes back to a reasonable £50 a year. I simply refuse to pay more than that.
RS3 dev team REALLY workin hard on being entirely blind to the community probably intentionally
1350 keys and 300k+ wrapping paper and still haven’t seen a pink Santa hat, aurora hat. My god…
juste got one after 80k wrapping paper
@ lucky you lol
Yeah it’s fu(%ed up the odds.
i would think that the comunity manager mod will try to push for a aurora party hat next year, and if it looks anything like the santa hat in colloring it will look amazing! (and yes i have seen the santa hat and i think it looks great)
I love how jagex is against gambling (duel arena, flower game, dice, etc.), unless they are the ones profiting from it...th
your content is turning depressing, which in turn makes me depressed every time a new post shows up, so i will unsub because all you bring is negativity about the game.
Perhaps you need to look for a different game to make content about and move on yourself as well.
I praise the game when it does good and I critique/give feedback when it doesn't. I'm just another player. Its not that deep.
been working on 14 acc thru out the event,end up only 2 pink Santa hat and nothing rare from TH.
I've been playing osrs and rs3 for a few years now. I'm currently doing a GIM account with a couple friends. Cause I like playing with my friends. But there is a very high chance that I'm not returning next year after this membership runs out. There are so many games coming out that I know won't shove a ton of microtransaction and ads in my face. That $100 would be spent on 3-4 other games. Instead of just the 1 that right now all I do is sign in just to do dailies and go back to playing poe2.
Protoxx is the true rs king.
I'm just another player 🤝🏻😅
Yea .. this event is MTX laced everywhere
jup, 600m wasten voor 4 bonds om een paar extra keys te krijgen is het 100% waard! X'D
vooral wanneer je main account luck er voor zorgt dat het nooit te compenseren valt :3.
Main rng is altijd slecht :(
Came back because of the new total level cap (near 3060 currently), got the new hatchet and everything.. I've just lost the enjoyment, I think. May sound pretentious but skilling in RS3 feels less rewarding when players can just use MTX to boost their experience immediately. It is their right to transact, though. So I've switched over to OSRS and created a skiller for a fairer playing ground.
I know if its in treasure hunter ill never get a chance to own it. Sucks too, i really wanted that new santa hat
i was disappointed HIGHLY that there was no ice floor maze like something like halloween or what was it 2010 or 11.. maybe 09? one of those had a floor maze! and it was awesome
If you have to click mtx windows (even to close them) to play the game, mtx affects you. Mtx affects everyone.
Am I celebrating right protoxx? I made a bunch of elder frames and haven't brought MTX
Yea i logged in for like 3 days on rs3 after over half a year of not playing and saw mtx offers every day. Saw it even on my alt GiM, and haven't logged back in since.
the MTX is what is killing this game for me, I find it more difficult to play every passing month
dont worry guys they are gonna look at reducing it...... lmao
This year christmas felt unrewarding due them recycling last years rewards from nice list entries without adding any new ones
They added cute pajamas overrides. It didnt appear as an item in the inventory, check your customizations for them maybe? Happy Holidays :) (At the very least, a lot of the non predatory mtx related stuff they added to the game with the event was pretty dang cool looking)
this is why rs3 numbers are so bad vs osrs ... mtx is ruining this game milking it at this point
This is what happens when they decide to only have closed door discussions and surveys with MTX whales, rather than the bulk of the player base. I cancelled my sub when they increased the prices, because the game gets too expensive for me to afford, but there isn't even a trade off until that sub ends in July, because from the increase in membership, with it has come more MTX than ever before, not less. Jagex still proving they only do surveys for image, they do not give two shits about their player base, they still don't listen to them, it's all about portraying an image that they care while hiding the fact that if you don't have a gambling addiction that they can predate upon, they aren't interested in you.
andddddd play ironman, problem solved. Great video though
i've been on 3 different accounts , multiple hours a day , every single day of the event so far . i've done every daily for the extra keys and even spent oddments on extra keys . i have double wrappers all wrappers bonuses etc. , and i still haven't even won a pink santa hat let alone a rare from treasure hunter . just candy canes , oddments , and lamps . i can't even imagine how upset i would be if i actually had something else to do on the Holidays but i sacrificed my time nonetheless . if Jagex thinks i'm going to spend cash on keys then they are mentally ill . rares should be rewarded for the grind , to players that put in their time and effort . rng is so wack it doesn't even make sense as a concept .
They wouldn't be rare if you could just earn them through hard work.
@MrInternetMan i disagree . i think most players aren't willing to or able to grind if it was something like you have to have 3 entries every day for the whole entire event for a guaranteed santa hat then that plus maxed spirit and everything in spirit shop bought , xmas quests done all activities grinded to a certain xp etc should guarantee a rare or at least unlock a buyable santa present in the spirit shop or something . mtx isn't what makes rares rares . look at the old rares that didn't come from treasure hunter that are still very rare items . i think your logic is flawed here .
This IS how you celebrate, if you're a paying member of the game RuneScape in all of its itterations.
Shhh stop giving them ideas😫😂
Love your content Protoxx! Just last year or the year before they'd offered 450 keys for 32 usd now that was a celebration... this full monetization is absolute bull and has caused me to shut down 7 of my active P A I D membership accounts. I will not support this effort and I wish others would do the same! I'm not even renewing Premier on the accounts I will continue I will only pay for membership with gp from now on... Very sad... Iconic game and I'm going to miss all my alts... (broken heart emoji) they need a new marketing team!!!
Starting to get where only the rich can play games and actually be able to enjoy them.
Jagex will soon sell players' data, 💩
Then offer players "additional" security measures by selling extra security features, 🤡
Lastly, still selling players data in the name of "improving the game" 💀
.
Tq, you welcüm
Videos like this reminded me why I decided to play much less and go f2p.
in my opnion is good time to Spend to get some goals 2025. i enjoy This things ^^
jagex is greedy. other news: water is wet. they’ve already increased the price of monthly osrs membership to $15 a month. you can have one osrs character or unlimited wow characters for the same price. i love runescape and osrs but yes jagex is extremely greedy
Thats why you play Ironman, things actually have value and pride.
