Its a really good idea they actually are doing something about boys now

Very smart idea imo.

wow, i remember they said that they will never do this type of shit like gambling for irl cash and now they have SOF and u pay to get spins.
jagex usually goes back on their words.

This isn't going to stop gold farmers. This will just stop people from paying gold farmers real life cash.

not really. i'd rather pay gold farmers $1.50 a mill then buy 500 spins for 20 dollars and not even get anything tradable

Oh man, I completely overlooked that.^
Now I think all this will do is lower price the farmers sell the gold for.

You can get more than just spins, but in reality I think the only thing people will use them for is membership or getting expensive ingame items.
.

Though I think it won't be 100% effective it sure will hurt gold farmers, plus the economy gets a gold sink. (Which was truly needed in the current RS economy.)

Plus I think that ~some~ people would rather do legitimate RWT than be at risk for being banned for illegal RWT.
