Items exclusive to the wheel convert into a set amount of coins with price increasing with rarity. The main controversy over the Squeal of Fortune is that it is considered to be a form of real world trading by a number of players, due to the fact that many items from the Squeal of Fortune either have a significant gold or xp value. However, Jagex's official stance on the rule is that real world trading is only an offence when it involves a third party.

The other process was an ongoing review of a report on the Interactive Gambling Act, This report concluded on 12 March , and one of the recommendations was that the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy should work out "potential measures to address the access and marketing of online gambling-style services to children". However, no change was ever made for the Squeal of Fortune based off these legislations. If a member is paying by credit card, and the credit card information has been saved with Jagex, there originally was no identity verification between clicking the in-game "buy spins" button and confirming the transaction.
Since there is no option to disable spin purchasing on an account, it is also possible for children whose parents pay for their RuneScape membership to spend their parents' money on Squeal spins without their knowledge. These issues have provoked accusations that Jagex is violating laws concerning customer data protection.
Jagex has replied with reminders to keep your RuneScape login information secure. Additionally, they changed their Terms and Conditions, [3] [4] effective 2 April to avoid lawsuits by adding a line in the Subscription section:.
It should be noted that anybody whose account existed before the Terms were updated were not alerted of this change. However, in the Terms and Conditions it states Jagex does not need to do this, and users are responsible to check for changes:. In any case, if Squeal spins are bought by an unauthorised third party, the issuing bank of the debit or credit card, and other payment providers such as PayPal, have facilities available to reverse charges for disputed transactions.
As of a patch note update, however, the security around buying spins has been "tightened". Many players have been concerned by the precedent that this sets for the future of RuneScape. These players maintain that once Jagex makes an update connected with selling items or experience for real world money, they will be more inclined in the future to make updates connected with real world trading, despite having promised in the past that microtransactions would never be added to RuneScape.
This has already been realised with the introduction of bonds , which allows players to buy bonds with real world money which, in turn, could be directly sold to other players for coins. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.
We feel your status in real life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape. Despite RuneScape' s long history of fighting against real world traders, some players believe that RuneScape may soon become insolvent as Jagex is seemingly rewriting their previous rules. Within the first week of spin-selling, over fifteen thousand players voiced their objections to the Squeal on the update thread or one of the hundreds of other ones.
To put this number in perspective, most update threads receive only two to three thousand posts, most of which are positive or ambivalent. The fifteen thousand replies to the spin update are as good as entirely negative, with only one positive post in the first twenty pages. After one week of consistent player objections, Jagex locked the forum in which these objections were voiced, but opened a special Squeal of Fortune feedback thread later on.
Insults for the Squeal are still seen in current times with the most prevalent being the "Steal of Fortune", "Wheel-World Trading". Adding to the controversy was the Gambling and Games of Chance offence, which is seen as even more hypocritical on Jagex's part as they allow only their form of gambling while banning others.
This particular update was very popular with most players, apart from those few actively gaining from games of chance and the scamming involved around it. On 14 August , Mod Timo responded by giving this quote about the controversy surrounding the SoF and Solomon features:.
Bots - We're working on it. Hopefully we'll have more information about this soon but I can't give you an ETA at the moment. It's definitely an issue that we are aware of and are focusing our energy on. ICU are a secretive bunch, but maybe we can get some more info out of them shortly.
Previously, membership was the only way to do so. Now, you can support us in any way you choose. Including not spending a single penny by playing the game for free! People may not like that others are spending money on cosmetic items or spins, but the fact is that lots of people are using both Solomon's Store and SoF. Both for free and paying for them. What some might see as 'pushing', we see as adjusting, balancing and changing for the better.

The last time I logged in was days ago and some Alice girl popped up to see me. Hardcore - We'll probably be modded for this Idk but I hope they give refunds because I came back after not playing for a long time and they don't have the only feature that kept me playing.
I can't stand doing any skills now, because those exp necklaces aren't around anymore. It's absolutely absurd, Jagex is supposed to be a company, but in the end they always just cave in to the demands of the brats who say ridiculous things like "free exp breaks the game ur the worst I already have 99 cooking, why should there be any advancement in skills after they're released that's not fair to the ones who got skill capes before it was released wtf.
I'll look around, I'm sure we can find a petition or something to get Jagex to listen to us, the reasonable part of the population. I hope they care about us as much as they care about the kids who do nothing but complain.
Zeus 7 years ago 3. It was replaced by Treasure Hunter, which features some improvements over the old system such as giving you a number of chances to block some of the loot you don't want. Yelps is going to be executed in a quest later this month, as per the result of a player poll. You now get a fixed 2x exp when you have bonus exp remaining rather than the old 1. However, the bxp from pendants was nothing compared to SC exploits where cheaters were getting upto k bonus exp per hour by boosting with their alts.
There are people with 18m or 20m bonus exp in some skills but Jagex has refused to take action against them because their cheating was apparently grandfathered in by some alleged ambiguity in the multilogging rule because don't log in with more than one account at the same time apparently wasn't clear enough Otherwise, as far as exp goes, low level players were better off under the lamp system rather than the pendant system because they didn't need to train a skill at all.
Pendants and other BXP really doesn't become a benefit until later levels. Excuse me for "trolling", but you would be upset too if you weren't already maxed.
Those necklaces gave double experience, so now that they're removed I am getting half the exp I'm supposed to be getting. I'm really good at wasting ticks, so I can't even max Cooking the way the game is right now.
Lord Ith is so cute how he acts like a grumpy old man to all the vets like me that he actually loves :. Zeus 7 years ago 5.
