I've played Runescape way back since 2005, before Runescape 2 and 3. There's always a part of me that yearns to play this game, no matter how old I get. The grind has become immense compared to when I first played, and the micro transactions have kept me from playing any more. Sure, there's an ironman mode you can play to avoid that for the most part, but micro transactions have still become a fundamental feature of the game itself which takes away from the grind many of us suffered in the early days, before you could basically buy experience or items from Jagex themselves.
