Ah microtransactions, the age-old debate. 'MTX are terrible!,' says one camp, the other retorting 'if you don't like it, don't buy it.' It's the 'blue or white' dress situation all over again. What most people agree on, however, is that 'pay to win' is bad - anything that you can purchase with real money that actively improves your experience in-game is a no-go. Whether it's gacha banners or rapid XP gains, pretty much everyone hates P2W systems. It's a label that's been hurled at Jagex several times over the past few years, especially when it comes to Runescape's Treasure Hunter system. A daily activity that allows you to win prizes, it's much-maligned by players, but it may not be for much longer.
