People buying gold for real life money has literally always been happening behind the scenes (yes in 2007 as well), so again I have no issues with this. With membership bonds it even removes gold from an inflated economy. It seems to me though that you want a version of the game exactly how it was in 2007, in which case you’re SoL

I don’t understand your last paragraph unless there’s some weird regional pricing going on. It’s $13.99 USD for a month of Runescape membership vs $14.99 USD for a month of WoW membership

The only microtransaction in OSRS is the ability to buy membership with in game gold. As someone who is normally staunchly against all MTX it’s a very reasonable tradeoff

In addition to what the other commenter said, it’s more likely as someone newer and thus engaging in lower level activities to encounter bots since it takes less time to set them up and get going than mid to late game content. I find it rare to encounter an obvious bot as someone doing high level pvm/skilling

People can be hung too, but uh… it has a different meaning

Lightbulbs and knives?? Why

He’s got beef brain

…It’s entirely possible for straight people to be homophobic. In fact it’s shown time and time again

Because Google doesn’t have root access to your phone. You can install the pixel camera but give it no network permissions. It’s just another camera app at that point

You can install the pixel camera on graphene and it functions exactly the same as the stock OS

Your third link actually discredits your point. The Play store is the “main”/1st party app store for Android devices and the article says how it’s the biggest distributer of malware over 3rd party app stores

You are the majority though. Every time stats on free to play products are released it’s revealed that 90% of people spend no money and the vast majority of revenue is from whales that spend absurd amounts

I used Google back then and started using Kagi recently. The results I get remind me of how Google used to be.

The only downside is it’s a paid service, but it’s worth it for me personally
