Not that RS gold membership and mtx is poor, it's just the way it's moved about. As Purchasing Xp directly, There are some alternatives for. You could buy an amount of a denomination of bonus xp. You Could buy amounts of lamps, state 15 medium lamps for 4 bucks. These numbers are only examples or placeholder amounts not suggestions. You can buy a permanent item that gets charges while you ability or do combat and when it strikes a sensible threshold you'll be able to claim a solid chunk of xp according to your degree alongside a lamp, or silverhawk feathers as well as other skilling associated products. As it could be permanent, it might be sold for a good sum of money on the cash shop.

As PVP, it was murdered by Eoc for. Not that abilities and skills are awful for pvp, It's your ordinary runescape player would rather visit bdo, tera, Gw2 or other better ability established pvp games. Highscores are a meme as you said. They have zero relevence and to be able to get near highscores with mtx you would have to shell out tens of thousands of bucks for just ONE account.

Also the pay to get quest done in osrs runescape player can't actually compare their experien
