"Treasure Hunter was introduced to the long-running MMORPG in early 2014. It's a simple feature where players can use keys to unlock treasure chests containing random rewards. Players get some keys for free, with the ability to purchase more with real money or earn them by watching ads. Elsewhere in RuneScape, real money can be used to purchase items that grant bonus experience points or improve character skills."
"Over the last few months, we've been rethinking how we design, fund, and evolve the game to make sure every decision supports fair, rewarding, and lasting gameplay. This vote represents the first and most major step in restoring that balance."
Treasure Hunter is a RuneScape feature introduced in early 2014 that lets players use keys to unlock chests with randomized rewards. Some keys are free, while additional keys can be bought with real money or earned by watching ads. The game also sells items that grant bonus experience and skill improvements for real money. Critics say these purchases create a pay-to-win advantage for paying players. Developer Jagex opened a vote on October 29 to decide whether to remove Treasure Hunter. Removal would also eliminate more than 200 cash-shop items that add experience or skill levels. Jagex frames the vote as a step to restore balance and build a stronger foundation for the game's future.
