I tried to fight for RuneScape's sharksuit, but Jagex were having none of it - "it's for the greater good"

For the first ten years, Philpott explains, RuneScape had a clear style, "you could see it's very medieval fantasy". Philpott points to the sharksuit, a cosmetic added in 2015 that could initially only be acquired through Treasure Hunter, a microtransaction-funded event. But I don't play RuneScape, so my opinion on this matter counts for nought. There are players telling Jagex that the game "'doesn't feel like my RuneScape anymore'", Philpott says. "It's often spoken about as 'You shouldn't play RuneScape because of X, Y, and Z, you should play Old School," Philpott says.
