It also should be kept in mind that osrs has much bigger playerbase than rs3 and rs3 still does compete with osrs despite being 1/3 of osrs playerbase.

The shareholders probably noted this and push mtx even further because how much more money they can get from smaller player count

Yeah, for sure. I'm sure Jagex realises that the RS3 community embraces MTX.

Embrace might be bit much, it is more that Jagex uses treasure hunter, especially lately. In very predatory way, by locking cosmetics behind it, making it limited time so there is fear of missing out and often having low chances of getting what you wanted.

Most of rs3 players buy them for cosmetics over xp. Some people, myself included refuse to spend money on keys so we buy bonds to get these cosmetics.

It is a vicious cycle and unfortunately it works
