Keep in RuneScape 2107 gold mind that the construction contracts was only polled several weeks leading up to its release, yet they still got it done and released in under a month. We still have articles announced years ago that just keep getting postponed. To be fair and please don't mistaken this comment as me defending Jagex's delays in any manner, the development resources and time for OSRS articles is a lot cheaper and easier to manage than the dev resources and time required for RS3.

Now that having been said, it doesn't serve as a justification into the RS3 Dev team! Especially considering they are making enough gains through MTX and are very well equipped to make content on a balanced basis. My biggest problem is the actual game material keeps getting delayed, but do you think they ever postpone MTX promos? Not a chance.

Exactly why I do not give them a justification for it. If they're in a position to setup a live ops team that is devoted to creating MTX related content and delivering stated content within a time, why can not they upscale their core content group to deliver the same level of articles whilst keeping it inside the ETAs they mention to us.

You know why: cash. The simple fact of the matter is, major content updates take a shitload of work and usually don't make a great deal of money. Comparatively, a small event with buyable money does not require much work and brings into a shitload of money.

Take this present Traveling Artisan event. Assuming $50/hr, that is ~$80,000 to develop this event. It costs about $40 in bonds to purchase every one the makeup, and that's not including leveling up the artisan, IDK how mathematics works out but skimming the amounts it'd most likely be at least twice that, so let's say $80. That means just ~1000 gamers need to pay for this event in order for it to be profitable, and that's not even such as the sharks who'll buy everything plus a dozen of all the consumables, or the many more that will set a few bonds into it but maybe not buy OSRS gold go all-in.
