Talk:Pure essence

Changes to tone
Removing ess mining was not the "only way to earn money" as a F2Per. Yes, introducing pure essence did kill off a significant source of revenue for F2Pers, and it also killed off a whole lot of 'bots who earned money from selling ess as well. But it wasn't as huge of a problem as was indicated here.

In addition, all rune essence in all member accounts was converted to pure essence when the switch happened. The only people significantly affected financially in the switch were people with F2P accounts (including former members) that had accumlulated significant quantities of normal rune essence with the intention of selling to markets, or use if they reactivated their accounts. IMHO, Jagex should have simply substituted all ess in all worlds and accounts with pure essence when the switch occured, but that is a political opinion and not something appropriate on this page. --Robert Horning 16:50, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
