    Everyone I know who actually pays to play Jagex games acts like it’s meth or heroin…

    It’s pretty far from that, but it is absolutely an abusive relationship and has been for some time.

      Ehhhhhh, what I said was partly hyperbole and partly very small sample size. My comment was not intended to imply a rigorous scientific study into the behaviours of paying Jagex players. I know 4 people who pay a subscription, all 4 spend all their free time either playing or watching other people play. It’s incredibly difficult to get them to talk about something other than what their character has been doing or they hope to be doing in the future.
