RuneScape is offering players a voice by voting on its microtransactions for 14 days

Community Power Surge: RuneScape Players Decide the Fate of Treasure Hunter

Jagex is doubling down on community-driven development, giving players a direct say in the future of the MMORPG’s microtransactions. A new **live community vote** lets you choose whether Treasure Hunter should stay or be removed entirely from the iconic fantasy adventure. This transparent approach echoes the studio’s broader push toward player-first design and fair monetisation.

To make removal possible, the poll needs to surpass 100,000 votes—impacting more than 200 in-game items including XP Lamps, Dummies, Proteans, and Portables. With this major decision shaping long-term balance, the vote has quickly become one of the most significant community moments in recent RuneScape history and a hot topic in **MMORPG monetisation trends** and **player-driven game updates**.

You can check out Jagex’s full explanation in the feature video below. With over 77,000 votes already cast, the massive on-site counter shows a refreshing level of transparency. As other studios experiment with alternatives to gacha and RNG mechanics, this vote could influence the wider conversation around **ethical free-to-play design**. The poll stays open for 14 days—so now’s your chance to make your voice count.
