Crazy it took this long tbh

It might not be that crazy - the poll here is only for Treasure Hunter which is a lootbox, not all MTX in general. """Coincidentally""", EU is about to introduce regulations that would essentially ban or limit lootboxes in video games.

If you asked me, I'd say it's just a way for Jagex to fix an upcoming legal issue and get positive PR for doing so. With this poll, there's also a proposal to add in a way to buy bonus exp directly for real cash, albeit with a cap.
