They scrapped Mechscape and worked on Stellar Dawn instead didn't they? Correct me if i'm wrong.
Ya thats it. Considering its release date going back and back, that should be a major reason. They just want to open up RS and be itself.
Although I think they might have better (but not perfect) bot/free-trade-catching system, they might be faking it too. Since they failed with bots and lost money while doing it, they could just let all hell break loose and get the money out of it while at it!
