Again, the riot is because of the recent "Refer a Friend for an EXP Bonus" program. We (the Runescape community) are complaining that it is borderline RWT, which is something that the Jagex community has publicly said they will never do.
There is really little chance that anything will be done about it. However, I think this is the biggest commotion that has ever been made about an RS update, except maybe the removal and reintroduction of Free Trade.
