Honestly, I'm fully okay with micropayments. Very rarely (ie Silverhawk Boots) does an item acquired through Solomon's/SoF give someone a noticeable, tangible advantage over anyone. Runescape is NOT a 'pay to win' game at all, anyone with any nuance of the games mechanics including shilling can surpass the exp rates offered by spending tons of cash on treasure hunter.
If micro payments for non-game changing, cosmetic or minor convenience items is what it takes to keep this game alive and keep the quality of the content high (I don't think anyone will disagree with the quality of content over the past year or so is arguably the highest standard ever). I'm absolutely fine with that.
