Yeah, I saw that video yesterday on reddit. It's pretty crazy that someone would go to such a length to abuse the free spin system...and even more crazy that he wasn't caught on the first day for dangerous-portal transferring. It's pretty pathetic that you could virtually trade your wealth and spread it across safety accounts in the event one of your mules gets banned and basically feel no repercussions to your rulebreaking.

It's stupid. He didn't show what could be done with Squeel, he showed what could be done with scripts. He had 3000 accounts going. Really hoping the new bot system works on those annoying things...

[Den]

Wow. Not saying he's doing a good thing, but I was amazed.

[decebal]

Jagex got such a great bot-detection system, eh?

[Battosai]

The spiteful side of me is happy sof is being used for evil.

[swedishboy5]

Now that guy is smart when it comes to using a system. But he really is so stupid to put it up on Youtube...Gl getting banned.

[Platinum_Myr]

No account names were posted.. and it wouldn't really matter anyways, I don't think he cares about getting banned.

Stuff like dragon ceremonial is in uncommon and I still didn't get it .

[Peronix]

Just dropped some $ on spins, I really want the dragon cape. But guess what I got? Two pairs of boots, and another top. I already have queens guard just from free spins, and I've already dropped $20 before in a fruitless attempt to get the cape. Now I have all of queens guard and dragon ceremonial... except the cape. Literally the only item out of the lot that I actually wanted. Quite mad at the moment.

[Den]

Well, they managed to mess it up. Big woop right there.

It isn't supposed to be possible to get multiple of the same Queen's Guard or Dragon Cere items, but it is now.
I have two greaves I got off of earned spins, and they don't stack in the bank. Still missing the top and boots.

This is why I've made the argument they should keep cosmetic gear on the SOF, but also allow it to be directly purchased. Something like 10-15 dollars for a full set sounds reasonable to me. Some WOW pets at 10 bucks, and mounts are 20 or 25 for an example.

File a bug that you shouldn't be receiving items you already have :s

[Ambler]

Only have the hat and body myself, full queen's guard though. Gonna be a sad day when I'm only missing one piece.
Oh, 4/5 pieces on pure, can't remember which ones though.

[Den]

Duplicates have been fixed and people with multiple pieces should not keep trying after 5 pieces. Some Mod posts:

The fix to prevent getting more dupes should be in place now.

Please let me know if you get any more.

Do bear in mind that the rewards are populated so depending on when you spin again you might see the duplicate one more time. After that spin however you shouldn't see the items you've won again.

I just put this on another thread if you're interested:

So if you've got 4 of the set and happened to get a duplicate of one of those don't worry about trying to win the 5th.

If you've got all 5 and got another, I'll see if I can swap it for what you would've got.

If you've not got 5 of them including any duplicates, when the fix is done, you'll be able to win the other items so if you wish to collect the full set just make sure you've got 5 in total and I'll sort out the rest.

Am I reading this wrong, or does this mean the screen and rewards of my next spin are determined even before I get a spin ticket / open the interface?

[Ruinous Edge]

I have full dragon ceremonial, just need queen's guard legs to complete both outfits, spun today and no luck, 8 more attempts at queen's guard legs to go ..

[Demoli]

This weekend, past common cosmetic rewads will be back to common and semi-rare places on the squeal. Called it.

That is the way I read it as well...or at least the reward possibilities are populated.  It would not suprise me in the least to find out the reward you will get is already determined as well, but his post didn't really make that clear.

[HunterDexter]

I did my spins at midnight, when the newspost wasn't out yet, so all the items were still in the rare spots. :c Another 5 chances wasted. :s I only got about 4-5 pieces in total, which is sad because I am a costume hoarder.

I'm expecting the pool of rewards to be predetermined, however the actual prize out of that pool to be determined when you press the green button.

Think some jmods have mentioned in the past that your exact prize is still determined when you press the button (and has nothing to do with the animation).
