Man, I could write a book about everything that the Gower brothers did wrong. Jagex could not feasibly fix their game without scrapping everything.

Only if making ascension bows is your highest income. Hint: it isn't.

Well, when you ask questions like "Is an i3 enough?"and "Should I use Windows 8.1 or Windows 7?" it makes me think that you don't really know enough about servers to consider owning one. Servers are expensive and you can't really afford to make mistakes. Consider renting a server instead.

Your definition is wrong

Cheating is not a subjective term. It is not up to you or me to decide what constitutes cheating. It's up to Jagex, and their position on this is clear. Just like 'legality' is not what I think it should be, but rather what the state or the courts decide it to be. Jagex is the only person to be held accountable in this scenario. They have ultimate power over RS, and they control the supply (the most important element). We may all want to buy spins, but no one can until Jagex decides to provide that to us. They're the ones who put that system in place. Blame the system, not this or that individual who just happens to be using it to his/her advantage. Here's an important life lesson: It doesn't have to be illegal or unfair to be cheating.

I think it was that each hit had an individual strength roll. Maybe I'm wrong, it's been a few years.

As I said before, you can use whatever word you want for it. I'm going to call it cheating because that's what I think it is. And your point is perfectly valid. I don't think it's fair to single one person out when everyone's doing it. The alternative, though, is to not hold anyone accountable. It's not possible to focus on everyone's misdeeds. It would certainly be a better solution to hold Jagex accountable, but in an environment where we know that their policies are immutable, it becomes the community's responsibility to hold itself responsible. That is, we can beg Jagex to fix the game all we want, but we know that they aren't willing to. The community should instead focus on self-moderation. There are problems with this approach, though. The first, of course, is that it's hard to focus on everyone who cheats because everyone cheats. The other is that we have a tendency to go from holding people accountable for their actions to actively shaming people for cheating without warning. For example, it's one thing to say that you don't regard Forsberg's achievements as valid because he cheat, but it's another to say "LOL As if buying spins wasn't enough 'Gain XP at all costs' should be his motto." One is the expression of a negative opinion, the other is just outright being an [wagon] and that's why posts are so regularly deleted from this thread.

I know that each strength roll was separate, so the 7 and 6 are perfectly valid. I don't remember if the attack rolls were separate, but I would think they are. Without even a screenshot of evidence, it's hard to say anything. To make things worse, I don't think Paleas ever looked into the accuracy of dragon claws, or at least he didn't publish anything about it. All we know is that they had a 1.15% increase to MAR, which is more of an estimate and wasn't rigorously tested.
-
Yeah. The few times it happened were pretty reasonable in that they could have been trim or normal in the first place, which would also apply to our current dilemma, but it was still a pretty dastardly thing to do to players.

Well, I am not sure I liked your post for the reason(s) you may have intended. Obviously I interpreted (as any reader does with any text, or in this case post) in ways which you might not have intended, but every reader makes a text his own in some way or another. The idea is that it doesn't matter if everyone cheats. It's still cheating. Cheating doesn't mean taking advantage of something that others aren't able to take advantage of. It means abusing something to get ahead of the competition. You absolutely cannot justify cheating as "using every advantage available". That's what steroid users did and it created the darkest era in professional sports.

The way I see it, there's nothing wrong with having players kill bosses for a completionist cape, but it is wrong to move requirements from the trimmed version to the normal one. So if it's a trim requirement to kill Vorago and it's a trim requirement to kill the barrows brothers, killing other bosses shouldn't be a normal comp requirement.

You liked my other post but it looks like the point went right over your head

It's exactly like how every star baseball player in the 90s used performance-enhancing drugs

When all 4 hit, your max rolls look like this: I can't find any documentation on what happens when the first misses. All I know is that it's normalized to always equal ± rounding error Edit: The 4th hit is 1.5x damage. You're right.
