Hey Duke, I was hoping that the rumours of you being banned were not true. I'm very sorry to find out it actually is true. Don't worry about people losing respect for you. You were always a great merchant, earning your cash honestly, avoiding manipulation and scamming, and also helping others - including me - to learn how to merchant honestly. You've always been mature and polite and it really is a shame that you are banned :( I'm sure the majority of players, me included, have had their moment of breaking rules, whether it was scamming, manipulating or so on. You really are a good role model (not including this incident - a stupid mistake). I hope to see articles from you if you have decided not to create a new account and continue with RS. Good luck in your life.
