TIF is bit over-moderated
There are still several scripts which are against RuneScape rules.

8Realms
Yeah, the server issues are getting very frustrating especially with the occasional roll backs but I guess that's to be expected in the Beta. Lets hope it's improved soon as the game is a lot of fun, much more than I ever expected it to be (I really didn't like War of Legends so this came as a shock to me).

8Realms
The Closed Beta Launched today and was wondering if anyone else has got a key yet? So far they've only given away 2,000 keys via Facebook and I believe they've all gone as of now but I guess more will be going out over the next few days. I got in to it and am enjoying it so far. It's basically like War of Legends, Civilization and Age of Empires had a baby and there you have 8Realms. Although I guess that's simplifying it a bit. When more keys are released you should give it a go, it definitely has promise and appeals to me a lot more than War of Legends ever did (which I've played about 20 minutes of total, I've already put an hour or two into 8Realms!)

03-May-2011 � Capes of Distinction
Business, that's 1 reason. thats probably the only reason to. In my personal opinion its sad that they gloat that they are the number 1 free game but refuse to give f2p players cosmetic items with no stats. Veteran and Classic capes both have stats.

Pink cape for all stats 70? That's a good reason as any to train all stats to 80 then, damn you Jagex! REally liking the Classic Cape Hood though, looks awesome

Warning to PSN users - Keep all PSN hacking discussion here
It didn't just happen again, the dates coincide pretty much with the original breach.

Future Update Discussions
What about someone who created their account in classic in didn't really play until after RS2 came out? Should they get it too then as they didn't "play" RSC? While it would be nice if the cape was a bit more exclusive I guess the 10 year cape will fill that role pretty well.

Jagex - Bot Busting
The difference is I never once claimed for a fact that she did report the bot, merely suggesting that she might have done. You're the one claiming 100% to the fact that she didn't report the bot. I imagine they have a huge backlog of reports to look through, hence why it wasn't dealt with in "several hours". Again that's not proof that she didn't report it. While it'd be awesome if the turn around was as low as a few hours (or even lower) that's not realistically possible. I imagine every single one of the detection methods has to be manually checked to make sure that it is indeed correct and to check things such as the account being banned and looking at that person's other accounts to check for activity there (as stated in the post linked at the start of the topic). I would love for them to be banned almost instantly when they're reported and I imagine Jagex feel the same.

Jagex - Bot Busting
... and I am not the one hiding behind an Admin tag and dragging the thread off-topic ... :P Again ignoring the points in my post :thumbup:. How am I dragging it off topic, you're the one who bought things up about Player Mods, I am simply continuing the discussion from there, just because it's gone at a tangent doesn't mean it's off-topic. Your claiming the Player Mod didn't report the bot, with no evidence to back it up and yet continue to say that you're 100% correct and everyone else is wrong then go around throwing snide comments at people along with back handed comments. If you actually want to discuss things in General DISCUSSION then feel free to do so, but insulting people isn't going to get you anywhere.

Jagex - Bot Busting
That's not proof at all, as stated she could have reported the bot for macroing and just ignored it at the same time (which is an option), just because she's chatting doesn't mean she's not reported the bot. You have no proof at all that she didn't report the bot. If you ignored it then how do you know that it wasn't muted or just reported by the player mod? And how do you know Jagex hasn't done anything about bots? They are being banned constantly. Do I think they're being dealt with quick enough and enough of them being dealt with? Not even in the slightest, there needs to be more done against them and I don't think anyone is denying that. However stating that they're doing nothing about it just shows your ignorance. No I didn't. I've written and contributed to more guides than you could imagine, I wrote about 50% of the content for another RuneScape fansite before it was closed, wrote quest guides for quests before most people had even finished the quests. Have the most viewed Dagannoth King Guide on YouTube along with several other videos, have written editorials for RuneHead and Tip.It. I had my chat as the chat for another community I am part of for a while. Not to mention my work here as an Admin and Moderator. And how do you know what I do in game? Again more baseless comments from you with absolutely no backing. Kissing Jagex's Ass? Just because I don't declare the sky is falling each time they say something doesn't mean I support everything they do, in fact I bet I actually have problems with more things they do than you do, I just don't publicly announce that. And I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say with that last comment, that I am friends with a few females here? What does that have to do with anything? I'm not the one claiming things as fact and then not supplying any evidence to back that up.

02-May-2011 - Behind the Scenes � May
Seems to be a 50/50 month, while nothing seems to be terrible content there just doesn't seem to be anything stand out there. The mining thing sounds very interesting and hopefully provides an alternative way of training Mining, plus the gold armour set sounds useful. The capes will be nice but not really a whole lot of actual content there. Hats are useless to me but I guess some people will enjoy it anyway. The upgrades week sounds good and will see what else is included in that. And finally the quest/dungeoneering things could be interesting but again will have to see, certainly the most promising thing this month anyway. Overall, fairly decent updates but nothing really stand out. Although content isn't everything and I think what a lot of people seem to quickly forget are all the small changes which occur which end up having a long lasting effect on the game. Ignoring all content over the last couple of years the game has improved immensely yet all those are forgotten and the content is what is focused upon. I have a feel that this month will be very much one of those months.

Jagex - Bot Busting
Oooo off-topic baiting by an admin, lovely =D> Yes -- being part of the problem isn't reduced only to in-game activities, apparently ... :rolleyes: Care to respond to my post at all? Or do you not have a reasonable answer to any of them? You're not very good at this discussion thing it seems. "Lets make my argument look valid by ignoring all the points that downplay my side!" Closing your eyes and putting your fingers in your ears isn't going to make the post go away.

Jagex - Bot Busting
And again I ask, how do you know that they didn't report the bot? You're ignoring my questions because you don't know, you're just assuming. And again also, why didn't you report the bot and add them to your ignore list? And if you'd actually read what I posted (that'd be a huge surprise to expect someone to do I know) I said I would have reported them, of course you ignored that too because it would mean you couldn't make a funny comment about me right? Also as you seemingly know everything about what makes a good mod it's a surprise that Jagex hasn't asked you to be one isn't it :rolleyes:. You're not part of the solution either by assuming others will report people and not do it yourself, so can't really say that to me when I said I would have reported them...

Jagex - Bot Busting
As I said in my previous post, how do you not know that the player mod didn't report the bot? Maybe they play with their chat off so they didn't see the spamming and thus didn't do anything. And how is it "mod wannabe" to report people breaking the rules? If you're complaining that someone else isn't reporting someone and you don't do it yourself then you can hardly complain. It doesn't matter if that player is a Player Mod or not. If you had reported the bot and added them to your ignore list like I said then you wouldn't know if the Player Mod had reported or not. You can't expect others to do everything for you which is what you seem to be expecting in this case. And if I was in that situation then yes I would have reported the person in question if they were indeed a bot and spamming, I never said otherwise.

Jagex - Bot Busting
Player Moderators are not forced to do anything, I'm not saying that the player moderator shouldn't have reported that person but they have absolutely no requirement to. And for that matter, how do you know that the player mod didn't report the bot? And again I point out your hypocrisy, if you do not use all the tools available to you to stop something then you can not complain when others do the same. If you reported them for botting then added them to your ignore list it wouldn't matter to you if the Player Mod did anything or not. You had enough power yourself to stop it being a problem for you (which is what you seem to be complaining about, saying how it was spamming when you were banking) and yet you seemingly did nothing about it. Your problem to deal with then and you can't complain about anyone else.

Jagex - Bot Busting
Player Moderators are not forced to do anything different while playing the game. Just because they have the power to report does not mean they should. People who call Player Mods to come do something are the most irritating people in the game, "I know a Pmod I'll get them". As a Player Moderator myself there is very very few occasions where I'd go somewhere and do something for the sake of taking action against somebody, it would have to be a very extreme case that needs urgent attention to stop a risk of safety for others. Also, use your ignore list. I've told you many times before yet you seem to have a problem doing that and always complain about people continuing on saying/doing bad things. Your ignore list exists for a reason, use it. Once again, a PMOD demonstrates that they, like Jagex, don't give a tinker's damn about the state of the game. :rolleyes: Go figure. Believe me I do. But if I'm in the middle of doing something then you ask me to come with you to just report people I'm not going to do it unless it's a VERY extreme case. You've clearly demonstrated that you have no idea what the role of a player moderator is in game. It is not a player mods job to do the reporting for you. If you don't bother reporting yourself and refuse to use the other tools available to you then it's very hypocritical of you to complain when Player Moderators aren't using their tools, is it not?

Fastest way for 88 fletch?
Broad arrows is the way I levelled fletching. Only problem is the 10k limit per 4 hours on broad arrow heads on the GE (and 20k for headless =/). Fairly expensive (mainly due to the fact that you can't sell the arrows) but it's fast xp.

'HYT' and what happened here?!

Gears of War 3
Played my first game earlier, came in halfway through and did fairly well. Not knowing the maps and not having played gears for a while makes the controls/camera a pain to do. Might try and play some more this evening. Bit annoyed can't play private games with bots just to get a feel for the controls/maps. Also not a fan of Team Death Match. My favourite thing of gears multiplayer is the "You make one mistake, you're done". You had to think about where you went, it involves tactical gameplay. Now with TDM there's a lot less of that (while still there) so the fact this seems to be being pushed as the main mode makes me very sad.

Gears of War 3
Only on some guns How much is that, from GAME I assume? £100 I think, and don't even know what's in it! Am a huge gears fan (was ranked 250th in Gears 2 when I stopped playing :P) so don't mind spending that extra money on it :).

Getting access tomorrow, have the epic edition preordered.

How many RuneScape originals from 2001 are still here?
I'll be getting my 10 year cape the first day it's available on multiple characters. So yeah, I've been around for a long time.

World Crashes and Login Difficulties
They didn't. I had to waste an entire weekend of no-lifing to get my Silk Hood back. -.- I was eating when w67 went down the first time tonight. Was concidered lucky to have not been on. w67 went down again not long ago and I'm stuck. I was tired of Dunge and losing my binds again to a server crash really isn't helping the issue. There were certainly people posting here claiming that they got their binds back. I'm sure it's not an automated system but I'm 99% sure it has been done. Maybe that was a special case I don't know, but some people *did* get their binds back.
