the problem with runescape

[Gold_dragon7]

1 Botters sure there is a few people working to stop botters but will eveer be stopped y beacuse jagex makes to much money off botters sorry folk flame if u want its the truth.

 

2) scammers sure they get muted or worse banned what good is that when they do not ip ban them depending on scam 2days later boom back to scamming :P and beside no 1 use mains to scam they scam then drop transfer or get scamming partner to transfer to their file meaning nothing is accomplished.

 

3) forum mods are all 1 sided i posts a list of known scams and it was removed so i posted a rant saying a list should be given because not even 1/3 of playeras on forums are scammer. there reason for no scam list was may encourage people well 1/3 people may learn and try scam but 2/3 of player will now know it is a scam and will not allow it to work.

 

4)advertising on there site as if they do not make enough money already

Mi amigo, ÃÆÃâÃâéste es un problema grande que debe ser tratado pero cÃÆÃâÃâómo es mi pregunta. ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâÿEl dinero cÃÆÃâÃâómo lo hacen de "botters"? :?:

 

 

 

My friend, this one is a great problem that must be treated but how it is my question. The money how does it of "botters"? :?:

[Gold_dragon7]

90% of botter buy member account to cut mages fish sharks and buy items like vials and sell for huge mark ups all of these account pay for member + jagex cash

[inglesespanol]

Si. :idea:

[123Yourgone]

90% of botter buy member account to cut mages fish sharks and buy items like vials and sell for huge mark ups all of these account pay for member + jagex cash

And 10 legit members probably quit becouse of the botting problem for every bot that they let on members.

 

Leaving autoers on runescape does NOT benifit jagex.

[Gold_dragon7]

10 players per botter hmmmm each p2p world has at least 150 botthers so ur sayign 1500 people leave game per server i dun think so 10 botter = 1 quitter max still gin 9 extra members

[epeeflecher]

What the hell is a botter?

[gun_hippy]

What the hell is a botter?

 

 

 

Seriously?

[Nopheo]

An auto. A bot. Some one who uses a computer to play for them so they get things easily.

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

I wanna hit every individual point of this rant so that there is no trace of doubt in your mind. What you're ranting about is so well known that there's only two things we can do about it: fix the problems where we can and place our faith in Jagex to resolve what we cannot.

 

 

 

1 Botters sure there is a few people working to stop botters but will eveer be stopped y beacuse jagex makes to much money off botters sorry folk flame if u want its the truth.

 

 

 

I wanna see some evidence of this. Besides, if Jagex is honestly making money off of them, then why ban them? Why do you think that Jagex is so hellbent on cash instead of player satisfaction? I for one feel that they're doing a fine job with the autoer problem (and believe you me, it goes WAY deeper than any one of us could ever believe). If you don't feel that they're doing such a great job, and you want to quit, the door's right there. Don't let it hit you on the way out, though.

 

 

 

2) scammers sure they get muted or worse banned what good is that when they do not ip ban them depending on scam 2days later boom back to scamming :P and beside no 1 use mains to scam they scam then drop transfer or get scamming partner to transfer to their file meaning nothing is accomplished.

 

 

 

 

The scammers prey on the gullible. If you have to, take an extra sixty seconds to review whatever trade you're involved with and give it some serious consideration, especially if it involves transactions over 5-10M. No one can be held responsible for your own irresponsibility with your valuables but you. You can either accept that fact gladly, or madly; either way you'll need to accept it.

 

 

 

I'm also curious, why do so many people think that an IP ban will solve anything? With some broadband/dial-up companies, a simple disconnection and reconnection of your [DSL] modem will reset your IP. So what if that one IP is banned; you can always get a new one.

 

 

 

 

 

3) forum mods are all 1 sided i posts a list of known scams and it was removed so i posted a rant saying a list should be given because not even 1/3 of playeras on forums are scammer. there reason for no scam list was may encourage people well 1/3 people may learn and try scam but 2/3 of player will now know it is a scam and will not allow it to work.

 

 

 

Ever consider reading the official forum rules? They tell you not to post about ways to scam other players! This would propagate more scams into the game, and we don't need that. So how would a forum moderator become one-sided if they were only doing their job?

 

 

 

4)advertising on there site as if they do not make enough money already

 

 

 

That's to pay for free players. I don't even know how the hell you could rant about this. Either move on or buy members to deal with it.

 

 

 

------

 

 

 

Overall I think you should take a long hiatus from RuneScape and seriously evaluate the way you're looking at things. There's a much bigger picture than the little scrap of paper that you will happy claim holds all of RuneScape's problems. I'm not saying this to be mean or anything, but I think it'd do you and the community a lot of good if you took a week or a month off.

[Omali]

If you can only list four things, I think Jagex is doing pretty good. Look at the huge lists of things wrong that players find with other games.

 

 

 

Two thumbs up Jagex!

[purfishx]

There are WAAAAAAAAAAY more problems with Runescape than this.

[Gold_dragon7]

these are just the major issues not knit picking like people do with other games

[frogmann2]

2) scammers sure they get muted or worse banned what good is that when they do not ip ban them depending on scam 2days later boom back to scamming :P and beside no 1 use mains to scam they scam then drop transfer or get scamming partner to transfer to their file meaning nothing is accomplished.

 

 

 

 

The reason they won't ip ban is because some households have multiple rs players, like brothers, friends, parents, and the likes. Also, many ip's are shared by a couple houses, so ip banning one person could ip ban an entire neighborhood. Probably the best reason is the fact many ip's change overtime, so one person can have numerous ip's over a time period. So really, an ip ban is pretty impractical.

[Rsdude099]

The thread's poster's grammar sucks.

 

 

 

The poster sucks.

 

 

 

The whole entire thread sucks.

[Master_Smither]

Thats the basic 4 problems yes. But there is many more

 

 

 

Please you the revised version I posted below :pray:

 

 

 

Maybe make your thread a bit better like:

 

 

 

1. Macros: There is only few people to stop them but they will never be stopped. Why you ask, because Jagex makes too much money off of them thats the truth flame at your own will.

 

 

 

2. Scammers: Sure they get muted and banned but they never get IP banned so they come back after 1-3 days depending on the ban. Also they never use their main they drop transfer it back to the main or trade with friends to give to the main. So intern nothing is accomplished.

 

 

 

3. Forum Mods: They are all 1 sided. I posted a list of known scams and it was removed. So then i posted a rant saying a list should be given because 1/3 of the players on the forums are scammers. Their reason was that the 1/3 of players will learn and try to scam. But thewn 2/3 of players would know it was a scam.

 

 

 

4. Advertising: On http://www.runescape.com. As if they dob't make enough money already.

[purfishx]

1) True, it'll be impossible and i repeat IMPOSSIBLE for Jagex to ban all macros.

 

 

 

2) Jagex has been doing a good job cutting down on scammers e.g. Herblore update and the inventory spot trade update but they could worry more on the game itself because scammers will always find a way around the system.

 

 

 

3) I don't respect mods.

 

 

 

4) They're a business so money is like their number 1 priority.

[The Observer]

1 Botters sure there is a few people working to stop botters but will eveer be stopped y beacuse jagex makes to much money off botters sorry folk flame if u want its the truth.

 

 

 

 

They might as well include cheat codes in the game as that is what they are doing.

 

 

 

2) scammers sure they get muted or worse banned what good is that when they do not ip ban them depending on scam 2days later boom back to scamming :P and beside no 1 use mains to scam they scam then drop transfer or get scamming partner to transfer to their file meaning nothing is accomplished.

 

 

 

 

If they get IP banned, the legit RuneScape players will get banned for no reason. Imagine a level 126 Player Moderator not able to play RuneScape just because their little brother scammed somebody.

 

 

 

3) forum mods are all 1 sided i posts a list of known scams and it was removed so i posted a rant saying a list should be given because not even 1/3 of playeras on forums are scammer. there reason for no scam list was may encourage people well 1/3 people may learn and try scam but 2/3 of player will now know it is a scam and will not allow it to work.

 

 

 

 

The forum rules are in place for a reason. You should read them sometime. :-w

 

 

 

4)advertising on there site as if they do not make enough money already

 

 

 

Those advertisements help JAGeX add bandwidth to the site and they also maintain the F2P servers. If they were removed, all the updates wouldn't be as graphically intense as they are now.

[Nom]

Use some freakin' grammar. . . That post was harder to read than Middle English.

[Fey_Warrior]

1 Botters sure there is a few people working to stop botters but will eveer be stopped y beacuse jagex makes to much money off botters sorry folk flame if u want its the truth.

4)advertising on there site as if they do not make enough money already

 

 

 

1) Jagex & Rule-breakers:

 

 

 

Obviously you don't see that Jagex dislikes rule-breakers as much as legitimate players do - anyone caught illegally using software to gain an advantage in the game is instantly banned.

 

 

 

Jagex does not care for rule-breakers in their game and they will gladly welcome any reports and tip-offs on those that are breaking them. If you suspect a player is breaking Rule 7 - report that suspect silently and they will be queued to be investigated.

 

 

 

They might not get banned overnight, but within a few days and up to 2 weeks. If they are found breaking the rules they will be removed.

 

 

 

When they're banned all depends on how long the reporting queue is and when Jagex did their last mass ban on Rule 7 breakers. Jagex bans around 8k or more accounts a week (exact figures aren't published often) so it simply a matter of when, and not if these rule-breakers are banned.

 

 

 

2) Posting about Rule-Breaking & Scams:

 

 

 

Sadly a lot of unscrupulous players do take advantage of players discussing tid-bits of glitches, bugs & scams on the forums. If all players knew how to be discrete and not give away information that could potentially be used to exploit the game or scam another player, then discussing it would likely be fine.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, too many players go into detailing how-to-do-it, or how-it-was-done-to-them giving all the keys and an open door to rule-breaking. I don't discuss or detail glitches I find, or scams I uncover, even on fansite forums, as that could help people exploit the game.

 

 

 

Besides, if one reads the pages describing on how to avoid scams, and you don't trade with dodgey players in dangerous locations in-game, most if not not nearly all scams can be avoided without helping the scammers.

 

 

 

I'm sorry, but I fail to see what part of not helping rule-breakers by not giving them detailed schematics on how-to-break rules, is hard to understand?

 

 

 

3) Forum Moderators:

 

 

 

Forum Moderators on the Offical RuneScape Forums, like all fansite forums are obligated to enforce all rules fairly, as given to them by the forum/board administrators. If you don't think they're doing their job then report them.

 

 

 

Before you report them though, consider that the Administrators would be very busy people (as they would be on Tip.It too) and sending in false reports simply because you did not like a moderator decision, isn't going to make those running the forum very happy.

 

 

 

On the other hand if you report a rogue moderator of course they'll be happy but most forum Administrators, including Jagex, are very careful to check up on and observe the temperament of moderators, before making a player a moderator.

 

 

 

So by all means report bad moderators, but make sure that you've read the rules and understood why a moderator took their action, before you do.

 

 

 

4) Advertising on the RuneScape site:

 

 

 

Advertising on their site helps fund development of the game. As a high traffic site, this means more money to fund more staff to improve and expand the game. Jagex is still a private company, which is run to build the game even bigger. I don't mind the advertisments personally.

 

 

 

If you do see an advertisement that affects the performance of your computer or is offensive or inappropriate in any way - report it - since posting about it here isn't going to get it removed to be honest.

What was he saying? some ting about macroers..? I couldn't tell..

[Locutus_Of_Borg]

I'm thinking that if I color code this, your brain might not overload as much.

 

1 Botters sure there is a few people working to stop botters but will eveer be stopped y beacuse jagex makes to much money off botters sorry folk flame if u want its the truth.

4)advertising on there site as if they do not make enough money already

 

 

 

1) Wouldn't it make more sense to ban the bots faster, thus Jagex gets paid more because then they get paid more often by the bots?

 

 

 

2) Get over it. There are people in real life that scam others.

 

 

 

3) If you're flipping posting ways people scam, then yes, you're pretty much giving step-by-step instructions on how to scam which is placed under Encouraging Others To Break Rules

 

 

 

4) The advertisements pay for the F2P version of the game, moron.

[phazonking]

Your title is a bit misleading, as there are countless problems with RuneScape :P

[Solidus_77]

1 Botters sure there is a few people working to stop botters but will eveer be stopped y beacuse jagex makes to much money off botters sorry folk flame if u want its the truth.

 

 

 

If so, then why do they ban bots by the 10k per week? why did they COMPLETELY destroy all the auto-buying bots? Obviously you're making some arrogent assumptions which happen to be completely false.

 

 

 

2) scammers sure they get muted or worse banned what good is that when they do not ip ban them depending on scam 2days later boom back to scamming :P and beside no 1 use mains to scam they scam then drop transfer or get scamming partner to transfer to their file meaning nothing is accomplished.

 

 

 

considering how easy it is to get around an IP ban, it would be pointless. Besides the scammer will lose the money he has collected.

 

 

 

3) forum mods are all 1 sided i posts a list of known scams and it was removed so i posted a rant saying a list should be given because not even 1/3 of playeras on forums are scammer. there reason for no scam list was may encourage people well 1/3 people may learn and try scam but 2/3 of player will now know it is a scam and will not allow it to work.

 

 

 

You broke a rule by posting people's names, then you broke a rule by complaining. You have only yourself to blame for that

 

 

 

4)advertising on there site as if they do not make enough money already

 

 

 

They have stated that the advertising allows them to break even. It's the only reason they are able to provide the free version of the game.

[Death_Hippy]

My friend, it is easy to find problems with any game...any genre,any type, and any age of game's has a flaw.Everything in the gaming world of any game is flawed, and you'll be hard pressed to find one that isn't.That's why it's easy to start a rant.Games like halo aren't perfect even if people say it is.There's a lot of glitch abuse in that game.In this game, customer support, community, and overall maturity isn't perfect.So you know what?BURN THIS TOPIC IN HELL! :evil:
