Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish

Well, considering the situation, I think they had a very good reason to allow him to break said rule that one time. I do think it was unfair to ban him for something that made absolutely no sense, but at least they were generous enough to try to work a deal out with him.

 

 

 

BS!

 

 

 

Jagex knows that stats are more important to a player than items. I worked YEARS for my 1919 skill total. Over 6 to be exact. I'd rather have my STATS than ANY of the tripe in my bank.

 

 

 

I can get the items back rather quickly. The QUESTS/STATS would just hurt to much to try.

#-o Sorry, didn't think about that. Then in that case, I would suggest to them that they transfer the STATS (they can change their own, why not his) to the new account, as well as items. Or just rename the account. Both just seem so much better.

Indeed. Jagex stated years ago that they were going to introduce a "rename" feature. They never did.

 

 

 

I don't understand why they don't offer it in his case.

 

 

 

He's OBVIOUSLY not made one of "those" names that deserves an instant ban. There's no reason to totally bone him like this.

sorry for more off topic posts...however:

 

 

 

the account isn't mine...it's my co-leader's.

 

it's an automated message...they're not nice...they're doing it to anyone. the only reason they are is because of this update. had it not happened, i bet they'd have just banned it on the spot.

Now THAT is just corrupt and tyranical! Jagex should NOT be allowed to get away with that.

I would have thought someone like yourself would rise above petty ridicule.

 

 

I try. I'm no saint, despite what some may set up as a straw man to knock down. And I've really taken far more than my fair share from rather abusive people on this thread (and many others.)

 

 

 

Sorry if I overreacted to your post.

 

 

 

:P Keep it cool. That goes to everyone.

Nice article! It was an awesome read. :

Personaly I don't find the name offensive, but I wont get involved with that.

 

 

 

just to let you know through, Jagex are doing a mass clear up of any account name deemed to be offensive, getting rid of all the names at once, even though I dont think this name is.... I personally think this is a good move on jagex, and will set the game in good stead for 2008.

 

 

 

In this case I think Jagex made a wise desission allowing people to transfer items.

 

 

 

Stat switch was not offered as it is not possible... sadly its just not something they can do.

 

 

 

The messages are premade as it is exactly the same infomation they need to say each time, and need to send ALOT of messages. Although I do think they could have actually said his name rather than dear player.

All Jagex should have offered (and it is something that should have implemented years ago already), was to be able to change the names of offensively named characters. But Jagex clearly doesn't care if loyal players loose 5 years+ of game playing.

 

 

 

The dictatorial Jagex only needs to consider someone's name offensive and they'll consider that to justify the loss of 5 years+ of game play. Seriously - anyone defending this ridiculous behaviour on Jagex part lost his mind and certainly lost track of the meaning of "fair" and "fun".

 

 

 

In fact by now allowing people to transfer their items to a new character, they are even pretty much confirming the game is all about money and that skills are relatively meaningless - something I have never even claimed to that extent. The statements some people have made throughout the history, that skills are permanent while items were not, is being falsified in a matter of seconds here and the opposite is apparently true if you are having any trouble with Jagex.

 

 

 

Nah. The self-righteous Jagex does not understand a single bit about ethics.

Qeltar, one thing I'd like to point out- You talk about how nice it is that the worst kinds of pkers (pjers, whiners, etc) are gone, but seem to forget about the rabid, snarling clans and teams rampant in bounty hunter that giggle and exclaim "gf" every time they kill someone 30 levels down. It's just trading one kind of trash for another, and that is simply intolerable.

Bounty Hunter was poorly designed and tested, and clearly "rushed to market". My hope and expectation is that Jagex will make major changes to it soon.

Nice article!!

 

 

 

Lots of good points on all sides of the argument.

 

 

 

Jagex will need to reconsider the entire Pking effect and it will be interesting to see how they "tweak" the updates so that pking will be allowed again. I think it needs more than a little tweak,a complete overhaul seems required.

 

The fishing industry is gone and other skills will become less useful until the pkers are restored. Personally I am not, and never will be, a pker but they have killed me a few times when mining rune. However I just factored these results into the eqution as to whether it was worth it or not. Mining rune is easier now but I would not have got my combat level so high if it was not for needing to avoid death. (118 at present).

 

Merchanters and bots are the bigger foe (Just see how many high levels are now cutting yews again)

awesome article! it's good that peeps are looking at these updates from different viewpoints! the updates definitely aren't "Just bad" or "Just good," just like most updates.

 

 

 

i like what you said about pkers. i myself can't stand the "pures" who go out into the wild for easy kills. that's not what it's about.

 

 

 

krazyfaken, i read your post. that is horrendous that they would do that. how could they let a player play for two years and then take his account away because of a misunderstood name? thats so ridiculous. if think we should rally tip.it members to send complaints to jagex because that's just way out of line.

Another great article! Thank you very much for posting it here on Tip.It.
