wildy58 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi tipiters; with jagex's recent updates; it makes items alot harder to transfer; so why do we need bankpins?because if your hacked, worst they can do is use runes...? or put your stuff in drop party (which i see pointless waste of time to hack someone just to do that, unless you hate them. :evil: :evil: ) so, do we need bankpins? :uhh: :uhh: Discuss. PS: Do not call me a hacker that just wants people to remove they're bank pins! EDIT: Properly secure accounts/computers shouldn't be hacked, regardless.

The Observer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 If they like your account, they'll keep it for themselves. Or, they can just hack and ban it for pure spite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildy58 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 yea; but who hacks people just to drop theyre items in drop party? waste of time; and killerred, use recoverys.... hack and ban has nothing to do with bankpins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_odie Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 NOt only do we need bank pins we need a pin at the loggin screen. If someone hacks ur account with a keylogger. They won't know your pin so your valuables are safe. The only way that GLod traders are going to make cash now is by selling accounts. :evil: =; Dont be fooled RIP MichaelangelopolousThanks to cowboy14 for the pimp sig!

Harrington Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 RWT'ers will move onto other things, such as levelling accounts on your behalf and stealing accounts outright and selling those. We probably need bank pins more than ever now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildy58 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 if you wants your account back; 14 days to use recoverys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordwarior Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 This has been posted many times before, what was learned from those is that you still need pins. People hack just for the fun of tormenting people. They will drop stuff and/or get you banned just for fun. off topic, makes me feel like saying thanks to the tip.it mods for having to keep the forums clean :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will H Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Although I agree that hacking for profit is impossible, unless you sell the account, the vast majority of cases are when the hacker just cleans out the account by dropping the items, or tried to get the account banned. There are things which can be removed now, such as Pure Essence and a few of the more annoying variety of random events, but this isn't one of the things which is now freestanding and pointless due to the unbalanced trade update. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbzruler72 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It's already been said above, I believe. If a hacker gets on your account, he or she can drop all your items to merely annoy you. *-P.K.M-* Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be a fool, stay in school, and don't be a ...slfinifneiflin, keep your bank pin. -Man, I really do love Runescape, and I'm sure if it was a real person I would of asked it to marry me by now.

Adam007 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 My question is why don't hackers move on to other games? Sure I guess they get their weird high from hacking someone and dropping the stuff, some kind of accomplishment, but why hack on this game? There's no tangible benefit for them, so after that first hack, why continue hacking on runescape? There are other games where they'd at least get something out of it.

ElfEwin Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well since the option is there to use your bankpin or not, your choice. What would be the point in removing it from the game? Dont like it? Dont use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_M_G_Guasto Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I once hacked a RL friend as a prank, shooed away all 6 of his cats. But before that he had hacked me and stole like 5m, I got back about 2m of it. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaym112 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 im getting rid of my bank pin... if i do get hack atleast i know the person who did it wont get much of my stuff But they'll most likely drop all your items, just so that you don't get them back.

Ouchy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Even if there is no use for a bank pin anymore because of the new rules i would still keep it for security purposes. I wouldn't risk it. Sure it would be hard to drop all of my items because of their high market value but i'd rather have it just in-case some goes crazy on my account. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
