I'll keep my, I don't really play anymore so whats the harm in having it :P?

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.

 

Another wise mind :-w

I would keep my bank pin at all times on my account. One of my accounts was key logged over the summer. I used recoveries on my account, and got it back a day or two later, but found that all the items I had equipped on my character himself had been dropped, or stolen. Luckily, I got into my bank, and not an item had been touched by the hacker. I like to think my pin was the only thing keeping him(or her) from dropping or taking all of my items.

 

 

 

To be honest, if you don't want to spend 5 extra seconds going through something that can save your items, go right ahead. I'll stick with my pins, though.

Errmm.. Its kinda your choice. Just to be safe i advise keeping your bank pin.

there really isnt much point of having one unless u have an insecure computer so just get rid of it if its really annoying you

If they like your account, they'll keep it for themselves. Or, they can just hack and ban it for pure spite.

 

 

 

They would keep your account, but all offenses by hackers can be eliminated so breaking rules is a waste unless they send in your apeals for you

Yes.. they are meant as a means to keep people out of our banks. If someone manages to get onto your account, not having a bank pin certainly won't keep a person from accessing your bank. Mine saved me once, hopefully it never has a reason to in the future.

Well some hackers will even drop fire capes and other untradeables before the update. Even though many will stop there is a chance that some will hack just to annoy. So if you feel you don't want to take that risk just use the pin, if not don't.

hey guys i haven't been on for a while.

 

 

 

What has changed to prevent hackers from stealing items? You talk as if one can no longer drop trade your items to their account, can you not drop items anymore?

 

 

 

Can anyone give me a quick sum up of whats changed to prevent item stealing from hacking?

Drops worth over 3k no longer appear. Also, you can not trade items to another account in which it will profit a range of 3-30k over the course of 15 minutes.

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: )

 

you just answered your question

 

 

 

Yeah. There are not many people like that, but they do for sure exist.

I've never used a bank pin, so they can remove them and not affect me.

Ive had this problem before. hacker got in and took everything he wanted and droped the rest. The he got mya account banned...

 

So yes we still need bank pins

 

-Haseo

 

PS-I remember seeing a topic like this not to long back...

if you wants your account back; 14 days to use recoverys?

 

They can still sell it before 14 days claiming its their own

 

actually 1 day to use recoverys. If you go onto recover a lost account, and say that someone else know your recovery Q's and you get everything right, then you can change them and it will take one day to come into effect. Been done to me, ( lost about 1mil to hacker..... :evil: ). Pc was down for 2 days, hacker changed it, and i lost my account until, many months later attempting to get it back from jagex.

 

 

 

Edit:I forget about the topic. We need bank pins b/c there is a delay limit on them, and then in the real world hakcers, can be patient for the pin to deactivate, and then they can keep the account, have a drop party, or whatever they want to do with it.

You know firecapes? Well they take awhile to get and if a hacker get's your account he'll drop that. :\

 

 

 

Same with torso and defenders.

 

 

 

Bank pin is a win.

Having a bank pin makes me feel safe at night so .. :]

 

 

 

But I guess you're right about people not being about to drop trade etc.

Well if you log in and out as much as I do, all that time wasted punching in that code can be used skilling. Once there was no way for someone to steal my stuff in bulk, the threat is pretty much over as far as Im concerned. I never wanted one in the first place and went years without having one. If your smart and dont fall for scams, click on any dangerous links and have a good firewall you wont get hacked anyway.

Hackers can drop stuff.

I think we need them all the time. cuz lets say someone logs into someone else's acc. he cant take the items. but he can make this person lose them

Well...having a pin makes your bank loot more expensive and makes you seem important :-k

So-called 'hackers' (all they do is trick you into going to a site that will give your computer a keylogger) often just want to take your account for the thrill, and will probably either sell your account or drop all your stuff if they get access to your bank.

True, or they keep the account to themselves. Pins are always gooooood to have.

pins are important its not like they take 10 min to put in and i know people would think its funny to drop all your stuff and laugh

Just remove yours, don't remove the ability to have one

 

 

 

 

 

See, I'm paranoid. I'll die without a bankpin :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

Sure, no hacking for profit. Ever heard of people hacking you to piss you off?

 

 

 

 

 

Hack the account and drop everything just to annoy him. Certain people love to see other people get angry/annoyed

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.

 

My brother was just hacked and lost most of his money (in maples).

 

 

 

short answer: freck yes
