January 30, 200917 yr I highly doubt anyone even got over 20 M cash doing this, let alone anything over 50 M. As said before, you get 6.5k per point. By guessing that this applied to the bug too, the telescope thing and cheering emote will activate every time you spy on a penguin. Meaning you'd probably only get 1 point per 10 seconds (from what I've heard it was the Eagle's Peak penguin). In one hour of clicking non stop you'd get: 6 x 60 x 6500 = 2 340 000 (coins) Though you'd have to cash them in often, since you can only hold 50 points at a time if I'm not mistaken. Unless this bug ran for many hours, you wouldn't get as much to afford a GS. Maybe Bandos. How long did this thing last? But yes, it's very unfair towards honest players that people could just earn EXP like this. Permanently banning these people would seem a bit too harsh, because they were tempted into doing this. A better solution would be a rollback and ban them for a month or something. Yet another big Runescape scandal though. From what I heard there was no delay between each click, you could just click 50 times as fast as you could. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.
January 30, 200917 yr I personally believe zero tolerance for exploiting something like this, if jagex allows people to get away with this again, because i know bugs like this have happened before and people have gotten away with it then, they may aswell make macros legal, if this bug is fair and they want to promote cheating then they should compensate the people who didnt abuse the bug, i know a few people who jumped alot of xp yesterday that isnt possible so i'm keeping an eye on those people and if they don't get banned it shows how the rules are bent. Scenarios such as my 7.6 blackmarks for not doing anything close to this yet people who exploit a serious bug, enjoy your xp and no black marks, thanks for the "special" treatment. I seriously hope they track them and make it front page news saying this is what you get step in line we dont want to see it again. Jagex have seriously CABBAGED up on a few occasions already this year, making 30m a day off flatpacks for fremmy diarys, now this, jeeze test your content. Q.Q I take it back now they're looking into it though :thumbsup: that was beforee :P
January 30, 200917 yr The abusers need to be perm banned, even the ones who 'only' earned 500k xp, without exceptions. A quick question: Was everyone able to do the bug? :ohnoes:
January 30, 200917 yr Since we're not sure how long it lasted and the circumstances (like delays between clicks), we can look at this another way: The highest we've seen so far is a guy who got 3 mil EXP, and a few close to 2 mil EXP. If those points were traded in for pure cash instead, that amount wouldn't even have reached 10 mil. So it's not as big as we first thought it was.

A quick question: Was everyone able to do the bug? :ohnoes: Thankfully, it only worked with random people. But there were still plenty of em. There was a tipiter in forsakenmage chat who managed to get 3k penguin points. So there are more than one person who can get past the 3m mark. Hope they all take a ban for that, there's no excuse to be let off free. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

Yes, I guess I was a bit too hopeful of having a way to see if Jagex really does ban everybody they know is a bug abuser or if they are all about short term profit. The person who showed 97M and said he got it from the glitch was probably lying or by far the biggest abuser of this bug. I think the video on the second page might show the spying delay. I watched it late yesterday when I was already quite sleepy, but I think it showed the player using this glitch. For me it says that the video is not available in my country right now.

OT: Haha just watched the video and saw Mr. "The Jagex Conspiracy Theorem" thread mastermind say "The Penguin Is A Nuclear Bomb, Run" at 1:46 :lol:
January 30, 200917 yr Never even spied on a penguin, all you evil penguin spies should leave the majestic penguins in peace! What have they done to you? It looks like jagex finally did something right. Save the small critters!
January 30, 200917 yr :( i think i just got forum pwnt but no i didnt do pengs was to busy failing at pvp drop trick (yes it is legitimate i dont care what people say) but i never do pengs anyways on a wednesday for obvious reason #1 ALL PENG CC ARE FULL i just got a pm about it (how a learned about it but didnt do it) from a certain tifer "i haz 3k+ points" no names lol cheating is cheating ya i get that part tbh it seems like doing that glitch took to much effort u have to go back and forth but ya hope that answers your qestions and get lost grammar trolls You can't honestly be serious? You're saying they shouldn't be banned because the glitch to to much effort to abuse? Wow. You have to go back and forth and gain alot more exp doing so than you would doing the skill normally. They should be IP banned, if you ask me. RIP Michaelangelopolous
January 30, 200917 yr they better be banned...even if it wasnt schemed...think of fally massacre do you really thiink duriel321 woke up one morning said lets boot everyone outta the house and kill some people outside of the house? no they were banned without a thought of "what would you do in that situation" therefore they should all be perm banned /ip banned EDIT- to get 97mil u need to get 15k points :shock: 1100 total achieved 03/02/09 880thousandth to reach it :P1200 total achieved 29/09/11 1.23millionth to reach it :P

So it's come to this now? We must line up to condemn the perps in order to solidify one's own innocence? You make me sick. You honestly don't knw who you're trying to protect then. You're trying to protect CHEATERS. Definition of a cheating: Cheating is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others.[1] Cheating implies the breaking of rules. The term "cheating" is less applicable to the breaking of laws, as illegal activities are referred to by specific legal terminology such as fraud or corruption. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity. Now, what is there that you don't understand? RIP Michaelangelopolous
January 30, 200917 yr We are not arguing about whether they cheated or not. At least I am not. We are arguing about degrees of punishment. Now, what is there that you don't understand?

January 30, 200917 yr A temporary ban would be useless because after a while they'd just get their accounts back with little to no loss. I think it should be a perm account ban but not an IP ban. They should have every right to start over and do everything the hard way from scratch. Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig!
January 30, 200917 yr And when we do see who gets punished and who doesn't - and you see my name isn't mentioned, I expect a public apology from you on this board. Lol, you think you're the president or something? You won't get an apology. If you could read correctly I did say "My guess is you abused the bug". Keyword: Guess. I've no evidence that you did do it, but trying to protect cheaters isn't good. RIP Michaelangelopolous
January 30, 200917 yr i still don't get why you think they shouldnt be perm banned and who would apologize about something as stupid as an accusation (i think its funny that you're taking this so seriously, relax dude its the internet) and fyi a LOT of people DO go and fight each other in POH dungeons :wall: edit-i bet you probably think Carl and I abused it aswell don't you? 1100 total achieved 03/02/09 880thousandth to reach it :P1200 total achieved 29/09/11 1.23millionth to reach it :P
January 30, 200917 yr Think I got banned for getting 15 points of penguins.. Only time will tell getting 15 points isnt abusing...thats how many points you can get ina week its the people who gained MILLIONS of xp from penguins in 1 day 1100 total achieved 03/02/09 880thousandth to reach it :P1200 total achieved 29/09/11 1.23millionth to reach it :P
January 30, 200917 yr Think I got banned for getting 15 points of penguins.. Only time will tell mod poopy did say she wouldn't have the kids who clicked a couple times banned. 2nd troll to 840+ post count.
January 30, 200917 yr Musky didn't abuse the bug, I'm not sure if he was even aware of it. One of my friends and 3 of his friends have also been disabled, my friend didn't even do penguins. All acc's disabled will be reviewed on Feb 2nd, atleast according to the 5 people that I've got the info from. RIP Michaelangelopolous
