Mass banning for penguins?

[Madmanpur3]

The decision everyones been waiting for:-

 

I wasn't waiting for it because as I've been trying to explain, there's no reason we should care. And the fact that they publicly announced all that tells me they want to be seen as the 'heroes' moreso than as people who are doing what they are suppose to do. Meh, but I guess why shouldn't they...most of rs falls for it anyways.

 

 

 

Sometimes I seriously wonder if you guys applaud the person selling you a candy bar at a convenience store.

 

Then again that'd be pretty funny tbh

Do you know or even realize why a Legitimate player cares.It's because ANYONE who plays FAIRLY and SLOWLY GRINDS out the levels to get to the better MONEYMAKING skills would feel very much cheated if another player ABUSED a "BUG" to gain "EASY XP/LEVELS" and thereby better MONEYMAKING methods without putting in any effort.

[Gribbzldinho]

I for one am glad Jagex made it public. It affected thousands of players, and people wanted to be informed of the outcome.

 

 

 

Funny how just last month, everyone complained that Jagex kept matters "secretive" and that they should inform players on certain matters.

Lol, the accounts that got banned for only a few hours get a month of membership for free. :lol: :lol:

 

You spot a few more penguins than normal, but not enough to be doing serious damage so you get 4.60 free. Genius.

 

 

 

Another problem that's now arose is some members being banned for 10 days for autoing :?

 

 

 

I know of two friends now that have gotten a 10 day ban for autoing which they never did. #-o :wall:

I wonder if it'd be safe to do Penguins tomorrow. Hopefully the glitch that wouldn't let a lot of people do this week's Penguins is fixed by tomorrow when it resets.

I think it's pretty much impossible that the same bug occurs twice. Next to that.. just don't abuse it when you do encounter a bug?

[Musky44]

Apparently, people are getting a month of members for being unfairly banned.

 

I, myself, got a free month.

Well I don't personaly care (aside form some feelings of huge injustice in general during the bug), many players DO care for good reason. Jagex already said it, there are players who play purely to get a high score, and having players gain massive ammounts of xp in skills like construction, summoning, herblore, prayer, etc. is just a great big [bleep] you sign. This is the real life eqivalent of performance enhancing drugs in pro sports. Not everyone who plays baseball is competative so alot are not personaly affected by steriod use. But the ones in teh pro legue who do it for a living damn well better care if someone else is dopping becuase it affects THEM personaly too.

 

 

 

If your competing for a high score spot, and you lose a bunch of ranks as a result of this, you have been affected, and so it is definatly resonable that you should care about the issue.

[me]

In my book a good announcement from Jagex there.

[Danqazmlp]

I think those bannings are WAY too lenient.

 

 

 

250+ for perm ban only, thats way to high, anybody who cashed over 75 knowingly abused the bug, and would have had to go back after maxing their points. I personally think, around 100+ should have got perm banned, 50-100 temp banned for a month.

 

 

 

I'm wondering how long the temp ban is, but to be honest, i dont see a temp ban as a punishment at all for those who abused the bug, they don't care enough about their accounts not to risk getting them banned and forever scarred with 'bug' stats, so why would they care if they cant play for 1-2 weeks?

The whole "devaluing achievements" argument is utter nonsense. I'm sorry, but it is.

 

 

 

- Jagex releases a new way to train which is faster than before. Isn't this a, as you put it, "great big [bleep] you sign"? You just spent all the effort getting 99 in thieving and pyramid plunder comes out making it look like a joke? You cooked each lobster on your path to 99 cooking, 2 clicks at a time and lighting your own fires, and cook-x and rogue's den arrive the next day?

 

 

 

- You spend hundreds of hours slaying steel and iron dragons hoping for a good drop, and finally, after 5,000 kills, you get a visage. The moment after, the level 70 next to you get one?

 

 

 

- You spend weeks saving up money for ice bursts for summoning charms. When you get there, you find a level 20 lootsharing with a level 130 rich friend who doesn't mind spending 50M to give his/her friend free charms. Isn't this also one of those "great big [bleep] you sign"s?

 

 

 

Hard work =/= accomplishments in Runescape. Some people get it easy, some people don't. If you play purely to get a good score, and a small amount of players getting ahead of you thanks to a silly bug like this bothers you this much, then you really shouldn't be playing at all. The real problem has nothing to do with scores. The problem is the same reason there's a whole thread of slayer elitists going "OMG JAGEX IS GONNA NERF SLAYER THE WORLD'S GONNA END!" Or why the term "PC Product" was coined.

1.This wouldn't or shouldn't bother any player with some kind of maturity since it reduces the mindless/endless clicking that can lead to repetitive strain/stress injuries.

 

 

 

2.All luck again nothing that should upset anyone with a little maturity.

 

 

 

3.Actually not IMO since it's simply some friends working together.

 

 

 

4.You're right the bigger issue is the "Bug abusers" get to levels that can earn them better RS Gold without putting in the work that a legitimate player did.

 

 

 

Too bad jagex didn't name and shame the "Cheaters" that got perm bans.

Yeah same here.Three of my friends have, and i have been also hearing about people getting bans for autoing lately.

[HugeBrain]

I have a question. If for example your gertajjers or whatever is the number 1 guy and you get banned, are you still number 1 in the high scores until someone beats you? if you super autoed and got 200mxp in every skill would you be listed in the high scores? do accounts with perm bans show up in the high scores?

 

 

 

P.S. Check out my sign thread and share your thoughts.

No when you get banned you get taken off of the highscores.

I didn't say it "upset" me. I'm saying that there's no more reason for you to be upset by bug abusers than extremely lucky players. After all, they have the same result in the end.

 

 

 

If I spend 100 hours at GWD without a drop, and a first timer in welfare gear spends 10 hours, and he makes a massive amount of cash off of four hilts and a few other items, while I go dry, I accept it, because all in all, it's luck.

 

 

 

Just like if there is a bug and someone makes 200M while I've spent my time making nothing, I accept the fact that what he does really has little to no effect on me. Dozens of things done by players and Jagex alike have the same result. I would like the cheater banned, yes, but going out and posting "OMG Y R DEY NOT BANNED!" is going too far.

 

 

 

Unless, of course, he made this 200M by killing my best friend via a bug and somehow got his items. Then of course I'd complain, but at that point, it has affected other players drastically, and may have a great impact on me as well.

 

 

 

The bottom line is, devaluing achievements happens anyways. There's no reason to fuss about that. If someone's guilty of bug abuse, that's between the rule breaker and the rule creator, and any parties directly, or nearly directly involved.

Nope. That's actually handy because if you want to find out if someone's banned, check them in the highscores.

Yup, Jagex really messed up somewhere.

 

 

 

And musky, it says on the post from the J Mod that people that were banned for 3-4 hours get a free month (HAHAHA!)

 

 

 

Friend had his appeal denied after appealing the 10 day ban for autoing, which he didn't do. Stupid Jagex. :|

No - it says they get free members credit. Probably an extra day or something added on.

[Soupy17]

Im disgusted that many people who got over one million dirty exp are unbanned.

That many?!

[Madmanpur3]

Im disgusted that many people who got over one million dirty exp are unbanned.

 

The most 'dirty' xp someone could've gotten without being perm banned is 613,800.

 

 

 

Also, I'm 'disgusted' at how many people sincerely care. Fact of the matter is, there's plenty of players who aren't banned that have used a macro or real world traded - and the ironic part is that you don't care about those players. Wanna know why? Because it doesn't affect you in any way. You don't know they broke the rules, to you they are just another player and if/when the time comes that JaGex does ban them, justice will be served...to them, not to the rest of us.

Jagex have advanced ways of seeing if people are autoing.

 

 

 

They won't just look at a report that shows you not talking to anyone and decide to ban you for 10 days.

 

 

 

Your friend probably was autoing.
