February 22, 200917 yr Very nice message, but sadly, most likely useless :( The only thing reporters want is sensation. Saw that in the local newspaper a few days ago aswell: Only sensation. I wonder how many messages Timmy gets in his CC/private messages. Or he keeps them on 'friends' because he's scared. I hope you receive a message back.

He's saying that Timmy played for many years so he must have been aware of the rules and you said that just because you play for a long while you don't have to be a high level.

February 22, 200917 yr Do you know the meaning of context and "text text text" (in other words sarcasm) ? He ment the opposite ... "many years" doesnt mean many years ...
February 22, 200917 yr Do you know the meaning of context and "text text text" (in other words sarcasm) ? He ment the opposite ... "many years" doesnt mean many years ... Doesn't look like sarcasm to me, since the "many years" looks more like a quote as to what was said in the article.

February 22, 200917 yr Do you know the meaning of context and "text text text" (in other words sarcasm) ? He ment the opposite ... "many years" doesnt mean many years ... It is stated somewhere that Timmy-boy has been playing for about 2 years. Though that is not many.

Doesn't look like sarcasm to me, since the "many years" looks more like a quote as to what was said in the article. Yes his grandma said he has been playing many years. [/bads]

February 22, 200917 yr Since he is level 98 and played "many years" i think he should know about rwting. :? Thinking about the fact that he RWTed he might have bought his account :-k . Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.-Random Youtuber

February 22, 200917 yr Timmy got owned. Serves him right for being an idiot and RWTing. I hope Jagex bans him. Let's see if he gets on the news tonight. I'll bring the Frosted Flakes, and if he doesn't, at least we can cuddle with Tony the Tiger.
February 23, 200917 yr there are a lot of people on here saying "who cares, it's just a kid who got hacked, drop it." this thread is not about the kid. it is about this news article inaccurately portraying runescape. they make it seem like runescape allows and openly facilitates this kind of thing, when infact we all know they've made huge sacrifices and devoted a lot of resources to trying to raise awareness and make it harder for hackers to make fake phish sites or scam other people. this news article clearly is not well researched, and it makes our game look bad. forget timmy, concentrate on the news article.

Timmy-boy started the entire uproar, so he is to be blamed. :| There are several people who have sent a letter to the reporter with their complaints.

"Devoted a lot of resources to raise awareness and make it harder for hackers to [...]"? Bull feathers. Their defense against unrelated RWT (RWT not tied to macro-ing or gold farming industries) is a rule that prohibits people from spreading website names and reiterating the same, ancient warning of "don't visit any websites" or whatnot. Guess what? Had I followed that, I would never have found Tip.It or RuneHQ. These warnings have been proven time and time again to be nearly worthless. Whilst, their defense against RWT that's causing harm to their game is to make massive game changes limiting the play style of all current players. You have an interesting definition of "lot of resources." Jagex willingly allows Runescape to coexist with Junk Trading, BH Trading, Dragonstone Trading, etc. They put little to no effort in preventing horribly miss-priced goods, as shown by the Corr. Morrigan's Javelins transfer method, or the Dragon Claws, or the Dragon Plate. They do little to rectify the situation on items that have long since existed as an RWT / trade limit bypass, Divine and Elysian Spirit Shields and 3a gear. While Runescape isn't truly as bad as the article portrays it, the article isn't that far off. Jagex could do a lot more about these situations, but they choose not to. Besides, the whole "making Runescape look bad" is already done by WoW. Better graphics, and many, many more subscribers describe the fee being thrice Runescape's. Most popular MMO in the world. And keeping that in mind, do you really think any media source would care enough to follow up on an article considering how few people would read it? Want to learn to Nex?

February 23, 200917 yr While Runescape isn't truly as bad as the article portrays it, the article isn't that far off. Jagex could do a lot more about these situations, but they choose not to. What else can they do? Make it impossible to log in to your account without a retina and fingerprint scan? Lock your bank account for 24 hours until they can prove that you're you every time you log in? Give me a freaking break. Jagex has done way too much already in educating their players about hackers, and they've done everything BUT change the BH drop system to mimic PvP worlds to stop RWT. There's already been a hell of a lot done to prevent idiots like Timmy from gaining an upper hand. There is a point in time when no one but the victim can claim responsibility for their own stupidity.

But honestly, he deserved that, he was a RWT, I'm just sick about those people buying success in game

Tackling RWTing is a bigger job than you seem to realise, and you can simultaneously have invested a lot of resources and made a lot of progress and still have a lot left to do. Don't bring WoW into this either, it's completely irrelevant. ~ W ~
February 23, 200917 yr In my eyes, this seems like a big bunch of wasted time thrown out through the window. However, Runescape does'nt mean this much to me, but it maybe does to you. Fine, not in my interest. But I see you have a very good text in there =D> (Maybe the new J.K. Rowling:P) Anyways, good luck making that guy revive his message, and make Timmy look like the victim. Also, I see we got the same thoughts about the case, but I seem too lazy and too busy to write such a good letter :) Best f2p crafter.

February 23, 200917 yr $140 = 700M back in the RWT days. No wonder he got pissed off. Back in the rwt days it was 3-5$ for 1m now it's around 10$ for 1m [/bads]
