DarkDude Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I don't see why everyone was expecting a rollback, especially over something as minor as this. They never did a rollback on 6/6/06 or the mu bug, why would you expect them to do it now? ~37 minutes of free monster killing is not a minor bug. Seeing as you could also do pretty much nothing else in the game it's mad that there is no update. In the 7 and a half years that I've been playing this game this is arguably the biggest bug (up there with the duping), for no banning or roll back it's beyond stupid. I see NO logic in not rolling back, it's not as if people could have done a lot in 37 minutes as pretty much nothing was working anyway so those that lost things would most likely only be bug abusers. You think that the Falador Massacre was a smaller bug then this? Also no rollback, although people lost alot more back then. Falador Massacre was actually a very small bug blown way out of proportion, very little players actually lost items that day. Now this was up for over 30 minutes, 150 worlds, various bosses etc. per world hundreds if not thousands of bosses were killed during that time period and most likely ~100 "rare" items were bought into the game. That's huge. On top of that the game was basically broken with very little actually working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, and foremost I think, what will happen with things that were acquired through bug abuse. I logged off when first bugs were found, and personally, I vote rollback pl0x. I know it's a hard procedure that hasn't happened alot before (if it happened at all), but it's either that, or starting to mass ban bug abusers. They can't just do nothing, right? ~Prozac~ RIP my main Xprozaccx.

Falador Massacre was indeed smaller, since it hit less people; this update affected everyone, a lot more people were bug abusing today.

DarkDude Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I heard monsters were unagressive - but did they actually not fight back? Correct, nothing fought back so you were free to kill whatever you felt like without taking any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 All the monsters are aggressive to me :( Beware as they can do LIVE updates without restarting the servers. So if you are in dangerous area, things can rapidly change without expecting it. Take a word of caution, I think its best just to sit back and let them fix things before you go out and do anything. It sounds like a ghost bug. A code within the new coding that basically changes the way everything in the entire games code works. Agree'd, that's what I did ;) Hehe that kind of sucks for you :lol: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7484/090609104433.png' alt='090609104433.png'> FREEEEEEEEEEEEDOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :lol: :lol: :lol: EDIT: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: Freedom FTW :D Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 There's a difference between today's bugs and the Mu/Duriel bug though - in today's bug, nobody was unfairly affected. Meaning, if you played the game like you normally do, you'd have a normal day. You wouldn't randomly get logged off or have some guy come and kill you out of nowhere. The only people who were involved with this bug were well aware of what they were doing, and chances are they'll get banned for it. Jagex usually monitors big bugs like this very closely... take it from me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mil Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It is true that this was more a bug abuse glitch. People who are either at a advantage or disadvantage are those who abuse the bugs. For everyone else who is sensible enough, it was just a glitched game that they would not enjoy playing until it was fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagex usually monitors big bugs like this very closely... take it from me ;) Those that abused it and got something good would have most likely off-loaded the item by now and thus the damage is already done, they needed to either take the game off as soon as the bugs were discovered or rolled back. A Jagex mod posted on the forums that there will be no mass bannings, hopefully he's wrong and people WILL be banned for this. Overall in my opinion it has been handled very badly by Jagex, while not a lot of players "lost" from it a lot gained from it which is just as bad in my opinion and there's no way this can be considered a minor bug. On top of that it broke a hell of a lot of other things, taking it way above being a "minor" bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirHartlar Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 What I don't understand is why they'll ban people for abusing a bug that allows you get thousands of experience points (penguin spotting bug) but not one that allows you to get a ridiculously expensive item without any risk.

Dragonlordjl Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 So it looks like nobody will be banned and there won't be a roll-back. [kitties]! I have no respect for Jagex any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I guess I just don't see why these sorta things bother other people so much. It's not my problem if they get 100M in loot without risking anything, similar to how it's not my problem if they kill one boss just to "try" it and get banned. Seems like people only get mad when others are cheating and benefiting from it, rather than playing the game legitimately. But for me, that's just it - it's just a game, so I really don't think less of people who are breaking the rules. There's a difference between breaking the rules in a video game than breaking the law in reality. (Keep in mind I don't think it's "right" to break the rules in RS; rather, I just don't let other people's actions interfere with my playing experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonni Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 So one of the best updates of the year turns into a huge fiasco. [cabbage] happens eh I still want some sort of explanation as to HOW QA testers miss bugs such as run+eat. It doesn't say much for a now well established organisation such as Jagex. dedicate your idle computer power to a scientific project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
