Today, while mining in the pit south of Varrock, I had my first encounter with a somewhat hostile player. We were both mining Iron ore, however, he was becoming upset that I was retrieving it faster. He asked if we could share, and while normally I would have no problem doing so, I was very close to being able to use a Rune pickaxe so I declined politely. Needless to say, this anonymous player didn't take to well to my decision. He began threatening me with a ban from his player moderator friend. Having read over the rules, they can only issue mutes, but potentially losing my account still has me a little worried considering I've spent some time working on him. Should I be worried at all? I don't think I broke any rules. :-(

Lmfao no. You can't get banned for telling a 9 year old kid he can't have something.

 

If that were true in rs and society...hell. We'd all be [bleep]ed.

No reason to be scared at all. Noobs like this just try to scare you into thinking you're doing something wrong even though you aren't doing anything.

 

Also, as a player mod, I can confirm that

a) We are not allowed to just report because someone outmines someone

b ) You can't report anyone unless you are there, so unless his 'p mod friend' was there he couldn't do anything.

c) P Mods can't ban. We can mute, but we don't have any power over bans.

The key to keeping your sanity in this game is to remember that you do not have to engage in conversation with anyone whom you do not wish to. If you encounter someone behaving like a jerk, add them to your ignore list -- problem solved.

 

It really is that simple.

This.

Being nice in the game doesn't always work. You'll find more and more people like that....... I actually think that P2P is worse than F2P if that's where you are...... I generally have all my chats off and therefore can't be annoyed by people cept when I'm in lady h chat ;)
