ImDustinHoffmanIRL Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 People like Sonic wouldn't be able to play. Not fair. OT: Oh man looks like we've got a James Dean fan! Still amazed by what he was able to accomplish while only being in 3 movies. It is such a shame he had to die so young. This isn't a good idea. Banning an entire country will have mostly negative effects. I can't even imagine what it would do to Jagex's morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 thats profiling. for some reason its frowned upon.I don't see why. It works for the Israelis. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sessie Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 People should never be judged on what country they are from, but what they do. This idea will not solve anything and it is also illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlon Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 People should never be judged on what country they are from, but what they do. This idea will not solve anything and it is also illegal. It's illegal if they're banning an entire race of people (don't know how'd they do that through a game). Banning a country would just be like a tariff or something, not really illegal.

Citizens of a country aren't a race. You can do it if you want. They can refuse service to whomever they like. I'm like a hot mess, but without the alcohol.

Fools_Taco Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 What if Jagex prevented people from logging into RS from accounts in China, or known macro countries? Yes, that would ban people from playing in those countries who are legit, but kill a few for the greater good? Like, if 90% of all logged in accounts from a country were botted, then it would be a candidate for blocking. That would only work on uninformed people like you. Anyone who can create and implement an automation system to play runescape can get past this small technical hurdle you speak of. Its like locks, they only keep honest people out. It would only screw over the 10% legit players... the botters would have this beat by lunchtime. It only takes a few min to set up a proxy.

nightshade53 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 They'd just log in via proxies, which many of them currently do anyway. Was going to post this. As far as Jagex can tell, they aren't logging in from China- they are logging in from wherever the proxy is. All a China IP ban would do is stop non-tech folk being able to play.

And by targeting these people they started ignoring other groups with some among them being drug traffickers. This pseudo-racial profiling phase must have been a dream come true for drug traffickers from countries other than Nigeria. 99 farm easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jijilentosmi Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 A few states [in the United States], Arizona particularly have started to legally profile Hispanics as illegal immigrants until they can prove otherwise. It's really an act of desperation, they can't stop illegal immigration, so they resort to types of efforts that are in the grey area. I'm sure it works effectively, but it becomes a major pain in the ass for legitimate citizens of Hispanic origin. The same is true with the premise of this thread. Edit: A ban on a country would be more like a trade embargo. A tariff is set in place to promote domestic spending, whereas a trade embargo cuts off trade entirely, presumably because country A finds some reason of principality to distance itself from country B.
