Hey guys.

Apparently the glitch happened again.

And AFAIK nothing happened to the people that abused it last time.

 

And on top of that, there was another glitch that may or may not have been related to this one.

Where players could get multiple of the same aura.

These auras would not stack in your bank, and they would share separate timers.

IE 2 jack of trade lamps every 24 hours for example.

Still haven't seen anybody claim to have more than 2 of the same aura though.

Maybe this specific bug is capped at 2 of the same aura.

But, I wouldn't know personally.

 

 

 

This might just be a hoax, but it's been cited by more people than I'd usually accredit to being a hoax.

 

For a brief timeframe of a few hours, players were able to buy any loyalty reward they wanted (that they had enough tokens for)

But when they bought them, they would get an error message, no tokens would be spent, but they would get the reward.

IE all loyalty rewards valued below your total loyalty point count for free.

It was seemingly patched around midnight EST on October 27th.

No comment on it thus far from the Jmods though.

There's also a thread on the HLF citing the event as well, but I won't post that here.

Well, I'm definitely mad <_<

Frankly, though, not many of the tier 1 auras are worth having (except a few which they've probably already bought by now), but all those emotes and costumes and recolours ... eugh.

would be easy to spot the abusers so I hope jagex bans them :)

A ban would be too harsh really, its not like they got anything useful like all the good auras

Yeah, a ban would be too much, i would say get rid of all the loyalty rewards they bought and then dock a few thousand loyalty points as well or something.

 

Or for a real bad move, subtract all the points they did really spend so they have negative loyalty points :ohnoes:

This is a stupid glitch to ruin your account over.

Actually, any glitch is a stupid glitch to ruin your account over.

Why would a ban be to harsh? They abused a bug and they knew it, that should scare people trying to abuse that kind of bugs. They do it because they think they can get away with it.

Just roll them back. I'm mad cause I'd love all the emotes :P

meh i dont really care, its only emotes and costumes you will never use, as for the aura's they are useless anyway. a ban would be far too harsh

Harsh or not, banning has long been the punishment for bug abuse but it's unlikely they'll do that this time. I suspect they'll simply remove those loyalty rewards from the people who abused it.

Jack of all Trades is useless? That's like an extra set of Penguin Points a week if you use it daily. The sure footed aura with it's infinite energy and 20 minute zero fail has some benefits too. Not sure about the rest though.

 

About the bug, you'd think people would learn after the Penguin Point exploit that caused lots of bans (no rollbacks were possible at that time IIRC) not to exploit bugs that give far too great in game advantage.

Except for the cases involving clans. :P

 

Not the worst glitch if it's real but unsure how Jagex will respond since their track record is not exactly consistent.

I'm sure they could just remove all the loyalty rewards gained erroniously. Or, as punishment, remove all of their loyalty rewards. But I really don't think this constitutes a permanent ban, maybe a temp one at most.

IMO they should perm ban those that tried to get ALL the rewards, at that point they were fully aware that they were bug abusing. People that used it to get 2-3 extra items, but then stopped and realized something wasn't right with the points shouldn't be banned.

Agreed. If you just buy 1 or 2 things, you should be fine. People went and bought everything they could.

If you deliberately stood there and got items from the shop using this glitch, why should you not be banned?

i would of taken all the auras if i was getting them free. im pretty sure like 99% of people would.

That was just a clever use of combat mechanics, not a bug.

I think minimum should be to get rid of all of the items gotten for free..

 

Anyone who was super deliberate should be banned (or at least "rolled back" on loyalty points)

I wouldn't have. I would have left it and reported it to Jagex like a responsible person. I am the 1%.

They should give them Disloyalty Points.

I got that error yesterday when I bought JoT. Logged on just now to check if I had accidentally glitched without knowing it (I didn't pay attention to # of points). I had 2 of the JoT aura for some reason, but the points had been spent like normal.

IIRC you also have a silver crown to worry about :P

I'd like to see all their members rewards removed, and their total and ladder progress reset to 0. This being for the people who went for everything, not just those who accidentally got one or two free items. They should just have the items removed.

I agree with this, but I also don't think its worth losing members over either. I'd ban them for a few weeks at least, and remove their loyalty rewards. All of them.
