There isn't anyone left who can make a big clan for people to gamble in safely. Fishy's spot will turn into the above; dozens of spam bots advertising various scam fc's. Starry already sold his gold, the damage was done. Banning fishy has just opened it up for dozens of smaller fc's to have a go, and I have no doubt people will get scammed as a result of this who otherwise wouldn't have.

I suppose that Jagex getting the Pmod community involved is too much to ask for? Somebody's got to clean up the mess they left behind.

I'm prescient or something.

 

 

Let the scamming begin.

 

(That's not actually fishy, if you didn't realize.)

Jagex's auto ban system currently goes after people who auto type for the rwt sites (visit worlds 1 or 2 in the ge to see the show). There are also some pmods who pick up the slack in the system (it has on days and off days, as they introduce new methods and jagex counters). When Jagex finally decides to turn this system on the gambling auto typers as well, I think you can expect the pmods to arrive in force, just as they did when during the phase when they were given permission to attempt to take back the grand exchange.

 

If they can get it to the point where there are no reputable clans left, and its just scamming, then maybe, just maybe, they will unshackle their ban dragon and silver army.

Fishy is streaming on a new account. Mad ban is mad

Call me cynical, but after four years of Jagex doing their best to keep their 'silver army' from doing anything productive, I'll be very surprised if they let us deal with scammers.

Did Jagex say that they'd be taking down gamblers? I know that the flowers were changed in the beta.

Flowers were just changed in the beta so that people would test the content instead of gambling with toy money.

It won't port over to the live launch on the 20th, sadly.

Some still exist that are big.

Me too, but it could happen. Maybe.

Haven't you ever heard two wrongs don't make a right?

 

Trying to find some kind of moral outrage at being banned when they're the infection that is in the open sore of RuneScape... Good Riddance.

'I don't like it that Jagex is making money off their own game, therefore I must take advantage of people to make loads of GP, and then sell it for money.... yeah, that'll teach them!'

 

Most sickening part is when he said 'RIP old RS'. The biggest difference today is the community, and the most visible example of how downhill it's gotten is the gambling. He needs to take off his rose-coloured glasses and see that he (and other gamblers) is a major reason the community's different than in the past.

I'd go as far as to say that it exemplifies all of the bad parts of today's community as a whole, but that's mostly because I can't say it any better than you just did.

 

It's the same kind of bullshit that every argument for RWT is full of these days, "The game sucks so I should be allowed to make money off of it", with an added dose of spite and the inability to take responsibility for their own actions ("They banned me because they suck, not because I broke a rule that's been around for 11 years!")

i'm glad they gave us new stone bowls to carve because we wouldn't have been able to hold all of these delicious tears in the old ones

Fishy is already getting ready to open up a new fc

It's fine for them to make money off their own game. But that's not what they're doing. It should read something more like:

 

"I don't like that Jagex has obliterated any last vestiges of integrity the game had by selling people 1m xp/hr rates to use on the slowest skills, so I'm going to sell gp and let people train their buyables, because if xp is meaningless now anyway, who gives a [bleep]"

Thank goodness these morons are martyrs for our cause.

 

Wait.

 

 

No, carry on.

"I'm so sad/mad that Jagex banned me. I mean I sold some of my stuff for real cash but I only did it a FEW times, so that should make it ok. Stupid Jagex!, their game sucks anyway even though I played it for years and years, I just wanted to make sure it really was terrible..."

 

 

I work in a prison and it's kind of funny how most of the rule breakers on this game are the same as the law breakers that I oversee. They didn't do anything wrong. It's everyone else's fault that they're in trouble, blah blah blah. The bottom line is you broke the rules so you should be punished. Period.

It's the laws (rules) fault for being written that way. Derrrr

If the law was "You can't steal from people, but we can" then it might be an appropriate analogy. As it is, it isn't.

"I hate how Runescape has become"

 

"So it is my responsibility to make it worse"

 

I wouldn't shed a tear if he offed himself. If he has that mentality for a GAME, who knows what a piece of shit he must be in real life.

And how exactly are they stealing from the players when the players walk into that agreement willingly, as did Starry, Fishy, and any other banned RWTer ever did? Throwing around "RIP old runescape" and blaming jagex for what they did is the political equivalent of throwing around buzzwords like freedom and stopping terrorists to keep their approval ratings high. In this case they're using them to lessen their own blame.

 

For the record, that shouldn't need explanation. It's kind of frustratingly disappointing that it does.

They aren't stealing from the players at all. (Although with the prices they charge for their RWT options, they might as well be) I was using theft as an example of a crime to explain why the law analogy wasn't accurate. You can insert any crime you like.

They aren't stealing, but they are taking advantage of people who cannot control themselves otherwise and profiting off it. Profiting off the shortcomings of another human being. It's messed up. Not to mention the winnings are used to hurt the economy (hoarding items for merching) or facilitate rwt.

 

Sort of why dueling is also looked down upon, but at least there a bit of skill comes into effect. Also, the odds are in the hosts favor anyway.
