Alg Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You know, I've always wondered if TIF would believe a hoax like that... Being fooled by it isn't the way I would have hoped to find out. :razz: I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Somehow it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that it was a hoax given how sketchy that source is. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

stevepole Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As a side note, I was playing around with some math not long ago trying to figure out how much money is sold into this game every year by the RWT companies (my result was the volume would be in the low trillions). As far as I know, Jagex has only ever said once how much they confiscate from RWTers in their Jagex versus RWT DevDiary.During 2006, we banned bot and real-world trader accounts carrying RuneScape gold and items worth over 200 billion gp. During 2007, so far, we've banned over 525 billion, which has a real-world value of over $2.6 million US - that's an increase of over 250%. At that rate of growth, we'd be looking at banning over 8 trillion gp in 2010 - that's 8,000 billion gp - which has a real-world value of over $40 million US. It's an almost unbelievably high number, but it hammers home the sheer size of the problem we are facing and why we have to take action against it.I don't know the exact inflation rate, but I'd say since GP is 1/10th the price it was back in 06, your estimate in the low trillions per year is close. Though, that is what Jagex finds and bans, much more gets through. ~$4.95/mil? I don't think it was ever that much, but then again all I did was pk East drags back then. lolAs a side note, I was playing around with some math not long ago trying to figure out how much money is sold into this game every year by the RWT companies (my result was the volume would be in the low trillions).

Kimberly Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 [qfc]15-16-264-63957853[/qfc] Confirmed to be a hoax. Glad to hear it's a hoax but I don't really appreciate that he's trying to insult Newb by insinuating he deliberately created a hoax image, or that he's just parroting what he heard read elsewhere (consecrated pethouse). Is no one trained to be professional nowadays? Cause I was, and I'll take his job if that's such a hard thing for people to learn... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoli Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He didn't insinuate anything, he just said Newb heard it from someone else, and parroting the truth can hardly be considered bad. Jagex isn't perfect, but some people try way to hard to hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He didn't insinuate anything, he just said Newb heard it from someone else, and parroting the truth can hardly be considered bad. Jagex isn't perfect, but some people try way to hard to hate them. He implied he created the fake image and url, beyond simply saying A heard it from B. Newb would never do that. People aren't perfect but when you place yourself in a public position in any way, you get harsh criticism. Just as you implied my dislike of his actions was overzealous. You see the connection. And I don't hate you for it. Just like I don't hate him. You and I, we're just critical. Shrug it off and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well I'm relieved that they were able to confirm it's a hoax. I didn't create the image, that's for sure. Thanks for the trust, Kim. :wink: EDIT: I think it paints a rather dark picture when we can so easily believe that Jagex would do this. Hopefully it hasn't given them any ideas.

Cowman_133 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi all, I just wanted to send you some information about a “Bank of RuneScape” image which has been posted up on a couple of Fansites (Tip.it and Zybez so far from what we have found). Many of your eagle eyed community members have already noticed but I thought I would confirm 100% that this is a fake. Please do let your community know if it does happen to get mentioned on your site. Who would have thought a pet store would get used as a bank?! J Many thanks, Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
