cotamatias Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Bug abuse is when there is a fault within the game, i.e. killing players outside the wilderness. This is not bug abuse as this spell is meant to be cast on other players. Durial is always in my heart! :lol: Qizx2- ArchmagePersonnumber100- Warlock for life.Would you?

Barihawk Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Doesn't JaGex consider that Item Scamming if you die? I saw a post on this before It's not bug abuse, but it does fall under the rule of item scamming. Regardless, Jagex has told us time and again to REPORT THESE PEOPLE. They are working in a way to inhibit your playing of the game. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuff1 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Maybe technically it's not bug abuse, but only low lifes would use it to their advantage. I haven't seen many noobs hanging around there lately. Maybe Jagex banned them or they've gone to the Abyss. If you see someone just hanging around in Dharok's (or any brother's) tomb, check your accept aid setting before fighting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbd Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It is not bug abuse, however the one time it happened to me - I was killing dharok and I had low prayer points, he had low health, I was about to click on a prayer potion and then the screen came up, so I knew if I tried to do anything I would most likely die. I could have tried to turn accept aid off, my prayer points would have run out by then, and hopefully get two low hits from dharok, but I was a low level and panicking, so I just accepted the teleother and walked back :oops: The funny thing was I was (And probably always will) using Satenza's guide for Noobes so I had nothing of worth, just monks robes, a bow and some chaos runes. So if people would go such a length just to get about 10k's worth of runes, imagine what they would do for someone who actually has armour :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuBai Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 If you get desperate just accept the tele other. Then, when you go back, turn accept aid off. Then you have no problems. You don't have to keep closing the window...you can just accept it when they tele you if you are worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomNumbers123 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 2 things 1) anybody stupid enough to leave on Accept Aid, kind of deserves it, they must have learnt to do Barrows from a friend, or a guide and they should've told them about that. 2)its not bug abuse but it is considered scamming. on my other account ages ago, i spent a day in dharoks tomb alching, people for some reason get offended by that because they think you're going to teleother them, a spell which i couldn't even do at the time. they still got annoyed, because i was a "noob" and a "scammer" when i was doing nothing ahh well i made 2m off people dieing on their own, so why would i need to teleother?

xevocm8velexx Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I wouldn't consider this wrong, if you get killed by this, it's your fault, it's like, if you get hacked and lose your stuff, except hacking IS illegal.

Saru Inc Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Welcome to Tip.it! This a very annoying tactic that people who have no lifes and no ways to make their own money. I don't know if this could be considered bug abuse but you can always ask JAGEX, there is no harm in asking... If you find this happening to you often, just turn accept aid "off". ~Saruman44 I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001.

Soma2035 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It's bug abuse, because it's an unintended action in the game that the designers did not want. Obviously, if Jagex wanted players offing each other at the barrows, they'd have allowed players to attack each other directly. Teleother spells were intended to allow other players to assist one another getting around, not to allow some less than honest folk to steal from more well-off players. Bug abuse isn't always elaborate, as in actually hacking the game. It is exploiting a loophole that isn't supposed to be there. That isn't a bug. A "bug" is an error in the programming. Like, for example adamant plates accidentally turn blue because Jagex typed in the wrong picture code, so you start selling them as rune plates while they're really addy, or a POH expels you while you're still in PvP mode, and you go PKing in falador. Exploiting a loophole is TOTALLY different from exploiting a bug. If Jagex has concerns with it, they will fix it later. For example, killing my 250k magic xp per hour trick. :( They used to allow trades to take place inside the Mage Training arena, including the alchemy room. Also, deposits granted 2 XP per gold piece. However, you couldn't bring money in. So what I did was recruited 30 alchers. They would cast alchemy, and trade me 20 gp for a nat inside. I would deposit the gp for xp, and they would get a few gp left over, with no runes used, and free magic xp for alching. Is this exploiting the way the game is made? Yes. Is it a bug? No. Jagex's response was to change it so you cannot trade in there anymore. This changed the week after I got 82 magic. The point is, just because something is abusive doesn't mean it's a bug. In all honesty, I hate this as well. But it doesn't make it a bug. You can just turn accept aid off if someone starts doing it to you. That's probably why Jagex hasn't fixed it yet.

elishot Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well I asked a mod about it once because I thought it was item scamming and i was in an argument with someone, and she said yes. But other mods have said no.. :? ..soo :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erk02 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yes, it is dishonourable and the like, but it is not bug abuse. Teleother is intended to be used there, just as it is intended to be used in any other area of RS. Exactly. I like comparing it to luring. It's dishonorable, completely legal, and is easy to do and avoid. I do English to Japanese and Japanese to English translation for free!

superson Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 this IS considering item scamming, but not bug abuse. I sent a query to Jagex a loooong time ago they said it WAS IN FACT item scamming.

xSxqPowerx Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 All they have to do is click on the wrench and turn off accept aid. Tele-other doesn't stop you from doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Either turn off accept-aid or accept their "aid." If you let them tele you out, be sure to come back and thank them for saving your life :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug abuse isn't always elaborate, as in actually hacking the game. It is exploiting a loophole that isn't supposed to be there. It's not bug abuse. Bug abuse would be something that is wrong with the game itself. You wouldn't consider people switching items right before the end of a trade bug abuse, would you? It's scamming, not bug abuse.

Teleother is intended to be used there, just as it is intended to be used in any other area of RS. Exactly. I like comparing it to luring. It's dishonorable, completely legal, and is easy to do and avoid. It's not like luring at all. In the wild people are warned that other players can attack, and kill them there. While someone just wants to relax and do barrows, they're not going to be expecting an attack from another player trying to kill them.. To the people saying just turn aid off, yes, that'll work. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still item scamming. Why is the Runescape community so messed up now days that you can't even play a minigame without fear of people trying to kill you?

sirjack Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 How is it bug abuse? I guess if you're casting a spell, it's bug abuse. :roll: "Oh my god! He cast wind burst! Ban him!" Have you ever been to barrows or read what other people said? Those Jagex people intended teleother spells to be used on other players, so I wouldn't call it "bug abuse" per se. However, it is item scamming or at least an abuse of the spell. P.S: I think they should ban anyone who could cast wind burst :XD: (Just had to say that) exactly what i was thinking. Simple fix though... accept aid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
