Runescape Game Play

As a follow up to my post recently titled Jagex have sold their soul having given it a bit of time to calm down have things got better?

First of all I would like to add this picture.

This was just a snapshot of a small area, people are fighting for scamming area, I love the word legit, does that mean they are a legitimate player doing a legitimate gamble that will pay out, or will they leg-it if you win? I know which I suspect.

This is just for the flower scam, every where you go there is at least 1 scam or another, makes me think what is the point of the Runescape rules.

Should Jagex just release Runescape as a free for all with no rules and let everyone fend for themselves.

I have taken a look at the rules.

Under Honour heading

• Macroing, and use of bots or third-party software

Bots are wide spread, they are everywhere, I have reported bots and they are still playing.

• Real-world trading

Business appears to be booming for them, should they still be trading or able to get the resources to sell?

• Buying, selling or sharing an account

Loads of people selling accounts, RWT sites selling accounts,

• Multiple logging-in

I am sure it happens but unable to comment as it can not be witnesed by other players easily

• Knowingly exploiting a bug

No comment

• Jagex staff impersonation

Has happened, I have reported and I believe they were banned

• Password, account, bank PIN or item scamming

Wide spread, every town, every server, every day.

• Advert blocking

Who cares about adverts.

• Encouraging others to break the rules

Flower scam has spread like weeds, just being visible is encouraging others to try it to name just one.

 

Under the heading respect

• Discrimination of any kind, whether based on another person's race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs

I have reported racist names and they have been removed

• Solicitation

Always has always will happen

• Threatening another person, or bullying of any kind

PVP what do they expect

• Using obscene or inappropriate language

Hmmm lets remove the profanity filter and make it so they can really break this rule

• Spamming, or disruptive behaviour

Flower game 100k - claws, 500 k ags, Flower game 100k - claws, 500 k ags, Flower game 100k - claws, 500 k ags,,

• Misuse of the forums

No comment

• Asking for or providing contact information such as full names, ages, postal or email addresses, telephone numbers or bank details

Reportable and banable

• Discussing or advocating illegal activity of any kind, such as the use of illegal drugs

Reportable and ignorable

• Advertising other websites

It happens, does it get banned? probably

 

We can still report for the above rules with the exception of bots, there are so many that if you report them all you get banned for reporting for a period of time.

Jagex have made it so you can break most of the above rules a lot easier, should you be banned for something they have made possible for you to do?

DVLA in the UK sell number plates that you can make look like a names for profit, however if you space them so it looks like the name you can be fined and have the registration revoked, Jagex are not alone in doing things for profit that go against the appropriate rules.

Jagex need to review the rules to make them more appropriate for todays game play, perhaps they should just scrap rules and let anarchy rule the game.

 

When the free trade and wilderness was first announced as making a come back I anticipated it being as bad as it was before, I did not anticipate how much worse is would become.
