We will maybe let you know when we will be talking about Twitch Play, we dont care about that on this thread.

Neither do we care about non-existing "division" of players in this thread as everybody will be playing in the same servers before and after they return. A Community Divided is not in the roadmap of RS3.

If u dont care about the threads main topic leave it, we dont want to hear Twitch Prime stories either, the last thing we need in a thread regarding the divided comunity is a derailing off topic troll.

I am already clearly telling everybody who can see with their very own eyes. There is no division of the community as everybody is playing in the same worlds making the same old and new game progress.

Indeed everyone must have the same chance to progress and get items, further proving my point that adding some cosmetics that only a select few got access to divides this community further.

I personally love unobtainable cosmetic items and feel as if the reward is justified. To be honest you all did have an opportunity to have your accounts locked for over a month. In my opinion its like a dice roll on DnD. Some people were unlucky enough to be in that 1% or so players who were locked out, or lucky you could say in that we obtained a special cosmetic. Everyone who was playing prior to the incident did have a chance for their account to malfunction. So I would consider this similar to the raffle rewards in that aspect.

As a customer of Jagex, who was affected, I am thrilled to see that they are going out of their way to make things right. I feel as this is fair for the reasons i stated above. What would be wrong is to NOT give the affected players reimbursement and compensation. If that would have happened I would not play again. It did not so I will continue to play.

Thanks for reading!

I do support the fact that players who were not able to play must get some sort of compensation for what happened to them, however getting something exclusive(maybe for the time being) compensates for what happened to you while discriminating the rest. This is basically a problem derived from another problem, typical to jagex. In my case alone, its not about the cosmetics-i dont even like them from what ive seen-but about the way jagex generates more problems in an unethical way.

I'm glad to see that you're happy and I hope you'll get your account back completely soon. I also think affected accounts (not me btw) should be heavily compensated for having been locked out this long AND not knowing whether or not your account will be restored. For someone who has played 15 or more years, I could imagine that being the biggest concern.

I still think exclusive rewards are the wrong way to go at it though. The bug is certainly not a cause for celebration, especially for those affected and especially not something to commemorate by immortalising it with exclusive titles and stuff.

People here in this thread have said that cosmetics don't affect gameplay, so it shouldn't mean anything and that's exactly my point. You affected deserve more tangible rewards that DO affect you, because being locked out affected your progression in every way. Cosmetics do not make up for that and on top of that, it alienates the rest of players who have been on the sidelines hoping for a swift solution, because RS has been dead since this started. This tragedy affected us all!

So what I mean is, no compensation for those not locked out, obviously, but don't go playing favorites by bribing those affected with shiny rewards that don't actually help their progression in even the slightest and shoving the rest aside. The only thing that can come out of this is backlash and there was no reason for it to be like this.

The fact that Jagex, a company not exactly born yesterday, didn't see this coming, truly baffles me. Make it right. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

Why are you jealous when there have been many occasions unconventional titles like the Philanthropist and some others that were auctioned to players in Gamblast events and such?

Exactly.

If those ppl can have exclusives, why cant we?

Love how ppl pick and choose what they want to complain about.
hmm no complaining here, maybe projecting? Buy Zemomarks / Chromatic Partyhats safely here

Nah theres obviously a lot of complaining going on here.

Just read the post above yours.

Lots of "i dislike this due to being unfair" or "jagex need to give me more stuff i dont deserve".

Please go troll somewhere else, mate. If you have nothing to add to the discussion here, don't add anything. Pretty sure you've been told many times before, so I'll wait for a mod to remove this off-topic, antagonising junk you keep posting.

If you want to contribute to the discussion or counter someone's argument, then do so and attack the argument, not the player. Saying someone is complaining or that you think what they say sucks is neither constructive, nor does it add anything of value. All it does is taunt the other player into responding in much the same way, which will derail the thread. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

I am against these rewards as well.

1st - The majority of the locked out players don't care about exclusives, they just resent missing a lot of time and a bunch of time locked content.

2nd - People who DO care about these things, such as me and the creator of this thread, are locked from obtaining these rewards forever.

3rd - This just creates yet another reason to sell/buy accounts. Maybe not now, but who knows in a few years from now when these become rare and prestigious.

Before anyone asks, yes i'm against any other exclusive rewards, such as those auctioned titles and RF exclusives.

Again, your comparison is completely invalid. Everyone had a chance to attend Runefest. It wasn't locked to specific players. Everyone had a chance to bid on the titles, not locked to specific groups. You are not special because you didn't get to play. You should not get a special cosmetic. It should be available to everyone. Even if the rest of us mere mortals have to pay for it or do something ingame for it. You are entitled to nothing, and the fact they even give you free membership for this should be considered a blessing.

Who said everybody has a chance to attend Runefest? There ae plenty who can't even go to London due to their countries policies. Again, not everybody has a chance to bid on items for charitable items. Residency among other regulatory restrictions prevent a lot of players to participate in such events.

Runefest is an announced event, its not spontaneous. You have about one year to get ready to go and attend that event. If ppl really want they can go to Runefest( I also would like to mention that Runefest was an event that took place before the pandemic situation-so no country leaving policies or w/e, further supporting the fact that players who really wanted to attend that event could have been there). To some going to Runefest is a more difficult than it is to others, but the power to decide to attend that event is in the players hands.
