Jagex has literally never removed all items from botted accounts. They remove the stats gained WHILE botting and items obtained BY botting..

To clarify, I didn't say they removed all items from botted accounts. To my knowledge, there have been instances where wealth has also been removed which was not related to botting - but sadly I don't have a source for that information, so I'll move on from that point.
We are both agreeing that wealth has been removed from accounts due to botting (and also RWT) - so why is it so impossible to imagine that they could re-introduce discontinued items from banned accounts too?

RWT is a perfect example - if someone has purchased a Pumpkin for $40,000 (ridiculous example) - and they're caught and banned, why should the person get to keep that item if they're knowingly obtaining it by breaking the rules? Why should that item not be put it back into circulation (regardless of whether the account is unbanned)?
Do the same thing over several years, and many discontinued items are 'lost' due to RWT, causing further inflation.

it's a HUGE process, there's no way they would put all the time, resources AND money into doing that, when they could focus on something better than few players crying about not being able to afford a discontinued item... I mean, you guys need to be realistic


Regardless of time, effort, money, etc. they're already looking at 'fixing' the discontinued item issue. Watch from 32:25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDnOJIxy21U

If the inflated cost of discontinued items is mostly down to such a low-supply, there is now speculation that they may somehow increase the current supply - whether that's bank bidders, or a different method - no one knows yet. But the idea is not as impossible as you're suggesting.

insted of bank bidders it should be accout bidding.

lets say you would love a fishing alt and a old bot pops up with 99 fishing insted of you just getting their items you should beable to get the hole accout this allso reduces the risk abit.

as most players will then bid a fair ammout for a new accout or alt with a skill example would be

say a bot came up for auction with 99 slayer starting price 100mgp, as a player you would see that it would cost you around 750-1bgp when bonds where 30m/pop to th 99 slayer with lamps,dummys so this then would give the bidder a decent price to go off or willing to pay then they would allso check youtube for afk skilling gp/h methades aswell say 99 slayer alt with 99 magic could make you 4-5m profit/h you would then say ummm ill pay max 500mgp for that bot as if it has complety trash on it i can afk on it and make the 500m back in 100h/ mostlikey 2 weeks.

this would be more fair as people would not bid for the bank but mainly for a decent alt accouts with a chance that they might have a jackpot on aswell.

And this would allso be a grate gold sink as evey cupple of mouths they could auction off accouts and then delete the gold it was sold for. Example ( 1k accouts sold off for a total of 500b and was deleted from the game)

we all saw the video.
I'm not sure everyone did. Jagex say in their video that they will be looking into the discontinued item price 'problem' - and yet people are saying that Jagex will not be looking into the discontinued item price 'problem'

I understand there will be people who disagree with the idea of Bank Bidders, or somehow re-introducing 'banned/inactive discontinued items' - but if the issue is such a low supply of discontinued items, Jagex don't have too many solutions to choose from.

Without removing items from specific account categories, the alternative would be to 'create' brand new original rares - but when these inactive accounts become active again, or banned accounts are unbanned again which people keep suggesting as the reason this can't happen - it'll create a different problem in the future.

RWT mules, or accounts that have purchased/sold items using real-world currency and got caught & banned should be part of the category that have those items re-introduced into the economy - if that's what Jagex decide to do.
Scammers/bug abusers could be a good category too - just because they decided to abuse bugs to gain an unfair advantage, such as staking for example - is it right that those discontinued items be removed from the game with their banned account - and do they really deserve those items which they gained unfairly, if they're ever unbanned?
