If the scores were pulled all at the same time then it does not matter how many you finished with. People abused the bug and stayed in to keep collecting and i thing those that did should be banned from future competitions. that goes against runescapes honor rule and that is unacceptable. I say we just stick with the 100 people presented, learn from this and make future competitions better from this.

if you did not make, i am sorry but your effort was just not enough. you did not plan well, that is life. I am not going to sugar coat this and be very blunt you lost and get over it.

Just to be clear, do you agree with me that only 100 players should have the title, not 102 or however many Jon intends?

no, i think that the bots that earned the title should be deleted with the title and make the title even more rare.

This is a mistake on Jagex* part, not 'bug abuse' by players. It wrong to accuse people of this. Only a tiny fraction of collectors, who have been actively following this thread, would have been aware that collecting after reset was an unintended feature.

The understanding from the newspost is that the competition runs until the event was removed. So because the event was still in game after reset, people would of course keep collecting eggs. However, the players following this thread to read that final counts would be taken at reset, would stop collecting eggs at this point.

As this is a mistake on the part of Jagex, I fully support the title being awarded to top 100 of both the reset highscore, and the final highscore, whenever the true cutoff turned out to be. It would be wrong to deprive either group of players in this situation. It is Jagexs responsibility to make robust systems and/or be more clear from the start about the time that the competition ends. Not only say it in some obscure thread where the majority of players will never see it. Would you like to be my Pet ?

I agree that it's a Jagex mistake, and I'm not accusing anyone of foul-play or cheating in the competition, but how is awarding the title to extra players making it right?

I competed because I wanted to win a title exclusive to 100 players. Why should players who did not actually win the title be allowed to keep it ? Give them some spins/membership/runecoins/runecoins/bonds/concept art/anything else and I'll be a happy camper.

That would be another solution, yes. I feel it would be unfair to take the title away from someone who stopped collecting early due to misleading information provided by a Jmod. But, they finished outside the top 100, so I understand your position. Would you like to be my Pet ?

I... I've tried to avoid complaining about how this competition was run because Jagex is pretty happy with it. Before reset, the most recent update on score was a day old, and... I don't believe players were particularly deceived.

The problem is that Jagex took a snapshot at reset and didn't account for players who hadn't logged out. We can't blame the players on that snapshot for anything as they just participated in the competition, and we can't really blame the players who didn't log out before reset because 1) they weren't told to and 2) there was no reason for them to think they should have. Some people have mentioned that they may have been able to continue collecting, and
if it can be proved
that they did, then they should not receive title. I just do not want >100 people to have the title, especially if it's under the guise of "fairness". Surely there is a way Jagex could compensate players for their mistake that does not involve leaving a title on accounts that do not deserve it.

Thank you for your reasonable feedback, Sulk. It is appreciated.

I would also like to just put out there that I dearly hope this title will remain
an exclusive title!
Not one that can be won next year or the year after,
that this title will be exclusive to Easter event 2015!!!

I really dislike when they do that to what appears to be an
exclusive title, or item. Then offer it somewhere else for tokens, keys, or available
again in another event.
Just my 2 cents.
