consider what COULD happen. this is a great risk you are taking. some scenarios:
-RuneScape will get better!
yeah, always an option. in my eyes unlikely, but never excluded.
-RWT will increase.
in this scenario the following will happen:
1. RWT sellers plant bots. then, they pump the obtting money in sell account. some of their bots get banned, but their selling accounts pile up money.
bad effect:
-more botting.
-prices of raws get down, due to increase of botting. this, and this in important, makes that legit players make less money.
2. advertising accounts offer RWT to players. those, too, get banned, but reach many people, like the current advertisers for merchclan, but worse.
bad effects:
-more spamming.
-more RWT
3. RWT clients (which will always be there) buy the money from the sell accounts. next, they get millions of gp. a few get bannned, but it's hard, as you know, to make the difference between RWT and a quitting player giving money to his still playign friend.
now, here it gets complicated. due to the increase of bots, the money making methods get less money-making, as they are botted. you notice it now on a smaller scale. so, legit players get it harder to make money.
RWT clients get richer, as they buy money.
these 2 mean that RWT clients get rich, while legit players get it harder to make money. who will be the remaining to buy expensieve items? yep, the RWT clients.
as bottign increases, legit players will have a hard time to get their fair millions. so what will happen? they either buy their millions and become RWT clients, or quit the game. remaining: RWT clients who are rich, some struggling fair players, and bots who collect materials.
bad effect:
-didn't I explain enough?
these are 2 scenarios. and don't forget problem like scamming and such. those are well-known and are not the main problem, so I will not discuss them. a bit you own fault, really.
JAGEX, do you believe you are strong enough to fight scenario 2? if yes, go for it.
