Also just because Jagex says something, doesn't mean it's correct at all.
Let's remember that these are the same guys that said for a VERY long time there was no breach in security meanwhile a staff-member was "hacking" billionaries on OSRS, ended up getting fired and Jagex ended up paying hundreds of billions back to the people who they had said months earlier were NOT breached by Jagex themselves.

They will say whatever makes them sound best and most in-control. Imagine they went and said "yeah our security system does not work as intended and sadly it's keeping a fair amount of our paying costumers away" that would make them look bad and frankly that's what they care about the most it seems rather than just owning up to this and communicate with us.

Would you trust a Price-checking service that has bots running in W2 advertising themselves constantly? I wouldn't!

Were you expecting sign language or something?

No. What I meant was he replied back, but he did not actually respond to the issue cause in their opinion there really is no issue, it's working as intended.

Dilbert2001 said :
You weep for a few players who hop worlds a few more times and you blame Jagex. You have the luxury of not knowing the login server attackers but you can't now as I unveiled the plain truth - the login server attackers.

While not perfect for inconveniencing a few innocent players who accidentally hopped worlds too many times, Jagex actually saved our beloved games by locking out plenty of true attackers.
Whilst I cant say that I like his attitude, Dilbert2001 is right.
Let me translate Mod Lyons post from developer language into English:
Mod Lyon said :
Hi,
To be clear, the "error" you are seeing itself, is not a bug. It is a part of our systems that is aimed at protecting itself. Legitimate players seeing it could be considered a bug, and we are aware of some players being affected.
There is a balance to be struck with security measures like this.
Not strict enough and the 'login server attackers' compromise the game.
Too strict and legitimate players cant log in.
So, to some extent, the 'login server attackers' have won since the players with this problem - who cant play - is clearly a price Jagex is willing to pay.
Hence the lack of language from any JMod except on this post.
You are not getting any replies that you consider meaningful because its working like this by design.

It is reminiscent of the their bot detection systems and the false positives they must inevitably raise. A balance must be struck.

Jagex, please sort this out....it's becoming a real problem. I hardly ever seem to be able to log on. I've been paying for several accounts for nearly 20 years. Now I can't play the game but you still seem to expect me to pay. It's getting really annoying.

So Mod Lyon actually gave a response this time over an hour later than the other replies:

"I'm not aware of anyone saying this is 100% working as intended. Obviously we don't want players being blocked from playing the game where they shouldn't. We continue to monitor and investigate where we can."

^ his latest response.
