Wow! This is really good Jagex! How you put your time out and explain too people how to be safe and secure, thank you so much! Knowing a lot of people getting hacked , this should teach them how to stay safe, and play safe.

really glad you are making sure new players are aware of security measures they can add to their account, and trying to reduce the number of people hacked

however, scamming is still a massive problem

I got scammed, reported the player, and then by chance met the player again on a different world. I asked him to return the stolen property, he refused and denied that he scammed me. I then started saying how low a life he must be to scam 10k and yes, I was rude to him.

He scammed me by asking me to buy 10k spirit shards as he had reached his limit. He asked me to buy at a higher price "to get them instantly" and said he would pay for them. I did, and he then logged off - i then sold the shards at 1gp less per shard than i bought them at and so only lost 10k.

However, I was then muted for seriously offensive behaviour and he wasn't muted (I saw him talking the next day) for scamming.

Does this seem fair? It seems scammers are getting away with scamming, and OK he scammed me 10k which isn't very much to me, but others ask for a lot more and a lot less commonly traded items as shards.



This is also a reason G.E. limits should be removed (or increased to larger amounts), because people often scam through these means. I understand that the G.E. limit means single players can't buy out an entire stock of an item and then sell them at a higher price. And I presume there would be other reasons as well. But they seem to be doing more bad than good

Why is account safety only one week per year? Shouldn't it be every day?

If you're having a ton of "hacks" lately it isn't keyloggers or phishing sites. But mere stupidity of people using the same pass on a private server as the real thing. Because over this past week one of the top 10 had a rogue admin that leaked over 50k usernames and passes linked to a certain 2006 remake I cannot name here for obvious reason.

Just a heads up to idiots that learn the hard way. Always make up a random pass for all other games you play, especially be sure never to use your real RS pass anywhere but RS.

@Cocoa Kat, That is very scary. I write down all of my security questions and answers, same for my JAG questions and answers because I noticed it asks them randomly so if you don't use logical answers that people can hack, and made up random bs for each answer - you're sol when it comes to guessing at them later.

@darkness 07, After a few years you learn not to help or trust anyone but yourself. Everyone in this game scams, especially those flower/dice hosts that buy rank for 10b just so people trust them when they get kicked out from one chat to the next.

They may claim "legit" til blue in the face. Yet they still rely on bots to spam advertise their name/livestream/chat. And it is still rigged the same odds as playing the slots at Vegas.

I really want to use JAG, but i've been waiting since September to get a response regarding an email reset. I have sent another in mid January without even a confirmation that it's been received.

I really hope that the speed of which these emails are read is increased because this really frustrating me :(
