Isn't it still possible for players to host h/c, but with using trade? I mean for example host has 25 random items lets say copper ores, 1 space for cash, 1 space for mithril seeds and one empty space. So host can show a gambler that he has only 1 free inventory space, gambler chooses the color and host shows the color after picking up the flowers in trade menu. Is this far fetched?


Could be abused though. You could get your friend to stand on top of the guy that is playing and trade him to swap out flowers before showing the guy playing... and either way, you will and can be reported.

Excellent move, getting rid of flower games will certainly fix a good part of the community.

With this new report option though, i dont talk in game unless i need to, does this mean people can report me thinking im a bot, while really i just cant be bothered to talk? Ive also got the feeling some little kids are going to report everyone just for the lols.

Finally dealt with :) . Fixing the gambling issues was a definite necessity. It was killing the game; devaluing it for players who had earned their income legitimately (much like bots devalue it too), the economy was a mess; high-profile gambling hosts and their respective clans had major economic influence through the GE (like the scamming-type merchanting clans that existed a while back), due to the billions-worth of cash they had hoarded, and this large cash hoarding meant that many goldfarmers actually began hosting, and let's not forget that most of the accounts sitting there hosting were playing off bot scripts.

Let's just hope that if a new method for gambling does get discovered by hosts (this has already happened in the past), that Jagex will react quickly to resolve it.

Thank You. To be honest, Runescape isn't fun when people gamble, this is a game where we, as players can have fun. This update not only reduced the chance of getting scammed, but managed to restore some peace. Once again thank you and feel free to pm me if you need any help :)
