In circumstances such as this, we would of-course do everything we can to assist any of our players get their account back. Although bonds, and other items, can be seen as having a perceived value, they do not have an actual real world value. All items are the property of Jagex at all times.

Ultimately you are responsible for the security of your account. If you have followed all of the recommended security steps, including setting up Jagex Account Guard, the likelihood of this kind of attack taking place is very rare.



He was saying hypothetically, but I think it's safe to say that anyone with any common sense would have enabled JAG by now, but that's besides the point.

The item is always owned by Jagex, but now that Bonds have been introduced to the game all items in game have a real life value . This was the main reason the items in previous court cases were not returned, because you could not establish a real life value. Though seeing as Jagex owns all items, the hypothetical hacker who somehow managed to steal 100m from a player, has actually stolen £50 from you, Jagex, and has therefore broken real world laws.

The point is: you are defining items with real world value, and therefore making it a real world crime to hack or scam someone in the game as it is now defined as theft.

These bonds confuse me.. You buy them in the shop with real money but you can trade them as well? O_o

Won't bots just farm money to buy them and sell these things together with gold?
I'm confused.. I don't see how it would stop gold farmers.

It amazes me how gullible and dumbed down people are to fake statistics and out right lies. People... 40-50% of the people weren't rwting at whatever point they want to tell you... Lets see the proof. Thats like the leader of your nation saying well 40-50% of our people have bought illegal mortgage bonds so lets just make it legal and all do it. Its doomed to implode irl and in game. You people should get off this game and go learn real life propaganda, advertising, and economics in general (and not the bs they teach you in college) but real econimics. Sure this may be all flowery at the surface but wait and see ;) Go take a look at what "bonds" did to America or any other thing that they touched. This will not only affect the in-game market but also the irl one aswell.


Whether or not the statistics are accurate is not the issue. Mod MMG has confirmed to us that the cheating was tolerated and thus condoned by Jagex creating the current situation.

I am hoping, from this point forward, when an account is detected to be buying gp from RWIT sites that they have double the amount of GP removed from their account, along with all items purchased since the trade, and an XP rollback to boot.

Why should a legit player want to continue to play RuneScape when Mod MMG himself does not care how legit players are placed at a disadvantage.

if this is to help stop people from botting , why not allow p-mods , to mute any spam bot too ,
not just website advertisers

any software that gives an unfair advantage may not be used


looks at yanille house portal zone -- pay auto-typers to spam advertise ( not fair to hand typers )

I would like to see an official j-mod respond to this


finally i've been waiting for someone else to have the same idea about pmods

I really do believe this will basically make gold farmers go out of business. It just doesn't make any sense to buy gold and risk your account getting permanently banned.

So, you're telling me BILLIONS of coins are injected into the economy each day by bots and its hurting the economy, but the BILLIONS of coins brought into game each day by squeel doesn't hurt? Thanks for some more logic JamFlex.
