Cool stuff D4. But it ignores that Japan had the same problem and the companies solved it in apparently the same way that the Chinese are looking to do.

Also, we do have information that we can speculate, but we must use our intelligence to determine the relevance of the speculation.

Id say runescape will have died just after the sun expands to swallow the earth. Is it relevant to our local (space-time) situation? nope.

What makes you say that they are 'friends' Tclcis? With all the love and loyalty and shared life that goes with that word? I have worked long term in many places of employment and despite a certain closeness I would never consider any of my former co-workers as 'friends'. They are far more likely to be mere business associates/acquaintances. Far easier to "**** over".

And I am not saying that because Jagex are jut one small company ... blah insert your quote.
I am saying that the precedent has already been set. See my example of the British company, Boots. And Boots was not the first, or the last, or the only. British law makes it entirely available for this scenario to occur, as it has already done.

No, you didn't say it's a mess. I did, because it is. Jagex themselves admit it's speghetti code (or some such similar). The fact remains hat you have no idea at all how much - or little - it would cost a team of competent programmers to learn it. You are speculating without a factual basis - which is what so much of your posting has been based on. Your opinion and pure speculation.

This in itself is fine, it's what discussion is all about. But you present your opinions as rock solid and yet have a foundation of quicksand. When presented with factual statements, you ignore or sidestep them.

Whilst I applaud your desire for nothing to change and your view of that being so, looked at through rose-tinted spectacles, you entirely refuse to entertain the possibility that things could and probably will change at some point in the future - and not necessarily entirely for the best from an end-user point of view.

"My guesswork is better than yours" is no more dignified than "my mom can beat up your dad". It's the future. It is inherently unpredictable; educated guesses are still guesses.
Speculation is in order, but don't kid yourself that your opinions have the weight of fact.

Stoat this is a measurement fight. I currently have the most supporting evidence so I am undoubtedly winning. The outcome means nothing as you said, the future is unpredictable.


Fifi, most people make friends with their work colleagues. If you are ruthless in this regard, doesn't mean everyone else is. Id be careful where the naming and shaming/defamation of people with no evidence.
Speculating that it would indeed cost a fair bit of money, and time is far different to speculating how much. Twisting words to suit your own means wont help you.

It ignores nothing. If anyone is ignoring anything, it is you who is ignoring that China is the second-largest economy (and one of the fastest growing) in the WORLD whereas Japan in comparison wasn't even relevant as a power back in the 80s, and Japan's economy has been waning for the past 20+ years.

Even then, it's not even remotely comparable to China's situation. Japan had (and still does have) a free-reign economy while China's is ruled with an iron fist (and China sure as hell isn't going to give up any reigns on their market anytime soon), so that shoots down your argument right then and there. Furthermore, Japan tried to curb their situation by increasing inter-bank lending while China is well...basically converting their currency to another (it's slightly more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it) all the while spending their reserves, which is easily the most idiotic thing anyone can do economically speaking.

Two completely separate circumstances, therefore comparing apples to oranges.

You're not very good at this, are you?

Well, yea- it's all guesses, but when the argument boils down to "my guesswork is better than yours" without any relevant evidence to support the claims, it loses cogency, and it loses cogency fast.

Really? Like what?

Data source??? (Other than your own opinion).
If you are ruthless in this regard, doesn't mean everyone else is.
If you are over-friendly in this regard, doesn't mean everyone else is either. You have no evidence whatsoever if Jagex employees are "friends" with anyone, or not. There is a big difference between business acquaintance and friendship.


Id be careful where the naming and shaming/defamation of people with no evidence.
What on earth are you talking about?? Are you seeing things??

I haven't twisted any words at all. I stated that I believe the majority of your posts to be mere speculation and not fact.

Hello, I know this is not the page to write this on but I have no idea how to use the forums as iv never used it. Id like to make a complaint about duelling and I'm sure you get enough of them, Iv been a paying member for over 10 years now and have spent over a year of my life playing this game haha god damn that's a lot, well yesterday I lost over 1bil to scammers as they was double logging in. I know its my fault and should of Checked the names but due to the majority of players there having double accounts logged in, its hard to tell who is who. I think you should follow this up as you are losing customers. I enjoy this game and have done for a very long time but due to yesterday experience I'm hugely disappointed and sorry to say bye to the game. I know nothing will come of this message as I don't feel like one person can get through to your team but I just like to express my opinion as it feels like it might actually help others from losing there items and cash. if something does come of this please email this account as I really don't know how to use forums as I have never had a problem.
Thanks.

Umm.... You cannot post quitting thread anywhere on the forums. And when a player gets scammed, it's totally his or her fault of not being careful... so.... You can't blame Jagex.
