Gosh! Those players had played RuneScape for ages, and all their effort had gone to waste. :O Jagex, people wouldn't abused bugs, if there wasn't any bugs in the first place, yikes!
Anyways, at least that bunch is gone. If you can't be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove someone's sadness.

I'm glad you did take action, i'm tired of this garbage economy. It's funny how you exposed them in front of the whole Runescape community, I just hope to god you banned them all... If even one of the players got away with it let alone 5+ we will have problems very soon. As for the partyhats, I'm sure you released them into the Ge, But this i see one problem. It took duplicated money to buy that partyhat in the Ge, So the players who sold them the partyhats are holding duplicated money which shouldnt exist so this will effect the economy a little? If not then good. Good job Jagex, you make me happy. ^^

First off great job on these
Second, I notice a lot of people raging about bots and stuff; What I'm thinking is that they don't quite realize the problem that bots present. The bot creators continue to make new algorithms and such, and ultimately as long as there is money in it for them they will try. They will likely succeed, and from that point on Jagex has to counter that problem. Thus the bot nuke(s).
One might say "Why don't you just go to lrc or some high bot place and just use the banhammer on them?" The problem there is that Jagex needs to detect botting software or something to be justified in banning someone or rolling back exp. Someone could just be afk or have public off or coincidentally be wearing the d med and legs with granite plate set up. Now, most of the time this isn't going to be the case, but they can't take peoples' word for it whether they are botting or not either. They have to know if they were using a botting program.
Also, exp exploitation isn't quite as critical as gp exploitation BECAUSE gp bugs have the potential to affect a LOT of people for every abuser (putting 800b or so in to the economy can have significant effects), where as exp bugs and botting only make some accounts higher level than they should be, thus only really affecting the individual account that is botted on. Sure, they might get maxed combat and have better pking stats or something, BUT they will be facing mostly people with the same stats, so they don't really have an "advantage" so to speak against other players their level. They should still be banned imo.
Frankly the only solution to removing bots would be to put captchas on everything, but that would make the game unplayable so no. Until then they have to deal with them on a problem by problem basis; trying to tackle all potential ways to bot at once would be virtually impossible.

all these people agreeing with Jagex' actions...
These people aren't cheats - these people are the clever ones that are able to find and exploit game errors.
If everything introduced to the game was fully bug-tested before being released, these problems wouldn't arise, so i say fair play to them.
Also your kinda contridicting your actions, from the RoW bug, where multitudes of players gained hundereds of millions from Corp Beast.
If they were allowed to get away with it, how is that fair to these players, who might have assumed it to be fair-play, due to your actions that time around.
I really don't see what they've done wrong - they've just found a money-making niche in the game and exploited it. Your mistake, you fix it, its not their fault you put this into the game, they are just taking advantage of the situation you've placed them into.
