Account protection is good. But the recovery of accounts is still a lot of work needed.

Im trying to recover one of my first accounts for almost 10 years now. I have the login and pass but the account is locked..

My recovery questions: Not that easy to remember after 10 years. When you made them as a 12 year old.

Détails like whats ur subsciption pins? After 10 years really long gone.

Whats ur internet provider when you made your account (I didn't know what an internet provider was in the day just that I could play the game).

Another pain is contacting Jagex through mail. They straight up refer to those same old recovery questions or a list from 100 previous asked questions. And you should be able to provide other proof of ownership.

Funny thing is, while they're TRYING to improve on their SECURITY, which should HAVE BEEN DONE LONG AGO, they are still okay with 3rd party clients risks.

The logic doesn't add up.

Proves how much it's just a publicity stunt when enough people wants it. If nobody raised this issue, they probably wouldn't come across in their mind to do this.

The logic is quite simple. Here, I'll help you out:

Proportion of people hacked because they didn't keep their shit safe: 100%
Proportion of people hacked because of Runelite: 0%

Cry all you like about 3pc, they aren't the source of all of these account breaches. Players being completely incompetent in how they handle security is the root of all of these problems, and while Jagex are improving their systems to keep their players happy and retain them as customers, blaming Jagex for player stupidity is... well, an example of player stupidity.
Anyone requesting updates to make ironman easier should be renamed wannabe-man and have their ironman icon replaced with a dunce hat.

It's my turn to say now. Maybe you should take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror.

Ask yourself " Why am I saying that Anyone that wants catering to make ironman easier should be renamed wannabe-man and have their ironman icon replaced with a dunce hat." when the usage of 3rd party clients has made the game more than easier to communicate and navigate, inclusive of ironman"

I shall rest my case here.

Yes, 3rd party client is not entirely the source, but remember, it is possible

Sometimes account hijack can possibly happen because it is kept hidden from the radar, and also back up by the fact the client is heavily supported by playerbase, no doubt that any small suspicion against the client is forcibly dismissed. This is the default human nature, this is a human nature's blindspot.

Do not be complacent, you need to accept it is a risk. Sometimes, a person in a car doesn't know if he's getting T-Boned by a 5 tonne vehicle only until he wakes up confused in the middle of the wreck, not knowing if he is dead or alive, just blank and stunned. Thing can change very fast the next second.


If people reuse same log-in details, compromised accounts, not using authenticator, not using bank pin, any of the above (including private emails that nobody knows), in this case it's natural selections since even stronghold of security is not even taken seriously anymore

This actually reflects on Jagex's decision making and it's priority. The fact that this blog only came now, is not surprising to be honest, since the core of every decision is simply, to put it this way... $$$

This is the truth you have to accept for the company you're supporting because of the asset,which is the game that you seek pleasure playing

So you're fine with the thing that causes thousands of people to get hacked (which Jagex are trying to fix), because it's natural selection.

But you have a problem with something that hasn't caused anyone to be hacked (therefore doesn't need to be fixed), because it COULD happen?

Yeah, sorry, you're full of shit. Desperate to twist anything and everything into an attack on Jagex.
