REAL WORLD TRADING
Real World trading (RWT) means buying or selling in the real world, for real money, things that relate to Jagex accounts. This includes:
In-game items
In-game Gold (GP)
Account names
In addition, paying someone to play your account for you is covered by this rule.
Everything in RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, including the account(s) you use to play the game, are owned by Jagex. Players are given permission to use these accounts by Jagex. However, Jagex do not give permission to anybody to sell or buy things that relate to Jagex accounts.
People who sell items or Gold (GP) often obtain them by:
Cheating or macroing, often known as ‘botting’
Hijacking (also known as 'hacking') other players accounts and taking their items
If you buy things from Real World Traders, you are also encouraging cheating and account hijacking.
People that sell game items, Gold (GP) and account names for real money are breaking the law. You can’t be sure that they will keep your information safe or even provide you with the things you have tried to buy.
If you provide them with payment details they may use your details to make purchases without your permission - also known as 'fraud.' If you provide them with personal information
(this means any information that could be used to identify you in the real world, including your name, date of birth, email address, user name, login details, etc.)
they may use that information without your permission in the future.
There's no need to flag an account. Accepting money or passing through, money obtained by RWT will result in getting you banned as The RuneScape Community have been warned long enough to stay away from RWT.
The '
Rules of RuneScape
' are pretty clear about that, RWT.
