I can see that this has attracted a lot of attention, so to clarify:
The rule has not changed, and as MMGs comments suggest, these days we apply the rule with a common sense approach (as we do all rules). If anyone is multi-logging and transferring wealth, this will attract our suspicion, and the accounts involved will be investigated. If there is nothing untoward in how that wealth was generated, then we will take no action – if, however, any of the wealth was generated through any rule breaking activity (e.g. gold farming, botting, RWT), then we will take action against all accounts involved.
From the player perspective, the same common sense rule applies - if you think that you might be breaking a rule, or what you are doing is not in the spirit of fair play, then you are best off avoiding it as this could result in action being taken against your account.
We don’t want to stifle genuine game play, and we hope you’ll agree that this approach is best for all.
This to me translates to the following;
1. Yes its still technically against the rules
2. No we don't plan on actually enforcing this rule for the every day player, we have better things to do.
3. If we find that you are doing it to launder ill gotten money then yes we will do something to you.
4. Yes we have ways of knowing.
Summary of the summary:
It seems that rule has evolved into nothing more than just another way for Jagex to track down and kill gold farmers, bots, etc.
Towards the end I think he pretty much nails it. If you think its bad then don't do it, but don't expect it to rain fire and brimstone if you do unless you are breaking another rule as well.
