Hey osrs - I wanted to bring up a matter because I'd like to know what the community thinks. Lately, both Swampletics and and UIMVerf have called upon the community to find lucky implings. They both need these implings for items on their amazing drop table. To reward imp scouts they offer (in-game) prizes to people who scout the imps that drop useful stuff. Swampletics explicitly states that the funds have been raised by his community, I'm not sure about Verf.
Should this all be allowed under the RWT rules? Technically, the rewards are in-game money being spent to improve a real world product - the weekly videos the creators depend on for a living. In 2018, a company provided a Friend in-game currency to promote their website in a video. This is a more extreme example of in-game currency being used to make in-game content for real world goals, but I can see similarities.
Are these community imp search parties anywhere near the line, or are they harmless fun with content creators? Personally, I'm not sure what to think yet, But I am interested in your opinions!
