I had to take the day off to recover 😭
Whilst I commend your ability to take action, I must admit that this is the account I sent a tip on October 5th to Jagex's tipoff email, further inquired about said email on twitter around a week ago and now posted the exact same thing on reddit. It isn't really my account.
Your turn.
Touché - not all of tipoff can be actioned due to the amount of reports sent to it, however
What are you talking about? GWD only requires 2 beginner quests, 60 str, and 70 in one combat stat. It also has low requirements that can quickly be trained to get.
It wasn't always worth their time to master/profit per hour in comparison to other areas of the game.
Whilst I commend your ability to kill Vorkath, posting on Reddit about your account doesn't grant it any legitimacy from selling your spoils to the Black Market (that goes for the 481m you sold today, too).
That is true tbh
We apply tens of thousands of macroing bans per day :o
so why didn't they just do this instead of nerfing the rev caves?
We did, however the low requirements and vast amount of goldfarmers/people training the accounts meant they always had a huge supply
Ban is correct
Not defending gold farming or this person. But curious on jagex stance on alt accounts. Are we ok to have vorkath/brutal black dragon alts? Even if we just trade with our main account? Not saying that's what has happened here. Just asking for myself
So long as you're not cheating then having alts is fine
You were banned for gold farming, along with 3,012 other accounts today.
The name I want is Olyimpus with letters only, so that's not a problem. Thanks for the input tho!
You should be able to grab that if the account is a member
Apologies, we're looking into these!
Got the email about 3 hours ago, account is still banned. Should I just wait longer? Or email an appeal?
There's 2500 accounts still left that it's processing, should be done shortly - it's slow today!
/u/JagexSween maybe you can help me out?
I've checked and the system seems to have gotten to your account, apologies for the delay between the email and the actual action being taken.
How old of accounts are getting unbanned? Have one that was banned probably three years ago that is still banned.
Accounts identified are based on a few factors such as events surrounding the ban and a lot of other things - not all accounts identified will be unbanned just yet, they are getting done in batches.
We are indeed sending these out - there's currently a short delay between the account being reinstated and the email being delivered so I advise checking your account in an hour's time or so.
You're preaching to the wrong crowd. The people that make these levels of decisions don't roam Reddit, or even help create the game. I imagine every dev/artist/QA/etc (on both OSRS and RS3) would want to get rid of bots, but knows that their higher ups only want X anti-cheating specialists per game.
Throwing more people at the problem won't solve it, there's lots of other limitations which are also being worked on.
Why is it temporary? Runescape has had botting problems since 2001. You need more than one full time staff member to handle the tens of thousands of suicide bots and various other bots that this game sees daily.
If you cut anti-cheating staff the bots will just flare up until this subreddit complains again. Jagex made over 50 million pounds of profit last year and over 100 in revenue, it baffles me how stingy they are with employees.
There's 7 members of the team who work across both RS and OSRS.
Why on earth is it a full time contract position? At least in the US that means you're cutting ~40% of your paycheck to taxes and receive vastly fewer protections than being an actual employee. You're often treated differently by staff as well... with even less job security.
It's pretty standard to bill double as a contractor to deal with the extra overhead, something tells me Jagex is not paying double.
Fixed term employees get full pay and benefits just like 'Full Time' members of staff. It is simply a temporary position.
The players involved have been punished accordingly, and will face additional action being taken against them if they continue to be disruptive.
