      Big fan, really cool to end up in one of your videos.
      On the topic of staking, I only did it for the stream content, and I was in fact chasing losses, but cut my losses after a good streak, thatt left me still down a good chunk, but not cleaned. A little back story, my dad was a gambler, so from an early age I had a visceral hate for it and swore I would never do it. I'm gambling virtual coins, but the psychology is the same. I have no problems with other people doing it, but it is a line I promised to myself I would never cross. The closest thing to gambling I do is investing in stocks.
      The reason I took a break during the period before I got hacked was because I was feeling down because ROT constantly stream-sniped me, ancient macing me for a DWH (~70M then) on a 2k+ world. When I played DMM, ROT wanted to extort me to leave me alone in DMM and I wouldn't give them money so they just targeted me whenever I did dangerous content on stream as well as outside of game. I stopped playing after losing my DWH for a long while, plenty of time for people to wait out my bank pin. When you're really good at something, it can be hard to let it go. The silver lining of getting hacked was me finally being able to move on.

    That's a respectable player right there. Made his fortune by humble beginnings and interacting with others. As far as we know never gave in to RWT. When fallen prey to gambling, realized their losses and bounced back. When met with the loss of his fortune just took it by the cheek and got back up. When all was said and done, moved on. Stuck by his morals despite the many anonimity safeties of the internet. A good story in these times. Wilson's One-Stop Herb Shop. A nice memory in Runescape's timeline.

    As a victim of the same hack and ban that this player experienced, I have no reason to believe he's not telling the truth.
    I stopped playing Runescape for a few years. When I logged back in one day, my bank was completely cleaned out with nothing but some Green D'hides in it, and my character with some food and a basic bow setup.
    A couple days later, the account was perma banned for botting.
    I don't even know how to run that sort of software. It's much more likely that he's telling the truth that to err on the side of less likelihood that he would be lying.

    • @phoenixwingzz2189
      @phoenixwingzz2189 Місяць тому

      Honestly at this point, because there's so much "mystery" behind them, and because Jagex refuses to communicate to me about security regarding how these breaches are happening, I think it's Jagexes' fault. Internal employees that hold the secret keys in a giant server vault smack their lips like coyotes over the black market value of some of the accounts, so they just maliciously sell someones' account details for $, Toxic Jagex Employee walks off with the $, the RMTer goes wild with the account abusing it to manufacture cannonballs for sale or some oddwhat second piece of merchandise while they just trade everything that hacked account has to their main standing in the same world, then the account used for macro gets banned and the customer that bought the sold keys from the Toxic Jagex Employee sellout just enjoys the safety of realised profits from his main.
      After much consideration, I realized in a security system where I have foolproofed my password and made an intricate phrase, that it was *still* bypassed even after making my password a literal hash itself, so it just goes to show that some Jagex employee is just "copying and pasting" the account details on demand. Whether it's greed or vice, I blame Jagex. despite their democratic polling system, they routinely fail to be transparent about how these things are happening, and I absolutely quit the game because the keys to accounts leaking is 100% an internal affair, and that's why I promote quitting that game to everyone I see playing it except if they're way deep into it then I just leave it alone. But, only a matter of time before that gets out of control. There should be no possible way that a hacker can acquire a specific 32-character keystroked password from a 32-character MD5 Hash then decrypt that just to get another 32-character phrase and still maintain confidence punching that into the password box at the Main Menu. I made my password so even if a Black Hat took that avenue, that arriving at a 32-character hash as a password would disillusion a hacker and make them think they sniffed and cracked incorrectly. But yet, here we are, and Jagex doesn't say shit about it so, it's *them*. Snaggle-tooth brits, dog. OSRS is the biggest scam in the videogame ecosystem and it's made by Britiain no less.

Even though i was relatively poor & my states are now maxed its all hand done.

      This was a great nostalgia trip and a nice tribute. I started playing in 2003 so I wish I did a better job of keeping pictures and videos. As someone who started playing so early, I was a part of a lot of cool stuff that will never see the light of day. Colonello did a great job researching what little is on the internet and putting together a good story in video.

Enough cash for full bandos when godwars dropped. A stack of d bones that by the time I stopped playing and came back to the ge update. I just got 99 prayer n sold the rest for an ely.

    Does anyone remember the goblin raids when OSRS came out like the first week or two ? Literally I’ve never heard anyone mention it and it drives me crazy! I was at the varrock east bank and a group of goblins came through the gates of the city with the leader yelling something and they became aggressive and we had to kill like 5 goblins lol. I know it sounds made up swear to god though it was awesome and I would love an update of having cities randomly attacked by monsters !!! Seriously great idea

  • @taserrr
    @taserrr 20 днів тому +1

    Couple mistakes:
    First of all, flipping is not merching, merching is long term investments (2 weeks/1month at minimum), flipping is extremely short term, like within 30 mins you buy an item and resell it for some profit. That's because both investments are completely different, flipping relies on purchasing items people want to sell quickly for some fast cash, than you pick it up at around 1-5% below the cost of selling those items again, you sell them to people who instantly want to buy an item to use it. The margins are very small, but the risk is fairly low and profits come very fast.
    Merching long term is purchasing items well in advance and holding on to them for weeks, months or even years until they rise up because of certain reasons you're predicting (upcoming boss, PvP update, PvM update, new skill, bonus exp weekend, etc.). Than you sell these items for massive profits, we're talking 30-10 000% profit margins.
    Also when osrs was first released, inflation was through the roof. You mention he bought a third age wand for 200mil and sold it only months after for 450 mil, but by than this 200mil would've been worth like 300-400 mil anyways. As more money poured into the game (mainly through high alching which requires time), and more higher level items got into the game, inflation skyrocketed.
    You only have to look at the price of bonds to see the inflation, and bonds were only released years after osrs came out.

    Wilson is not the one that real world traded his fortune.. if you look at the price and amounts traded of 3rd age items around the time he got hacked, you see a lot if not all of them dropped and they had 3 times more trades than they used to for a month.

    In original RS one of my old buddies i havent seen in years had too much money and started using sets as money holders..
    He showed me a few of his set stacks, he had over 300k sets of green dragonhide(g) and more than a mil (t) sets
    They are the only stacks i remember well, but there were other more impressive sets aswell with lesser numbers.
    Controlled the market for trimmed and gold trimmed green dragonhide for a time.
