      Ferrets Rock im not sure if the laws changed recently but the problem was jagex would prove in court that bonds have no monetary value to another person since jagex owns everything stated in their tos , they can take your account anytime for no reason. So they sell sometimes they can take anytime they want. In court that argument is the problem

So they really risked everything just because of one guys cut? That doesnt make sense to me.
      My bet is Rendi really wanted to get barrows gloves for his low level account with using this dupe and he obivously needed help with it, but he had no clue these people would use it to dupe unlimited money and ruin the game from everyone, so he decided to make it public and prevent it.

      Even if every human on earth tried to Naruto run the Area 51 base, they could simply cover the surrounding area in tear gas and prevent a breach. That is, unless someone picked up weapons or used more advanced tools to get in, in which case they would probably take it as a terrorist action and open fire.
      Someone once asked how many modern US soldiers it would take to win the battle of Helm's Deep. The answer is just a few. Tools of war have grown beyond crowds. Nowadays, the only thing preventing armies being destroyed easily is that armies are holding hostages and hiding as civilians.

      It's the way he did it. By publically making them look bad. Never go after a company's image and expect rewards from said company. Not saying Rendi does, I think he just wants them to ackowledge what happened. But the community should try to understand this. Jagex is a big company with investors and ad campaigns. Best for them to just let this blow over, and internally do better to catch these things. On thay same coin, it'd be best if we the players took similar steps. The bigger this gets blown up, the more negative of an impact it will have.

    As someone in game development myself, keeping bug like this under wraps is absolutely not something you should see as devious on their behalf. Something like this is such a huge issue (as you have personally stated repeatedly in this video). The less people who know that this is possible, the better. They would have had to hot fix an immediate patch with no time to test it and make sure its 100% foolproof. Until they can spend the time creating/testing one that was, not informing the world that this huge issue exists is a very smart move. And those insecurities you've mentioned, on feeling like your hard earned gold could have been worthless, guaranteed even knowing that this issue is fixed, some players will feel like any day it could happen and quit. You dont have to feel like everything you arent told is a devious secret with malicious intent.

      It already is. So many people are put off due to random auto bans, the fact that human support is so hard to contact and that streamers seem to be the only valued players of the community.

      the staffing is so minimal because the money this company brings in is far less than most people think. people see the inflated player numbers on the homepage and think RS is actually in competition with other powerhouse gaming companies.

      @@apple54345 Not even close. RS3 is a dying game while OSRS only maintains their couple 10k's concurrent... they're not even close to MMOs like WoW or FF14. That's just facts.... no hate.

    And here I thought you were going to release some video about doing Twisted League training off of Zeah and bypassing the auto-tele. Thank you Rendi for looking out for us. You may wind up blacklisted by Jagex, but if you cared at all about all that clout and golden gnome biz, we wouldn't have seen this video.

    9:50 update in 2020: they took away our ability to chat like adults. now 100+ words have been completely force-filtered and you can't turn it off because jagex is afraid of being accused of racism for allowing people to chat freely.

    Well, I was completely out of the loop.
    I never watched the vid before today because I thought it was just a historical video about 2008 or something.
    Needless to say, this was probably your most important video to date.
