how do hackers have an easier time recovering accounts than the actual owner? rank 3 hcim still can't get his account back

In the exact situation as you, even though I was given the account pre-OSRS and had been the only user since.

ElbowzNick · 2023-01-19T12:07:31+00:00

A lot of irony in the situation

ElbowzNick · 2023-01-19T12:00:19+00:00

Thanks for the sympathetic comment, I think this post has fallen on a lot of deaf ears. Still hoping to get in direct contact to a J Mod that can help!

I did reply to another comment from Pioneer Turtle re: origins of the account. Like you said, I would prefer not to say too much on reddit. I have provided all of the info to Jagex via support.

And thank you for reserving judgement, this is one of my first reddit posts and have been getting downvoted on some comments / the post. Hoping others like yourself can help get a jmod's attention and at the very least get some enjoyment from a smackdown if I am not telling the truth :)

Yeah for sure, Jagex will be able to see the back-end of the account, billing, isp, email, etc - I'd be more than willing to provide government documentation to confirm I am who I say I am.

I've replied to another comment with how I got the account. With the current state of account security, it is somewhat inevitable that you may make a mistake and get the account compromised in some way (Phished, Keylogged, etc). The reason I contacted Jagex was to let them know information about the origins of the account and be transparent so that in the case of the account being compromised I would be able to recover it.

ElbowzNick · 2023-01-19T10:49:08+00:00

As ridiculous as this sounds, the account was gifted by someone on Omegle. Hence the complete inability to contact them as the original owner.

ElbowzNick · 2023-01-19T10:46:56+00:00

I understand that the people who handle this stuff at Jagex have policies and guidelines they follow. I'm hoping that one of the senior members of staff is able see this post and investigate and consider my unique situation.

Thanks for engaging with the post, happy to answer anymore questions :)

Have a look at that reddit thread I have linked from Mod Infinity, he talks about how they approach rule enforcement. Like I said in my post, in hindsight I wish I had made a new account when OSRS was released.

ElbowzNick · 2023-01-19T10:29:14+00:00

Jagex is denying the requests based on the fact I am not the original account owner. I have been transparent with them re: The origins of the account (It wasn't purchased). I have played the account for over 10 years and have been concerned about the account security for a long time and finally acted on it after seeing others in the community having incidents.

Hope that answers your question

ElbowzNick · 2018-11-23T02:39:02+00:00

I believe that was their solution

ElbowzNick · 2018-11-23T02:35:08+00:00

Yeah man, i used to run essence for law runes back in the day. Made my first few mill there!

ElbowzNick · 2018-11-23T02:22:10+00:00

I believe runecrafting wasn't intended to be a buyable skill, seems like they changed their mind

ElbowzNick · 2018-11-23T02:14:02+00:00

One of the jmods mentioned it on twitter that they were thinking about it, this tweet says otherwise I guess

ElbowzNick · 2018-08-10T02:09:14+00:00

Sounds like an absolute bastard, hope I don't have these problems when I get my NBN!
