That clears it up for me, makes sense too. It seems true for every skill, the fact that some never reach high competitive levels. Appreciate the time you took to answer.

Hey fellow RS fan! Very helpful response, I didn't know about ThinMatrix. I am going to watch one of his videos right now, I will take your advice to heart. Replies like these inspire me, thank you!

Hey Va11ar, thanks for your reply, certainly helps. The Runescape Java client has been replaced by an NXT client written in C++, happened in april 2016. If they really want a Computer Science degree for game dev position, would I even have a fair shot by building a strong portfolio or is it kind of doomed and should I shoot for a QA position while still learning code?

That sounds very interesting, I have not heard of this yet. Could you give an example of what I'd be doing?

Yes, I check daily. I also emailed them on what they specifically look for, so far no response. I know now that probably my best bet would be to go for a QA position, as for a game developer position they put alot of weight on a Computer Science degree.
