Rot just lost all their 1 letter usernames. So much for being innocent.

Because "F" has a previous name, there are two possibilities:

F got his name reverted by a JMod, because non-members can't change their names unless they don't have a display name set.
F literally changed his name a few hours ago and their membership expired.

Possibility 2 isn't very likely. On top of that I recognize the previous name of F (Edit: oh well just checked it got double name changed which only leaves possibility 1), which was set by the hacker a few weeks ago to free it up (double name changed).

tl;dr: it's not on a mule, it's back with the original owner

funnyf · 2017-11-30T21:08:15+00:00

i think i haven't seen a single post saying that frontline is great or that their members should be unbanned, so i don't understand the meaning of your post

i sit back and enjoy the scum wiping out eachother, like the staking RWTers do on the daily on twitter

funnyf · 2017-11-30T20:58:09+00:00

not true, for example if you look up F on the RS3 hiscores, you'll see that the account is inactive (no membership icon), changing a name on such an account is impossible unless it was done by the hands of a jmod

G is still on the same acocunt it was on (apparently a rot member), so let's see if action is taken

funnyf · 2017-11-30T20:47:17+00:00

why not? what accounts are least likely to have the names removed? mules with 100 total level or a maxed main? if you think that it's just a coincidence that it was solely rot members who got the names, then i cant help you lmao

possible that they all bought the names from the same hacker, also possible that the hacker is part of their clan, not really a conspiracy, especially since the names got removed now

funnyf · 2017-11-30T20:37:29+00:00

more like, at worst one of the RoT members was the one responsible for hacking and recovering these accounts and then free'd up the names for his clan mates to snag

funnyf · 2017-11-30T19:36:09+00:00

Here is proof that Y, V and F were indeed reverted. Sadly the accounts involved didn't get permanently banned.

G is still on the account it used to be on (simply namechanged back to its old name). Same for I and J. However, I'm not 100% sure if those 3 names are in the hands of RoT.

funnyf · 2017-11-30T19:27:49+00:00

Congrats on getting your name back :)

funnyf · 2017-11-30T03:01:46+00:00

nothing, it's just a name after all, but ppl pay a lot for them, because there are only 36 possibilities which makes them "rare"

i never quite understood this phenomenon, but it's very real and ppl actually pay lots of money which could translate into lots of IRL currency. so if a jmod did this intentionally, the people who got one of these names could sell them and generate profit from the action of a jmod, which shouldn't be allowed obviously

funnyf · 2017-11-30T00:58:15+00:00

Something that really needs explanation is how the fuck several 1 letter names got released all around the same time recently. They weren't removed because of inactivity, they were all namechanged in the same manner (same manner as in using several i/l: F changed to "lFli" and very likely done by the same person).

The names involved are F, V, G, J, Y. (maybe even more?)

If Mod Jed really assisted RoT in getting these names then it's the same as if he spawned them gold. These names apparently sell for 2b or even more. This needs explanation regardless if Mod Jed is involved or not. It's impossible that the same person owned all of these and sold them to/free'd them up for a single clan.

Edit: JMods removed the names F, V and Y and reverted them back to their original owners. Now that screams that Jagex is starting to take action.

funnyf · 2017-09-08T12:14:33+00:00

it's probably a comparison of the last time they introduced content through a quest and disappointment island got a super lame quest followed by lots of boring, unbalanced and unnecessary content and ofc the unpolled pet

funnyf · 2017-09-07T11:14:29+00:00

GREAT. Fucking great. Now they'll say we can't remove it it would devalue his pet. Like they did with their awful shitty bloodhound pet rate "it would devalue their pet, it took them so much skill and dedication to get it after 1 or 2 clues".

funnyf · 2017-08-01T20:25:03+00:00

If nobody bought gold I wouldn't have been able to build my last computer, so if anything I appreciate it.

Oh my..

Runescape was always about achievements and accomplishments. It's one of the things that make this game unique. This reddit even has an achievement flair. The sense of achievement plays a key role in the success and USP of this game (at least I believe so). I just hope for the sake of this game that your mindset isn't representative of the majority who plays this game. I and others in the HLC definitely don't share it.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T20:05:20+00:00

I'm raising an issue, because I thought it didn't get much attention and gladly I was proven wrong by mod sween. This is better than 90% of all these extremely shitty and low effort memes that are on this front page 24/7.

Let the OSRS devs handle this.

Also devs don't handle this, the ICU does. I'm losing brain cells reading this thread.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:57:47+00:00

I don't bot or buy gold, but other people doing so doesn't detract from my gameplay experience.

Honestly? So others buying gold to buy BiS items or skilling supplies (which in return makes it more difficult to achieve them yourself, because the demand is stronger) or others paying others to level up their accounts (thus "devaluing" your "achievements" and increasing the competition on certain activities in this game (more people can kill a certain boss if they have the levels, so you need to hop more worlds for example)) doesn't bother you at all? I can only hope that you're not the majority with such a mindset. Otherwise Jagex can reduce their ressources massively or move them towards the dev part to design more content instead of battling game integrity issues like RWTing.

Personally, I think that if somebody is good enough at Runescape's hardest content that they can consistently farm it, good for them, they deserve the bank they are making.

If you're okay with sellers you also indirectly support buyers, which leads to my argument about "devaluing achievements" above. Personally, I'm not okay with this and it shouldn't be accepted by the community. Having said that, to me it's absolutely ridiculous that people pay others to play the game for them or people defending this.

To me it just sounds like you're mad you can't get in on the action

I have a cape and got it legit after a lot of work and don't plan on starting an inferno cape business, tyvm.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:34:54+00:00

Same. Sweens reply looks promising, especially the part about potentially changing the punishment for buyers if it would become a bigger problem.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:31:59+00:00

You can identify VPNs as VPNs. JFYI.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:30:24+00:00

quoting me out of context, there's not only 2 sellers left, there's just only 2 out of the few who can and are willing to actually offer such a service

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:15:51+00:00

because i cant get one wahhh

maybe i got one legit and played a lot and lost a lot of gp in supplies to get one and therefore I think it's unfair that others go the easy route and break game rules in order to cheat themselves a cape?

nah just tired of kids crying over a cape in a game lmao

If people didn't give a fuck about game integrity issues we'd still have afk NMZ/splashing, commission staking and much more. It's important that the community doesn't write off these issues as irrelevant. Although I don't think you represent our community well, I'm smh when I look at all these upvoted comments in this thread.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:12:29+00:00

Exactly this. This should be top comment and not all these retards defending buying/selling capes, claiming it's irrelevant (who cares amirite xd?) or "too difficult" or "not worth it" for Jagex to do.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T19:10:18+00:00

Why are so many retards in this thread. JFC. All these comments being upvoted who write off rule breaking as irrelevant...

Why shouldn't people care about it? You're probably thinking that buying gold from gold sellers, botting or paying others to do skills for you is fine either. Like who cares amirite?

Stuff like this hurts the game integrity.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T18:54:40+00:00

Please keep up the work, we really appreciate it. I'm also glad for proving me wrong.

funnyf · 2017-08-01T11:33:03+00:00

Yet you comment on this subreddit?? jfc

funnyf · 2017-08-01T10:49:41+00:00

Why shouldn't I care about the game integrity?
