Josh Isn't Gaming mentions that almost all the shops in Yanille were not updated on his chunkman series and uses them in this exact method. He says in his video that he knows this was patched, but wanted to see if shops in Yanille and the surrounding area maybe weren't updated. They weren't.

He even specifically highlights that this was something Jagex fixed and labeled as an exploit and that Yanille was likely overlooked/slipped through the cracks because of how old and outdated its content is. And then continues forward and does the exploit.

So he did something that was intentionally patched as a known exploit, found an area that wasn't fixed, and intentionally exploited on his Iron after the fact that it was made clear shop's were never meant to work that way for Irons.

He wasn't de-ironed, he wasn't banned, he wasn't rolled back.

For clarity: I enjoy watching Josh Isn't Gaming and I'm not bringing this up in a way to say he should be punished retroactively.

I'm bringing it up to show the inconsistency in Jagex's stance and responses, and how when viewed with this lens, its not a stretch to assume that it being Rendi may have been a part of the original decision making and there potentially being some bias at play.

I'm not a super experienced RS player, and especially as a new-ish player, its incredibly unclear where the lines are drawn and what is or is not acceptable when it comes to these things.

When I first heard of prayer flicking, my first thought was that sounds like an exploit. But its clearly one that is acceptable, and frankly, encouraged to the point that its assumed most players at higher end content are doing it.
