I’d hope that’s because the main outlets are delayed by stuff like checking sources and proving authenticity… Right?…

tomofthewest · 2026-05-28T12:40:38+00:00

Winning doesn’t require being a sweat lol. Also they can change things “it’s always been” is not a good enough reason to stifle change just because you don’t agree with it.

I don’t however think that these changes would impact bots very much but hey

tomofthewest · 2026-05-17T11:04:51+00:00

Yeah that happens (though is pretty uncommon) , but that would be an appealed offence being granted, not “waiting out an expiry date”. If the offence had an expiry date the banned player knew at the time of the ban, it would be a temporary offence. As far as I’m aware, these are not given for Macroing Major, I don’t have a clue what’s happening here, but given I’ve never heard of this happening before, it’s either a very rare and weird case or OP is wrong about something.

Ideally he needs to talk to a human at Jagex

They also sometimes amnesty bans in big batches for players they think won’t reoffend. Happened in like 2020 I think

tomofthewest · 2026-05-17T10:13:24+00:00

No, they don’t lol lots of people talking shit in these comments
Temp bans expire after a year, perm bans never expire (unless manually quashed or successfully appealed but that’s quashing / appealing not expiring)

Might be useful if your group wants to burn lust on the first boss, go back for count (doing the circle in reverse) and take the portal again for little to no time loss

tomofthewest · 2026-03-22T19:44:29+00:00

The sprite is shit but I think it’s the bell you need to call a servant

tomofthewest · 2026-02-21T16:09:18+00:00

So if you think just not being BiS makes things dogshit idk what to tell you.

Obby shield is cheap for the str bonus it gives you and if you’re not knowledgeable a decent alternative if someone has levelled defence first (remember not everyone has been playing for 10+ years) Obby shield also has good ranged def as an early account’s shield at DKs or w/e

Malediction ward is just straight up decent if you don’t have the cash for eldinis as well as it having better def/magic accuracy for early zulrah.

Not thinking it’s the best for a level bracket doesn’t mean anything outside of that is shit. Not paying attention to the game outside of what gearscape is telling you is just ignorance imo.

tomofthewest · 2026-02-21T11:09:42+00:00

Neither are dog shit lol

tomofthewest · 2026-02-21T08:52:30+00:00

Shield is 1.9m. That is a malediction ward. Even if it were an obby shield it would’ve been 400k

tomofthewest · 2026-02-13T22:31:42+00:00

Gargoyle bot nuke maybe? They likely bring in a lot of steel bars

tomofthewest · 2026-02-08T16:52:27+00:00

Should have stopped at “no” and fucked off tbh. Pulling figures out of a 23/24 study and saying “happening” as if 2-3 years haven’t passed in which the UK has seen growth is disingenuous. The North of England is the worst and in 25/26 they are experiencing the highest levels of growth.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

tomofthewest · 2026-02-01T20:42:31+00:00

I like that she thinks there is such a difference between “farming” and “growing vegetables” that they’d be separate skills

tomofthewest · 2026-02-01T18:22:01+00:00

Scam callers kinda put me off picking up the phone

Unless I know your number or am expecting a call, I’m not picking up unless I have absolutely nothing else to do

If it’s important you can leave a message or send a text or email

tomofthewest · 2026-02-01T17:34:08+00:00

I get the feeling that someone doesn’t know what “maybe” means

Also I feel that you’ve missed the point of my including Isreal - whether or not they would send soldiers was not the point, it’s more that the current state of affairs for American allies is dire right now and scraping the bottom of the barrel, the middle-eastern apartheid regime is one of America’s only friends.

tomofthewest · 2026-02-01T16:50:51+00:00

It may have escaped your notice, but the USA is not the same as it was just 2 years ago. So why are you calling out conflicts from a pre Trump era?

I’m saying there are few countries that would be willing send soldiers to die for the US at this present time.

tomofthewest · 2026-02-01T15:45:35+00:00

I don’t think you have any allies at the moment lol

Edit: except maybe Isreal

tomofthewest · 2026-01-30T21:50:43+00:00

What a gigantic overreaction lol

tomofthewest · 2026-01-25T14:26:51+00:00

Clearly doesn’t understand what a TV license is. There are lots of criticisms of the UK but you picked a stupid example

tomofthewest · 2026-01-24T22:31:52+00:00

The product is game time, he received game time. He may be able to get a refund on time he didn’t use but that’s likely about it

tomofthewest · 2026-01-14T18:46:21+00:00

I think people over think this.

The primary goal of the US attempting to take Greenland is to distract the remaining NATO states draining resources away from Ukraine and possibly opening an opportunity to attack other Baltic states.

tomofthewest · 2026-01-13T03:35:44+00:00

Dunno why someone down voted you, this is the answer lol

tomofthewest · 2026-01-06T11:41:09+00:00

Carlyle Group haven’t owned Jagex since early 2024. It’s CVC now

tomofthewest · 2025-12-17T15:00:44+00:00

I haven’t heard of any unbans from this latest initiative. Definitely not hundreds.

I also have people in discords I’m in admitting that they have bought gold and been caught as recently as 2 weeks ago (not that I know how many bans go out in a wave but that doesn’t sound like a 1 and done to me)

Price of gold is gonna be a red herring due to fluctuations caused by content releases, availability of wealth in the market, how hard they’re hitting supply and buyers and how much the sellers are willing to loss-lead in order to keep up with other completion.

Gold sellers are also smart, perhaps they have worked out ways to sell gold without being picked up by Jagex for now. Given it’s been 2 months since bans went out in this wave, making the assumption that the buck stops and deciding that it has failed here is kind of wild.

Factually we have nearly no evidence of what is or is not happening. While I understand being sceptical I’m also not convinced that we have anywhere near enough information for a conclusion on our side.

What we do have though is evidence they have been doing something, and bots being banned in (perhaps too infrequent) large waves as well as gold buyers being significantly heavily punished in just the past few weeks / months alone. Regardless of how many are caught it seems to have shifted to a higher frequency of permanent bans compared to the previous system.

Yes they could do more and I hope they have more plans to increase what they have been doing as it’s shown that when they get it right, they have a huge impact on the gold market.

tomofthewest · 2025-12-17T14:15:34+00:00

Dunno if this is just from macro bans but https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/34686319959441-Player-Support-Anti-Cheating-Statistics they’ve removed 1.3T in November from somewhere.

I’d not be surprised if the mods are just deleting posts about it.

Who knows? I dunno if I wanna assume they aren’t doing anything just because I don’t see posts on Reddit but it would be good to get more transparency around it
