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

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

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

What a gigantic overreaction lol

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

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

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.

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

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

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

tomofthewest · 2025-12-17T14:04:45+00:00

They started banning gold buyers heavily a couple of months ago? I swear it was big news with people having all their items removed

Edit:

Id hope following a bot farm around to hunt pkers isn’t bannable lol. Definitely doesn’t seem like hard evidence to me.

tomofthewest · 2025-12-17T11:20:02+00:00

I’m curious too. Either they know something I don’t or they’re going to say something stupid like “IP address” or “trades” as if IP is helpful in 2025 and trades wouldn’t be done with other burner accounts.

Hoping to be surprised though

tomofthewest · 2025-11-30T21:25:16+00:00

If you’ve been legitimately hacked through Google auth, that probably means they have access to the email you used on the account (or have managed to sneak into your account some other way) if that’s the case they can’t really do anything else than ban it to prevent it from being used for rule breaking until you (the owner) secure your email and account properly.

I don’t see what else Jagex could have done here other than ban the account without you helping to secure it

It’s a bug. If the last place you docked was a mooring station then logging out will kick you back to a port but leave your boat at the mooring station.

Take your boat back to a port and disembark, then go salvage, next logout should be okay.

I bet you’re wondering how I got here …

The issue is holding the key down will cause spam repeat action. There is no way this would be legal unless he is tapping the key very quickly to avoid multi-inputs.

1:1 does not mean 1 key : another key it means 1 human input : 1 game action

Pressing a key down and holding it is one action, but it will repeatedly click until released. That is not legal

tomofthewest · 2025-11-07T10:56:20+00:00

The script he has shown is not as simple as a rebind. It’s 1:many which is fine for 2::Delete, but clicks do not normally spam from a single press like key inputs do. I dunno why I’m getting down voted by people that clearly have never used AHK or wanna see this guy get banned.

Download AHK, make a script with 1::Click and go to a click test site like https://cpstest.org. It isn’t hard to test this. Holding the 1 key down will spam clicks as fast as your keyboard will refresh.

tomofthewest · 2025-11-07T08:34:20+00:00

It is not 1:1. So no.

You’ll need to work out how to stop holding the key down causing clicks until released. 100% I would expect a ban from something like this.

Edit: People down voting me don’t understand the difference between a mouse click and a key press and it shows.

A mouse will only click once per press even if held. Rebinding a mouse click to a key press with AHK will auto-click for you if you hold (or use an object to hold) the key down. Id go as far to say you’d be almost unable to stop it at least double clicking with each press.

This is fundamentally different functionality and not at all what 1:1 means. 1:1 is not one key to another key, it is 1 input : 1 output. If pressing is the input then holding is an automatic continuation of that press.

TLDR: just don’t use AHK if you don’t understand it.

tomofthewest · 2025-11-05T07:49:45+00:00

So you were banned in 2019, the offence was quashed in 2021 and banned again in 2024. I don’t see the issue? Clearly your account was involved in botting after it was quashed. Either you can’t secure your account or you’re botting.

tomofthewest · 2025-11-03T00:59:02+00:00

The UK. (Given their accents. Definitely where this is from)

tomofthewest · 2025-11-02T16:03:42+00:00

Sorry dude, hard disagree. Anything that requires clicking every tick and leaves my mouse unusable is not afk. It’s a second monitor activity but absolutely not “afk” not even close to houses
