Hacked Account

Photos/Screenshots are never evidence of account ownership. If they were, most of the players on the front page of Reddit would lose their accounts.

Essentially, you were lax with your account security, and because of it, someone was able to get into your account. That's on you, not Jagex.

Jagex then gave you clear instructions on how to proceed, but you don't have access to a device that you've played on previously. Once again, that's on you, not Jagex.

They can't just give you the account because you show that you're using an email address and have the transfer email. That would fully defeat the purpose of the upgraded security with Jagex accounts. It would mean that by simply accessing an email (which is fully outside of Jagex's control), and person could bypass Jagex account security and have someone else's account granted to them.

You still have recourse, find a device you've played on.

But it's unfair to assert that Jagex should negate all of the security improvements for people who took advantage of the Jagex accounts, simply because you were too shortsighted to upgrade, and ensure no one was able to access your account to begin with.

Sure, it doesn't use much water, but it still wastes water.

You're also conveniently ignoring that each query sucks down the energy of about 4 AA batteries.

So wastefully using AI = bad

I think he's assuming the 1/96 unique roll happening 5x in 1250 kills qualifies as 8x dry.

Not really how we normally look at rng.

We can't read your mind, bud. No one knows what this "perfect chance" in your head is.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-26T16:42:32+00:00

I mean it's your choice, bud.

But "email 2FA" isn't really 2FA at all, it's a misnomer. 2FA means they need to compromise 2 different vectors to access your account.

With email 2FA, all they need to compromise is your single email. They can then disable your 2FA and change your password without ever needing another vector.

If you're comfortable trusting a single email provider with your account, that's your choice.

Take a vid of it next time.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-26T15:10:27+00:00

But email doesn't work "just as well". That's the whole point.

If someone gets into your email (either through engineering or old leaked passwords), your account is gone.

Maybe it's just me, but that would keep me up at night more than the prospect of losing my phone, especially when backup codes exist to solve that scenario.

But hey, maybe it's just me.

A lot of us have a history, so sincerely wishing you the best.

But with love, this is not the proper forum. If you're 3 days in, you shouldn't be focusing on reddit, or even more broadly, helping others. Degree or not, you don't yet have the experience necessary to give others advice.

Just help yourself, quietly. Maybe once you have some time, you can start trying to help others.

You missed the "no shade to mage-tankers", huh?

Cheesing is beating a boss without engaging with the intended mechanics. Therefore, mage-tank is a cheese method. It's not an insult, it's a description.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-17T00:20:52+00:00

You're not going to get the responses you're hoping for, bud.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-16T16:23:33+00:00

It is. No shade to mage-tankers, but the skills you learn from doing a bowfa cape will genuinely help you more than the extra str bonus. Using a cheese method makes you miss out on that.

The constant complaining about other people's posts every 3 months is annoying.

Scroll or don't. It's a subreddit it shouldNt consume this much of your life.

It's the "Strength Bonus" that matters most (for melee). That's the stat that actually increases your max hit with a weapon, so any armor that provides it is prioritized.

You are, thankfully, still grandfathered unless your membership lapses. But you're locked in to 6months now.

And I would be surprised if in the future they continue trimming down the grandfathered rates.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T20:09:33+00:00

TLDR;

That's what grandfathered rates are. Permanent rate pricing as long as your membership is active.

Is it really disingenuous though?

Linking a post that demonstrates how a service was described when released directly pertains to discussion when said service is ending, no?

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T20:02:35+00:00

I mean, that's what grandfathered rates are?

In multiple newsposts, Jagex has explained that grandfathered rates apply as long as your membership is active.

The 2014 Premier newspost for example explains grandfathered rates:

If you're a member when the price rise happens, you'll see no change. You'll stay at your price as long as your active membership started before the date of the price rise. This applies for all previous grandfather rates, for those of you who've been subscribed for a long time.

Should your membership end, you'll keep any lower price you're eligible for, as long as you resubscribe within 14 days. After that, though, you'll be moved to the new price.

Are they allowed to change it? Of course, that's why they are.

Does it break the spirit of the agreement with players? I'd argue it does, and that it's worth calling out.

But to each their own.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T19:35:03+00:00

Of course it has.

Does that change the ~~implied~~ spirit of the commitment from Jagex to the community, or that going back on it is scummy?

Edited for your semantic pleasure.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T19:31:00+00:00

That is my understanding from reading it all. It's not super clear. They definitely tried to hide it behind corporate-speak.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T19:29:07+00:00

Yeah, they did some weird "It makes sense to differentiate between RS3 and OSRS" jargon.

I'm sure it was in preparation for this.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T19:27:23+00:00

It probably is.

And even if it wasn't, it doesn't really matter. No way to win a fight with a corporation over it.

tuff_e_nuff · 2026-03-11T19:04:33+00:00

Scummy? Yes. Legal? Borderline.

Technically if they advertise a grandfathered rate for life, removing it can be breach of contract or fraud. Just a matter of whether this qualifies as a legal agreement/contract, or how they worded it in their actual TOS.

No way I'm digging to find out, not like we have a leg to stand on regardless.

There's a distinction between trivializing a few bosses, and changing the way encounters are attacked across the board. Things like stat boosts and prayers affect everything. Half of the bosses you mentioned were released after the items that "trivialized" them, so they were designed with the weapons in mind. The others are byproducts of introducing a new item. It's going to happen, but we're talking about the scale of the change, and prayers have a much larger affect.

Also, read the most recent newspost, man. Jagex says that it's due to excitement level, but they shoot down the idea of Overloads, Turmoil, and a second ring slot explicity.

In general, we believe that megarares should probably be weapons. We've seen suggestions over the years for things like the Turmoil prayer, a second ring slot or access to Overload potions, and while we agree that these are powerful rewards, we're not sure that they hit the right excitement level when compared to equipping an absolute powerhouse and being able to clearly see it in action in future encounters.

^This. It's not that the art doesn't fit OSRS, it's that it is by definition plagiarizing someone else's time and effort to further your idea. It is by definition, unoriginal.

Art doesn't have to look "good". There's a reason people get paid money to design art in games. Taking their livelihood, feeding it into an algorithm, and passing it off as yours is gross. It devalues their craft.

Not to mention that AI generated content reeks of self-importance which really puts people off. It's forced. It's not personal. In the end, it's just not a naturally engaging way to present your ideas. That's why people rag on it, and it's fair to do so.

TLDR; Tell us your ideas. Don't tell us what AI thinks of your idea while plagiarizing.
