Holy Shit so Raciest - Sterotype Here

"Over the last couple of weeks we've had a sudden increase in reports of people apparently using 'bots' to play the game automatically (which is in breach of Rule 7). Firstly, we want to let all our honest players (and that's the vast majority of you) know that we are aware of this problem, and that we are taking immediate steps to tackle it. We currently ban about 8000 accounts every week for trying this sort of cheating, and for a long time that kept things under control. Things have clearly moved on, however, and that is no longer enough, so we are in the process of upgrading our detection and prevention systems. We also have logs of historical activity, so we'll be able to make sure that dishonesty doesn't pay. Please bear with us while we sort it out! There are also ways you can help us, so please read on.

What's happening is more complex than it first seems. What's actually going on is that the VAST majority of the level-3 characters you see playing the game repetitively and not talking to anyone, are actually people from countries such as China and Korea, who are trying to collect RuneScape gold to sell for real world money (obviously against the rules). Some of them aren't even using bots, they are just playing the game very repetitively with a single-minded purpose to collect gold. These people have no interest in playing the game properly, and therefore don't care if they get banned. The final effect is the same, though – it spoils the game for everyone else.

We can (and do) ban them - including using IP bans - but they still find ways to make accounts. We seized 6 billion in RuneScape gold by banning real-world traders last week! Unfortunately, these people are obliged to work such long hours and are paid such low wages that if even a tiny fraction of gold makes it to the market, those running the sweatshops will be encouraged to continue. This is why we are now further increasing our efforts.

So how to stop it? The answer is clearly to tackle the black market. As long as there is the potential to make money, they won't stop trying, even though it damages the game for everyone else. Of course, if nobody spent real world money on RuneScape gold these unwelcome groups would just switch to a different game.

Therefore, we are going to be cracking down HARD on people who breach Rule 12 (no real world trading). We can catch people who break this rule, because we have a sophisticated trade monitoring system and we can trace suspicious activity all the way back to the original bot accounts.

If you break Rule 12 and buy RuneScape gold you are directly funding this problem. You are funding underground gangs who run Chinese sweatshops, and creating the black market which causes this botting problem. Therefore, this rule will now be enforced as a priority, with no second chances. If you break Rule 12 and we catch you, then you will not only lose the money you spent, but also your entire account. Obviously, we will always be careful to make sure nobody is banned in error.

Finally, we have noticed some 3rd party sites, which call themselves 'fansites', but then advertise black market trading sites. This will no longer be tolerated. By running such advertising these sites are directly supporting these gangs, and are thus causing the botting problems they then complain about! We don't consider sites that encourage our players to break the rules and endanger their own users to be 'fansites'. (i.e. They're advertising things to their users, which, if the advertising works, will serve to get their users banned!) We consider them cheat sites, and they will be treated accordingly. True fans of the game don’t encourage cheating!

This brings us to the last point. HOW YOU CAN HELP! You can help us by:


Using the in-game 'report abuse' facility to tell us about players you see breaking rule 7. Of course we're not going to ban anyone just on the basis of a player report and will always thoroughly check them ourselves, too - but such reports still help us know who we should be checking up on.


Boycott any corrupt 'fansites' which advertise RuneScape gold for sale. There are plenty of genuine fansites out there who don't support cheating in this way, and we fully support those sites. Use those ones instead. Also, don't advertise, link to, or talk about any of these corrupt fansites. Obviously, if they stop supporting cheating, you can start using them again.


Under absolutely no circumstances buy RuneScape gold/items for real money! Doing so causes this whole problem, and we'll ban you if we catch you doing it.

The number of honest players still far, far outweighs the tiny minority causing trouble. Now we’re on the case you can be sure we’ll have this sorted out asap."

Im gonna really focus on the top part, about real-world trading, and the Koreans/Chinese running 'sweatshops'. Ok, I know there has to be some Asians here, and Im and kinda Asian, Im mongoloid. So wtf? Is this really true? Or are we (Sythe.org) causing most of the Steriotyping. I think i smell a lawsuit here, seriously. We should all just write to Jagex, saying that we are proud, AZN players of Runescape, and find that HIGHLY raciest. I've seen most of the creatize writing in Sythe, so maybe we should take advantage of this shit and maybe get a lil $$$ from jagex. But it'll take a lot to cover up that we are with Sythe.

Or maybe ppl that accually waste money on Members should start writing threats to Jagex because of that Racist statement about China/Korea being the problem.



Man wtf is the world coming to.....theres the Virginia tech shit going on, Jahova wittnesses killing people, Donald trump and that one fat guy exchanging comments on shows(for all you who watch Showbiz show ), and now this?!? A fucking punkass, trickass, bitchy company called Jagex who owns the shittiest-graphics game ever. I've seen fucking cellphones that have better graphics then Runescape.


So maybe we can start writing 'angry' letters to Jagex, saying that we feel mistreated, offended, and that we demand GP/POWER ROFL.

 

Man, I think it'd be good if they cracked down a bit on the autoers. But I don't care about the rest, It's a game.. They shouldn't take it so seriously. Well on the other note they do get payed for members, why should they care how we play?

 

Dang 6 billion accounts lol.

I don't think that's racist, it's the truth.

People are running sweatshops for online games. I don't see any stereotyping here.

It would be nice to rid SOME autoers *looks at mage bank*

 

alaskan, all the bots are currently being run in asia.

 

Sounds like we should trade gold by dueling now.

 

Well now thats a bit rude of them isn't it...

 

I was SHOCKED when I readed the update. This is the first time in history Jagex became this personal on autoers/bots and "cheatsites". This is clearly a desperate try to ask runescape players to report more, because they can't handle it... "Updated the way to trac bots?" Hmmmmm, didn't I read the same 4-5 months ago with the new engine update? Jagex, the only thing u're ding is making a fool out of ureself, and now even admitting u're losing the battle vs. "cheaters"...

/FAIL jagex

 

& you think this will actually change something?
They could track that like years ago allready, they're just telling us now.

 

Here's what I don't understand:
If Jagex has such an awesome system for detecting macros, then why in the world do they want us to report autoers? Its not like they ever look at the reports personally anyway...

 

Eh, it happens, they will keep stereotyping. Its fun half the time anyways.

 

good idea thats what im gonna start doing now

 

this is so retarted

they point fingers and blame rather then fix the problem

 

Wow, that was great. I nearly chocked on my fish stick while laughing.

Way to show your ignorance and desperation, Jagex.

 

I guess if it's stereotyped to asians it takes the heat off me >.> despite the fact it is quite rude and all i must admit that it is probably true... I have researched numerous GP selling site and they are nearly all registered to some trippy asian name

 

that's pathetic.... chill out jagex its a damn game..

 

It say's that they siezed 6 billion on Runescape gold, not accounts.

 

dude thats not racist at all, the honest truth is CHINESE GOLD FARMER's

its true, they are crazy good botters.. and they use a lot of macro's and i would be the happiest skipper if they ate all the bots away. i personally never bot and im tired of this,

theres an asian guy with 57 bots, none banned, all 90+ WC no joke,

 

Yea, but it just seems rude, like some dude said ^ there. I donno, last time i sent a complaint to Jagex, I just got a auto-respond saying that I should buy members, and help get more complaints/complemnts lmao

 

6 bill gp is nothing -.- theres stil the other 100b being autoed

 

Ok, with all due respect to all here who have posted that autoing is bad, why the fuck are you here anyway? Sythe is pretty famous not only for the site, but for his 1337 autos......

Anyway, my point was saying that its sterotypical raciest or w/e not for the sweatshops, but where the fuck is Jagex's evidence? I meen, maybe they could just say, 'I know why Pking and luring so so bad!! Its the ppl in Germany being Nazis! And ppl in Iraqistan playing with their weeners and bombs!!'

So wtf? Im pissed at this cause its just the way they presented it..
