Rollbacks over-reaction??

This was the phat dupe, they didn't roll back then, so why a couple of people got some RC levels got rolled back?

 

Back then party hats were worth basically nothing, people used to pk wearing them

 

Yeah, but still this was major rule breaking bringing 1,000's of items into runescape.

 

Better question; Why wasn't a rollback in order after the falador massacre?

 

Very true.

 

well i think they said with this one it would be hard to know who accidentally glitched and who purposefully did... a rollback would mean they wouldnt wrongly ban anyone

 

Well they should have done what they did with the penguin hide-and-seek bug:

-Perm ban the obvious abusers who had gotten millions of exp in an incredibly short amount of time

-Temp ban the people who used it quite a bit, but not to the point of abuse

-Leave everyone else alone

 

A rollback isn't necessary. As long as most of the items, and abusers are taken care of, we're fine. A rollback would affect everyone who played.
