Jagex Warning - All you need to know

[Punjabi3]

The only way they could sue is if they based it on fucking up runescape economy which they would have to consider rsgp's dollar value for and since RS doesn't allow RWT this goes against their own ToS. Also I know for sure paypal isn't allowed to give personal information unless it has to do legally and no court in any country would give a warrant to get the email addresses for an email data base unless they can connect it to fraud. Also unless they can prove how much money has actually been lost due to mass botters a court order in most countries will be useless. Also I'm almost positive RS is using the linked emails on runescape accounts not the paypal emails.

If anything RS is targeting the mass botters (companies) who had 100s of bots in f2p worlds. They aren't going after individuals such as us and I highly doubt any court can seat 100k+ people for a lawsuit.

Finally someone who is making sense intelligence seems to be far and few on this topic. they believe what they hear blindly even though it came from the people being accused lol.

Does anyone honestly think they can be convicted for cheating in a game?
No not really, just ignore Jagex and live on .

We were on the same level until my second statement and your third.

You took my "where is the proof of a subpoena? there is none and tried to mash it into a cluster fuck to where I agree with you or something lol if you didn't notice there is a little thing called a question mark which means I asked you a question but before you wasted your time searching I already answered it for you.

Please feel free to read my thread I created about this topic to go over any information you feel I am wrong about. I have a law student with a more educated response saying the same thing I am now.

Also if you did think it couldn't\wouldn't happen then why keep arguing about the subject?

No I haven't changed any of your wording or taken it out of context, that has been you good sir.

Where is the proof of a subpoena? (question)
There is none. (answer)

So there is no proof?

How you should have put it.

Where is the subpoena? (question)
There is none. (answer)

So there's no subpoena.

Jagex once again, failed...

This whole thing is complete bullshit, and even laughable! This is such an obvious scare tactic.. The question I am more concerned with, is how did Jagex obtain these e-mails in the first place? PayPal seems very unlikely to be legally allowed to just hand out e-mails to prove who bought what. That infringes upon a person's rights.

And anybody who wants to laugh at me and say "This is real dude! Jagex is going to sue!". Well lets wait and see in the upcoming months what happens. I am 100% willing to bet that ANY AND ALL lawsuits that Jagex files will be against the MAJOR bot corporations and goldfarming companies, NOT against single, casual botters who purchased "Ibot" software from Nexus and botted a few times per week.

Also - I have hardly ever botted myself so I am not just some ignorant botter trying to stick up for the fact that I bot. I also did not recieve this email myself. I have had accounts on RS since 2000 and have spent probably wasted thousands of hours of my life playing Runescape legitimately, without the use of macro software. This is my OWN opinion, based on the fact that filing lawsuits against tens of thousands of 12 year old casual botters across the WORLD, is just complete and utter horseshit. The legal costs of lawyers and court time would FAR exceed any petty pocket change that they could hope to get from winning a case against you (ie. a few hundred bucks).

So everybody, relax. Jagex's ploy to scare the shit out of you is obviously working very well.

Absolutely true. Jagex wouldn't take thousands of 12 year olds to court unless it's over the course of a few years. If they do, how do they choose who they are taking to court and who they aren't. To what extent must you have botted in order for them to say, "Okay, I'll be taking you to court." or "You didn't bot to this extent, so you don't deserve to be taken to court."

Even if PayPal agrees to giving Jagex all of the email addresses who purchased botting licenses, WHO THE FUCK CARES? You can't take me to court for buying a botting license until you can prove I used it? I can buy whatever the fuck I want. In the USA, THIS IS A FREE MARKET ECONOMY. Shut the fuck up, Jagex.
