Would you leak it?

[Flight]

I would use it until I had my fill then sell the method for a decent amount.

I wouldn't give a fuck about what would happen to the game/economy.

I made my money, and quit.

 

[Lucster]

Keep it to myself, sell tons of it. When I can't be assed with it anymore I'd probably ask Jagex for a sum of money in exchange for the bug.

This is the key to actually find out if Jagex can really sue you with messing with their game.

OT - i'd suck it dry for everything it has and not tell.

 

[glamazonia]

Finally, what if you found a loophole in the game that allows, for example, easy GP by selling items that have little worth in the GE to an NPC for 100 times the price. Would you tell somebody, like close friends, Jagex, everyone, etc?

Yeh, I would.

And that life-time membership is only worth 3-4 years (Source: I think RS forums).

I thought it was around 10ish years?

Anyways, on topic, I would probably tell a couple close friends after I used it for a little bit(to at least get done what I planned), then they could leak it all they want.

 

[aguero]

if there was any method that only I knew that gave me an insane advantage over everyone there is absolutely no way I would tell anybody.

 

[Snow Patrol]

Id probably let some close IRL friends in on it, and we'd do it together.

*cough cough* *nudge nudge* *wink wink*

I don't understand why this is even up for debate. Who'd rather kill their money method than use it?

 

[kill dank]

I would keep it and sell the things I made to support my self in real life.

 

[Panda!]

I would basically make a living off it until it was patched, wouldn't leak it to anybody.

If I could duplicate money, I would simple spread around 500B throughout accounts, sell it off with a gold shop.

 

[Zerkerfist]

I think I would tell a real life friend of mine who plays RS, and maybe my little brothers. But I wouldn't tell anybody ingame that I couldn't beat the living fuck out of if they started spreading it throughout the game.

Also - Regarding the PHAT duplication glitch back in RSC, apparantly the player who came forth and offered to teach Jagex how the glitch worked in exchange for lifetime membership, actually got BANNED from Runescape instead of being "rewarded". I read that awhile ago when I was doing some research on the famous phat-dupe, and I will try to look around for the info and playername and post here when I find it.

 

[Zerkerfist]

I found one of the quotes I had read before stating that the person who came forward and revealed the glitch to Jagex was subsequently banned, not rewarded.

Andrew doesn't have sense of humor. Mod Mark does. He's the man! But
Andrew... You should all send e-mail to Andrew and tell him you love him, he's
very sad and lonely. Andrew promised Dylock lifetime membership if he helps.
Instead of that he banned his account. Go on, help the kind RS mods, your reward
will be a ban, you know you want it.

Lol thanks , i'll put this in the thread. I lol'ed

 

[Gold Crown]

No, I would not leak it, because I'm selfish.

;nuffsaid

 

[chic_raw]

obviously keep it to myself. Tbh if you leak it thats stupid cuz jagex will fix it. and is that duplicate story true?

 

[Chavo]

Probably just keep to myself :huh:

 

[Beav3r]

lol "life time membership"

Highly unlikely RS will last more than 10 years.. 10 years oh membership is like $800... You would make much more selling it. If you weren't stupid and slowly sold it off after "laundering" it you would be much safer.

 

[isomerase]

The 'duplication' bug was real, and this was Jagex's acknowledgement of it: http://services.runescape.com/m=news/item-bug-fix-updated

It's worth noting that the above announcement states there were less partyhats in circulation than in the previous year. Unless they were lying, presumably Jagex had deleted a number of hats and/or crackers from the database to remedy the problem, without having to resort to a roll-back.

On topic: To answer all of the questions, I would take full advantage in any one of those scenarios for my personal gain, and tell no one about any of them. I see no advantage in telling anyone about those types of secrets. I also wouldn't tell Jagex, even if they offered me anything in exchange for information; I don't trust that they would hold up their end of the deal, considering they would have no legal obligation to.

 

[alekxtincteur]

Keep it to myself. Lol honestly why releasing it ?

Decoda117@: I LOVE your sig

 

[MrInfinity]

Well I'd share it with all the people who posted in my thread. Lol? Do you have something you're holding out with, or is it just for curiosity?

Anyways, like most said id get my cash, stash it away from the eyes of jagex.

But I'd also spread the love around if I got it for nothing, not saying i'd give out my secrets but I'd be dropping money all over RS. Make a few kids week or something nice.
