![]() Please get your facts correct before flaming There is already a huge black market for paypal accounts for non Runescape purposes. All of Jagex's payment methods use third party services already. They said if they didn't do it when they did a few years down the line they would have had to close Runescape.īlizzard on the other hand, is a much larger well established company that probably could quite easily afford the loss, but as its not f2p (by that i mean you have to buy the game not just membership) the amount of bots/chargebacks is a lot lower than that of jagex.Ĭould you quit that "credit fraud argument" already? - It's a pretty bad reason as there are lots of other ways to beat it (for example use a third party thing like paypal instead: This might cost a bit more but I for one would gladly pay those 0.30 euros extra to get some wilderness feeling again!).īecause it was the reason! Using paypal and any other method does not prevent charge backs, infact paypal is one of the worse methods, as its so easy to recall payments. And because of this was loosing alot of money. It wasn't just the fact that the bots were ruining the community, it was because of all the chargebacks jagex was getting from accounts from bots that used false information, or credit card fraud. And the fact you could make $1200 a week alone with a 4 man RWT group, there's wikipedia articles on it. Runescapes will always be 4-5x worse, as the items that are most popular were usually available in free servers. ![]() WoW & Runescape are different in this way, you have to pay for WoW thus the RWT's isn't going to be as huge as Runescapes will be. Thus Jagex decided it wasn't going to happen any longer. It was getting to the point that the economy wasn't based by players alone in the majority. And as you could tell, first it was trees, then essence miners, then fisher miners, and even runecrafting RWT's started to appear selling nature runes. The RWT's eventually got this amount and they had been influencing prices on many items. Or that's how a mod explained it quite a few years back.Īnyways in RuneScape, the economy is extremely influential if you have 'enough' gold. Jagex had to remove RWT's because RWT's in Runescape wasn't just one company, it was basically small to medium sized cells operating in various locations around the world. So why do you guys think Jagex had to do what they did in order to eliminate this threat whilst Blizzard is able to go about without worrying about it? Baldheaded Goatee wearing a brown shirt and green pants (not hard to differentiate in Runescape). My question is why has Jagex had to go through such extreme measures to remove it when a much more popular game such as WoW still has RWT + pking + Free Trade? When I asked my friend this very question he told me that in WoW it was easy to spot Bots and Real World Traders based on thier appearance. One of my friends in real life who plays WoW as opposed to Runescape has told me a lot about the selling of gold online and that it can fetch quite a fortune for high levels in game (I don't support, but then again I don't play WoW so I also don't care). ![]() ![]() What you may not know is that RWT doesn't only happen in Runescape, but other popular games such as World of Warcraft. Well we all know what happened with Runescape and RWT, how it "destroyed" pking and laissez faire. ![]() (It's also not a bring back wildy/free trade thread -.- ) Before you readers start assuming I am talking about Runescape versus World of Warcraft in terms of gameplay let me just say you are mistaken and need to continue reading. ![]()
