so why didn't they just do this instead of nerfing the rev caves?

We did, however the low requirements and vast amount of goldfarmers/people training the accounts meant they always had a huge supply

Not defending gold farming or this person. But curious on jagex stance on alt accounts. Are we ok to have vorkath/brutal black dragon alts? Even if we just trade with our main account? Not saying that's what has happened here. Just asking for myself

So long as you're not cheating then having alts is fine

You were banned for gold farming, along with 3,012 other accounts today.

The name I want is Olyimpus with letters only, so that's not a problem. Thanks for the input tho!

You should be able to grab that if the account is a member

/u/JagexSween maybe you can help me out?

I've checked and the system seems to have gotten to your account, apologies for the delay between the email and the actual action being taken.

You're preaching to the wrong crowd. The people that make these levels of decisions don't roam Reddit, or even help create the game. I imagine every dev/artist/QA/etc (on both OSRS and RS3) would want to get rid of bots, but knows that their higher ups only want X anti-cheating specialists per game.

Throwing more people at the problem won't solve it, there's lots of other limitations which are also being worked on.

Why is it temporary? Runescape has had botting problems since 2001. You need more than one full time staff member to handle the tens of thousands of suicide bots and various other bots that this game sees daily.

If you cut anti-cheating staff the bots will just flare up until this subreddit complains again. Jagex made over 50 million pounds of profit last year and over 100 in revenue, it baffles me how stingy they are with employees.

There's 7 members of the team who work across both RS and OSRS.

Why on earth is it a full time contract position? At least in the US that means you're cutting ~40% of your paycheck to taxes and receive vastly fewer protections than being an actual employee. You're often treated differently by staff as well... with even less job security.

It's pretty standard to bill double as a contractor to deal with the extra overhead, something tells me Jagex is not paying double.

Fixed term employees get full pay and benefits just like 'Full Time' members of staff. It is simply a temporary position.

The players involved have been punished accordingly, and will face additional action being taken against them if they continue to be disruptive.

Now my account got disabled for macroing, and it's unappealable. I had no offences until a hour ago. I would really appreciate some input here, as I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on this account and I suddenly got locked out of it after getting everything stolen.
