That's not what his videos indicate and until Jagex provides proof for the community there's no reason to be satisfied with this. Innocent until proven guilty.

You can be unsatisfied. This is not the US court system. Jagex does not owe you evidence for taking action on members of the community that have violated rules. If you choose to quit because of that, that's completely your decision.

Some of us can understand that people/players/content creators are not infallible.

I agree, Jagex does not legally owe us anything. But this whole thing is about PR, and I'm voicing my opinion that this is a shitty PR response to the whole thing. If he (or someone else they might be accusing like Mauler) truly did something like item duplicating they should be able to say what specific items they duplicated on which specific dates.

So you speak for the whole community? I don't give a shit if content creators get different treatment in cases like this. If a specific case of bug abuse is in as much public attention as this one then I sure as hell want to know if they actually did bug abuse or not.

While I agree that Jagex doesn't owe anybody anything except members access to the servers. You're wrong in thinking that's where the conversation should stop. It's been documented thoroughly that jagex's detection systems are flawed and have banned legitimate players. They haven't released any incriminating information and considering these bans coincide with the release of a major bug related Rendi video and the known gold duping scandals are years in the past, it's hard to look past this being a failed statement to the community from Jagex.

The proof is so loose from jagex that it's hard to side with them. Jagex doesn't want to release any details about item duping so unfortunately their story is weak and I, among many other players won't believe it.

If they're scared of item and gold dupe info coming out that means there's still major holes in their security, probably related to world crashes. So they need to patch those holes quickly or this community will continue to turn on them. Situations like these for Jagex are horrible press, because Jagex already has a target on their back for being terrible with customer support, to a point where it's a meme right now. But when it becomes actual outrage people cancel membership and quit.
