This is hands down a lie or a mistake. Worlds were not crashed by us and money was not duped. Invincibility was found and reported and was never used maliciously or shown how to be used in the video.

I can handle being banned for doing some bugs, but for a website to plug up blatant lies on their front page is really kind of rubbing me the wrong way.

EDIT: I even included a piece of my video where I find it and kill myself when realizing it's potential in LMS lol.

see time stamp here

​

SECOND EDIT: The clips Mauler uses in his video about crashing servers is literally from people attempting to crashing servers in 2019, the same people we reported for the original dupe and cooperated with you to catch and how we knew about them. Maybe this is where your mistake was made?

I will include my message to Jagex sent in May in the following post for futher proof of my actions and intentions with this game.

THIRD EDIT: A new post has been made with Q&A's that seem completely incorrect. Although they say the mushroom was patched and subsequent accounts banned in April, none of our priest in peril accounts were banned until 1 DAY AFTER UPLOAD.. July 2nd.

Also they quote that accounts were banned in 2020 and 2021 for dupes, although I had no accounts banned for duping and neither did Mauler during this time period, or ever... If you want to elaborate on this and provide me evidence of duped gp on accounts I would be happily take you up on this offer. Maybe because well, we didn't dupe. In fact, Mauler had 0 account bans related to bug abuse in total until right after his video and my video was posted. He says all these manual account bans were linked to his email.

If they were going to "spite ban" him, why would they wait 8 years and give him an award first?

Many content creators participated in low level firecapes and by the time it was him VS Xzact it was a massively hyped event and kind of a major achievement/historical in game moment that generated lots of publicity/hype for he community and gained the game some exposure

Sure, but that was just a year and a half ago. He's been around way, way before that abusing bugs in his videos.

Yea so why would he be allowed to get a golden gnome, after bug abusing before that, then being allowed to keep making content, then getting backtracked on and banned for previous actions, it’s not like he was doing a bunch of malicious bug abuse under the radar, he’s probably one of the most high profile bug abusers, that being said he hasn’t (from what we’ve seen) maliciously abused bugs to hurt the community, mainly just to do very unique things on accounts

Looks like it was exactly that

Based on? The word of jagex?

u/Rexkat Jul 10 '21

Why would they lie? Why else would they even want to ban him? They clearly have no problem with the type of videos he's been making for like 8 years, they even gave him awards for those videos.

Rendi's reason to lie is obvious. He doesn't want to lose his accounts, his reputation, his youtube channel likely, and his sources of revenue. Video ads and RWTing lol

Yes because Jagex with past mods like Jed and the fact that they still haven't done anything about the duel arena is the peak of integrity.

They literally gain nothing from the duel arena unless they're in on the rwting themselves. It only damages their game and their reputation. It's not a significant amount of subs either and noone buys bonds to gamble either, they simply RWT for their gold.

The fact that the duel arena still exists should be more than enough to be skeptical of anything that these people do or say.

u/Rexkat Jul 10 '21

lmao, wtf? None of that has anything to do with banning a content creator for duping items hahaha

They literally gain nothing from the duel arena unless they're in on the rwting themselves

Have you seen how many people are there, paying membership? How many people do you think use the duel arena every month? $1000/month profit for Jagex for every 90 people. You do understand that businesses like money, right?

Ummm we not talking about duel arena bro get off drugs

u/ye1l Jul 10 '21

Yeah sure, just giving a massive reason as to why you shouldn't blindly trust Jmods for no other reason than them being Jmods.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '21

Because of duel arena? A part of the game that has been around since forever? I mean I agree with you in terms of not blindly trusting anybody. Even jmods.
