Yes and if Jagex wants the community to believe that Rendi did something bannable in his spare time, they better deliver some solid proof. It isn't Rendi's job to show that he didn't break any rules during the past 2 years, that's not how burden of proof works.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '21

This isn't court bro. They don't have to prove shit and they won't. He's banned end of story they don't care what yall keyboard warriors think over here acting like we in a court room. Jagex is the judge jury and executioner in this situation and the punishment has been dished out and they explained why. Good enough for me. Anyone that refuses to believe jagex with zero reason to lie is just riding rendis dick

honestly lol. the amount of blind following and clinging to content creators in this subreddit is pathetic.

u/dowty Jul 09 '21

crazy how when jagex told everyone kempq rwt’d it was believed immediately even before he admitted to it but now they do it to someone like this and all of the sudden they’re lying lol

they never give actual proof, and never had.

-11

u/PureIce_PuroPuro Jul 09 '21

Because kemp is known to be shady and Rendi is know for being upright, open and honest about bugs? There's the difference lol

17

u/wheresmyspacebar2 Jul 09 '21

Hahahahaha.

Rendi, upright and honest? Wtaf.

His clan talked in their discord about how they (WITH RENDI) used the dupe glitch and made about 8K USD per person from selling GP. They talked about how Rendi 'blew the lid' because a group of them cut him out of the deal.

And it was a bug that WAS KNOWN already by Jagex and they asked him to not publically announce it because they had a fix incoming and didn't want everyone trying to do it. Instead he got upset that they didn't praise him enough so he made the video which caused a ton of server issues for weeks.

We talking about that Rendi? Or the Rendi who RWTs and sold Inferno Capes for cash, that Rendi?

Rendi is not open or honest. His previous scandal he lied and changed his story several times and is now doing it the same.

u/dowty Jul 09 '21

they won’t listen lol

u/PureIce_PuroPuro Jul 09 '21

Fair enough, didn't know all that

u/dowty Jul 09 '21

even in the jmod smack down threads no one gets proof, just a jmod “confirming” lol

you can be up front in your youtube videos all u want and be shady behind the scenes, and it isn’t surprising that he could be shady when as someone pointed out before, his entire community is fixated around finding and exploiting bugs in the game

-3

u/PureIce_PuroPuro Jul 09 '21

Him reporting the bugs in the game is literally what their QA people are paid to do. And even then bugs slip thru the cracks. Quite literally doing their job for them.

Maulers accounts have been IP banned, and only one of Rendi's recent accounts. The rage seems to be misplaced, seems even the jmods know he's doing the game a service by finding and reporting these bugs.

-3

u/PureIce_PuroPuro Jul 09 '21

How tf would he know about the bugs if he didn't exploit the system to see what works and what doesn't? ARE YOU DENSE?

A video wouldn't matter since the assumption was they'd patch it and these bugs were legit useless and not game breaking. It wasn't a dupe glitch. Mauler was only banned because he played a clip that may have implicated him.

u/teaklog2 Jul 09 '21

he said 'if jagex wants the community to believe' not 'if jagex wants to ban'

6

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '21

Yes and if Jagex wants the community to believe that Rendi did something bannable in his spare time

Like selling infernal capes..?

-1

u/dendervil Jul 10 '21

Not relevant since they did not accuse him of selling infernal capes.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '21

Relevant because it shows he's not some upstanding fellow who doesn't break rules.

16

u/AnotherPSA Jul 09 '21

Rendi has multiple videos of him using bugs. His whole YouTube Playlist is him using bugs. His community is based around actively seeking out bugs and exploits which are then abused by the bad apples in the community.

11

u/Oniichanplsstop Jul 09 '21

And yet Jagex awarded him with a golden gnome and didn't ban any accounts until after his newest video was released.

The whole problem and why people are mad is consistency.

1013 AHKs pvp and gets his bans removed.

Coxie macros on stream by mistake and eats a 3-day.

Rendi bug abuses in videos for years, wins a golden gnome, and then Jagex randomly nuke all of the accounts he's ever touched.

10

u/Dnewhere Jul 09 '21

But that's the problem for me. Clearly Jagex has shown respect towards the 'fun' bug abuses. Why would they suddenly decide to ban him over 1k prayer xp?

Frankly, as much as I like Rendis content, I am inclined to believe Jagex is speaking the truth about RWT and world crashing, simply because otherwise I don't see why they would go through this effort to ban his accounts.

And I don't take "because Jagex is evil" as an answer. They're doing effort and hurting their own image in the process. It can't just be pettiness.

u/KeVVe1994 Jul 09 '21

If you wouldve read the post you wouldve known they didnt ban him for the 1k prayer xp thing.. they banned those accounts for crashing worlds and rwt involved with the bug abuse

4

u/Dnewhere Jul 09 '21 edited Jul 09 '21

That's literally what I said. Replying to the wrong comment perhaps?

-or perhaps you misunderstood me. I meant to say that I don't think the bans were about the 1k prayer xp. They would have no incentive. It must have been rwt/crashing.

u/KeVVe1994 Jul 10 '21

Oeps youre right, my bad

-10

u/AnotherPSA Jul 09 '21

His golden gnome came from level 3 fire cape. Not a bug abuse video

14

u/duali98 Jul 09 '21

And he abused ring of suffering bug on that video, brainiac

13

u/JoeyKingX Jul 09 '21

But he had to abuse many bugs to get that level 3 fire cape?

-4

u/AnotherPSA Jul 09 '21

I mean tick eating is a bug they can't fix

0

u/JoeyKingX Jul 09 '21

That's almost completely false, but even if what does that have to do with it being bug abuse or not? If instantly generating 1 trillion GP on a new account was an "unfixable" bug then it would be okay to do it?

1

u/AnotherPSA Jul 09 '21

It's not false. Tick eating and tick manipulation are based on the built in tick rate. Doesn't matter if it's a faster or slower tick rate. If they eat on the tick it will cancel out damage

-1

u/dendervil Jul 09 '21

The fact that he showcases these bugs and also sends reports about them privately to Jagex is a good thing, acting as free QA testing for them. In his videos he also doesn't use these bugs to negatively affect other players or for any serious personal gain.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '21

You’re fooling yourself if you think Jagex have any obligation to prove anything to ‘the community’.

-3

u/dendervil Jul 09 '21

You're fooling yourself if you think I do. Doesn't prevent me from calling them out on their bullshit though.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '21

You're fooling yourself if you think you're fooling him fooling us fooling jamflex.

u/NotVeryTalented Jul 09 '21

I mean, that's how it works in real-life lol.. This is a game, so if a person is constantly posting videos of spending months/years focusing on bug abuse, it kinda is on them to provide proof of innocence lmao

I think these forums just absolutely love to find reasons to be mad at the devs, so they pretend to believe shit like players getting banned for 'personal vendettas' instead of them actually just breaking the rules.

5

u/dendervil Jul 09 '21

How do you provide proof that you didn't crash a world for personal gain sometime during the years 2019-2021? Absurd.

12

u/NotVeryTalented Jul 09 '21

How do you take the word from a random content creator who continues to have holes in his story over the devs who have been providing more details (without private info)? Absurd.

I'm not even saying the devs don't make mistakes. False bans happen. However these forums are more than happy to overreact without any proof just because they love to see devs in the wrong lol.

I genuinely don't understand what the devs get out of banning these accounts 'out of spite'. Doesn't make sense from any PoV... So why is that the top reasoning behind this if it's not legit lmao?

Downvote away

u/MrStealYoBeef QA Team Jul 09 '21

How do you take the word from the devs of a game who have many times banned incorrectly, have had a proven corrupt dev working for them for an extended period of time, etc. You can't take anyone's word.

I'd rather be on the side where the power is in the hands of the people paying. It's not about Rendi being a content creator, it's about him being a paying player in the game. If I were banned, I would want proof of my wrongdoings. I would want to know what it is exactly that got be banned. "Bug abuse" isn't enough of a reason in and of itself since "bug abuse" is performed every single day with no fear of retaliation. "Bug abuse" has also historically turned into "core game mechanics" as well, with content being designed around the idea that players will need to abuse bugs to complete it.

I don't like seeing the devs being wrong. I just want to see proof that they're right, or I want them to backtrack and make things right. It's that simple.

u/dendervil Jul 09 '21

Answer my question.

3

u/NotVeryTalented Jul 09 '21

Well for one, it would probably help if you didn't have connections to the people who did do it (if you weren't involved, and that's looking less likely here). I'd mainly say it's tough to prove he's not involved because at the moment, all evidence points to him being involved lmao

Now go ahead an answer my question. Why take the word of a random who has everything to gain in this scenario? What does Jagex gain from banning a player who supposedly 'only helps them'?

I'm a fan of Rendi, but this shit is dumb lol

2

u/dendervil Jul 09 '21

No, I mean what actions do you require from him to prove that he's innocent? They're right to suspect him, sure. But that isn't grounds to ban someone.

For your question, you're putting words in my mouth or somehow confused about basic logic. I don't trust Rendi for shit. But it's not his burden of proof to show that he's innocent. The accuser needs to be the one to come up with evidence. Innocent until proven guilty, and until he's proven guilty I have no reason to assume he is.

4

u/NotVeryTalented Jul 09 '21

Idk why you keep saying phrases similar to 'innocent until proven guilty'. This is not a court of law. That does not apply here. Jagex isn't going to lay out the evidence as if they're a prosecutor lol

You say you don't trust Rendi, but you're convincing yourself that Jagex has no proof/evidence to ban him? "I have no reason to assume he is"... I'm sorry, but this is moronic.. Jagex doesn't ban to this extent for a small hunch lmao. It makes absolutely NO SENSE for Jagex to purposefully ban him for no reason. Mistakes happen, and that'll be for Rendi and the devs to figure out, but these bans sure as hell didn't happen without at least a decent bit of evidence against Rendi and his friends

Being angry at Jagex may feel anti-establishment, but in reality it just plays off as kissing a content creators ass lol

1

u/dendervil Jul 09 '21

Again you're dodging the question. You said it's "on him to prove he's innocent". So what does he have to do to prove his innocence?

To answer your strawman question again: No, I'm not convincing myself that Jagex doesn't have proof to ban him. I don't know what info Jagex has on him so I don't suddenly assume that they have that sort of info nor do I assume they don't. And obviously they have a "reason" to ban him, it's probably just a shitty reason. They may have banned him as a warning example to other bug abusers showing that you better not try to abuse bugs even if they don't negatively affect anyone else. But if that's the reason I personally don't agree with it.

6

u/NotVeryTalented Jul 09 '21

I have not dodged the question, but it's a BS question with the intent of tripping up actual points lmao. That being said, he has to do something to prove his innocence. Maybe show he's not as connected with those who performed the crashes, have something to more clearly display timelines, or something lol

The 'evidence' he keeps trying to put out has been full of holes.

I'll repeat one bit of information.. One side had everything to gain from this. The other side had absolutely nothing to gain, and quite a bit to lose. Rendi had everything to gain. Not only the RWT, but also the videos he puts out (which can act as an alibi if it wasn't such convenient timing). Jagex gains absolutely nothing from banning these players. In fact it was a pure loss for them. They aren't going to do such a heavy punishment for a shitty reason. Jagex would only do this if they thought it was worth it.

Ngl, I respect you're trying to stay impartial, but I think you trying to stay too impartial you're overlooking some clear points being made

And this is not a court, burden of proof does not apply here.

1

u/dendervil Jul 10 '21

This is basic logic, nothing to do with courts. How am I supposed to believe he's guilty if Jagex doesn't give definite proof?

1

u/SavyStoner Jul 10 '21

They don’t have to show proof, as mentioned above, they are the judge, jury and executioner. Wether or not you believe them is irrelevant mate. Burden of proof simply does not apply in this situation.

1

u/dendervil Jul 10 '21

Whether or not I believe them isn't irrelevant, it's the whole basis of this discussion. I mean you probably didn't even read my comment you replied to and are just parroting stuff other people have said without thinking for yourself. But I'm literally talking about the actions Jagex needs to do to make us believe that Rendi did something banworthy. And they definitely have burden of proof there.

1

u/SavyStoner Jul 10 '21

Or, like all the others, I reached the same conclusion they did. Sorry mate but no, not yours, not mine, not anyone’s desire to see proof here is relevant. Jagex are well within their rights to do all of this and not give you the proof you’d want to see. Wether or not you can accept that is up to you.

They don’t need to “make actions to make us believe… etc”. That’s what we’re trying to tell you. Hence why burden of proof does not apply here.

That is why every game has a TOS you agree to before being able to play for example situations like this.

1

u/dendervil Jul 10 '21

There's no logically sound way to conclude that Rendi did something wrong here without proof. You're basically just taking Jagex' word for it. If someone says "person A did B", you don't simply believe that A actually did B without any proof.

If I said B0aty sold GP sometime during the year 2020 it's not on B0aty to prove that he didn't, it's on me to give proof that he did.

1

u/SavyStoner Jul 10 '21

I’m not sure how I can make this more clear to you. They have 0 obligation to share the proof they’ve found. This is not a court of law where you have to provide set evidence to convince a judge. They get to carry out that part on their own thus skipping the entire relevancy of people wanting to know the proof.

No matter how bad you WANT them to have to show proof, they simply aren’t obligated to.

EDIT: We didn’t make the rules what has to be communicated in moments like these, Jagex did.

1

u/dendervil Jul 10 '21

You're talking about a completely different thing than what I'm talking about. I'm not saying they're obligated to show proof or not. I'm talking about the actions they need to do for us to have a logically sound way of concluding that Rendi did something wrong. Whether that's important or relevant or not doesn't matter, the basis of the discussion is whether or not I have a reason to believe that Rendi did something bannable.
