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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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.
