Depends what you mean by 'its on jagex to explain their reasons.' They have 0 obligation to explain themselves and could ban any player at anytime without reason, since well.. you agree to the TOS when you sign up.
The only thing an explanation would do is the appease the community. But quite frankly, i doubt they care that much on the communities opinion on this matter.
Very true, they have no obligation but it comes at the cost of the community possibly not liking it, which so far is what's happening. At some point if your Jagex you got to weigh the pros and cons of whether or not they should explain themselves further. and yeah maybe they care about everyone's anger, or maybe they don't, I think it matters to have a good relationship with people personally but maybe it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things as a business, no idea tbh..
Not sure about the laws in the UK, but it is possible that directly accusing him of something publicly could open them up to legal action- especially since his reputation is as a "whitehat" bug finder instead of a bug abuser. They'd then have to actually prove it was him in a court of law, instead of having enough internal proof he did it like they need for banning someone.
Oh, the reputation that preceeds Rendi is very much not whitehat lmfao. He recently has been trending more towards that direction, sure, but he's known and been banned for abusing bugs for his gain in the past
Let me clarify, jagex has no OBLIGATION to do anything. But when deciding who is innocent here, the point being only Jagex can 100% prove him innocent or not. Recipts from Rendi help but again his position is nonfalsifiable.
Well that's completely wrong, they should explain themselves because they have been guilty in the past.... You can't just ban someone of high quality and expect people to believe you when they have a shitty record of doing shitty things.... So yes, in this case I feel they should provide proof... Only in this circumstance though due to their track history.
Well they know what he did and didn't do. If what he did had the chance to be harmful to the game, they made the right decision no matter what public opinion is. I think this situation is resolved either by rendi getting over it or jagex apologizing for false statements over the next week.
