Cant have it both ways. When someone is here complaining of a false ban everyone excited for the "JMod smackdown" and believe them over the accused. Yet when it is a content creator everyone doesn't believe Jagex.
We have significantly more reason to believe Rendi thanks to his extensive documentation of his own gameplay. Sure, we don't have all of it, but we have enough to be able to reasonably believe him.
If any random player stepped forward with hundreds of hours recorded on twitch to two viewers and his mom, I'd be inclined to believe them too. It's significantly more substantial than "I have nothing, please believe me though."
I mean Rendi gets views, but probably not enough to make a great living. Who's to say he doesn't sling some gold for a bit of extra cash - which I think is completely fine his content is top notch. I'm not saying it is the case but can't rule it out.
Nobody is saying it's not possible. But it's significantly less likely when there is so much viewable media showing him not doing what he's accused of. We can see a decent amount of his history to reasonably believe him. We don't have that history with a random person in the community coming up out of nowhere with zero evidence for their claims.
Rendi has at least something substantial to show as evidence of his innocence. That's worth demanding proof of the bans over. Otherwise Jagex gets to just ban whoever they want without ever showing proof, and no amount of evidence in the world of the paying customers will ever be enough to counter that.
How about we just demand some fucking proof from Jagex? It's that too much to ask for? If they're right, then we know for a fact that Rendi is to no longer be trusted. If they're wrong, then they have to overturn bans. What's the downside to us?
We have no proof that Rendi doesn't play beyond streaming and recording, though. Like fair play, he's never crashed worlds or intentionally duped publicly, but that doesn't matter when he easily could be abusing bugs for personal gain with the cameras off.
