Jagex Falsely Accusing Players of Password Scamming

It looks like my account is almost banned, or muted - when I log into my account's control pannel, I see that it is in the red zone... even upwards of where it says 'danger'. While I was trying to propose some players to receive a membership in exchange for written guides about runescape that I'd put here, it looks like some idio*s have reported me for no apparent reason, and Jagex have accused me of Password Scamming - for no reason at all.

Jagex must be kidding me on this. In real-life, I work upwards of 60 hours a week at my full time job, and have little time to either play runescape or update this runescape blog on a consistent basis. As a result, I sometimes propose people to help me out with writing guides in exchange for a runescape membership that I give out by sending them a membership pin (see example of post here). To make things clear, I never ask anybody for their password; I neither have the time, nor the interest of playing on an account which is not mine. Note that I have been offered and given accounts several times, which I never made use of (for reasons stated above).

Anyway, once logged in at the <appeal an offence> section and under the "see proof" link, here's the so-called "proof" that they have against me for "password scamming".Ps* Note that in the copy/pasted text, I have replaced my own rs username with "me" in order to remain confidential and have replaced HIS(the guy who reported me) blacked out name with his real username (Dirtybbqchip) - so everyone knows him (the f*#$%& deserves it) ;

Me: hey there, wanted to tell you very well written guide youve posted

Dirtybbqchip: thank you

Me: I myself am the owner of a rs blog-fansite and wanted to ask you if

Me: if you would like to receive compensation for written guides of that quality

Dirtybbqchip: and you know saying something like that breaks several

Dirtybbqchip: rs rules

Me: no in-game compensantion, of course its against the rules

Dirtybbqchip: you'd have to get personal details

Dirtybbqchip: which is

Me: I do not want personal details

Me: I would be willing to pay for your membership for well written guides like that

----------------
And the "proof" as seen on my screen stops here. In other words, that is the "proof" that Jagex has against me for "Password Scamming" Note that I have of course never asked him for his password, and on top of that told him that I did not want his personal details.

This is the second time that Jagex falsely accuses me of password scamming. My account has been temporarily muted and the graph showing my account status is red, with 95% of the line filled! For reference, I have already handed membership pins to two players who wrote me some guides earlier this year (that I have never yet published), and everything went well - they were happy with their membership and me with my guides.

I have re-read runescape's complete rules of conduct, trying to find a way that I might have broken a rule, and can confirm that according to Jagex's guide, no rule has been broken. Also note the <Real world trading> rule is not broken, because here two real-world items are being traded (and not one in-game item against a real world item). So 'No unfair advantage has been gained.

Only one big unfair disadvantage.

Comming back to Runescape yet Again!

It's hard not to return again to runescape. Even after the series of bad updates over the last few months and years such as the EP update, the hp/constitution update (10 times more hp) , the trade limit, and more - it is not easy to bury down all the good (and bad) memories over the past couple of years and settle to never come back to play again.

So indeed, after several months of having quit runescape , I am back yet again into the game. But this time I will try to correct myself, and not make the same mistakes that I've made in the past, and led me to quit earlier. Here's what I've proposed myself;

• Play a reasonable amount of runescape, do not play as a maniac or "Grinding" as it's called
• Set myself realistic goals - For instance I aim to get my pure from 80 range,79 strenght and magic to 83 range (hit 14s on rapid!) , 85 magic (teleblock!) and 85 ish strenght (more Ko'ing power).
• Not ''work'' anymore for gp or the right to have fun in pvp. Before, a skilled pker could be self-sufficient and have the loot pay up for pvp expenses/supplies. Now with the EP system, you can't do that anymore no matter how good you are (unless you are willing to wait 30 minutes between every kill for ep - which is highly unreasonable). So I figured the only way to do this would be to make gp while sleeping via the grand exchange! I currently have around 3 million gp which gets me around 150k profit per day. I am aiming for 500k gp profit a day through GE, in order to be able to sustain even the longest pking days.
• Bring up at least one blog post per week here. It is fun to share thoughts and ideas that we can relate to, and in same time, build good memories written black on white, that will last and that we can come back to time and time again.

For instance, I can't wait to finish these goals. They would be one heck of a good relief! Especially if it happens before 2011. Either way, I will keep you updated.
