Some of them aren't even using bots, they are just playing the game very repetitively with a single-minded purpose to collect gold. These people have no interest in playing the game properly, and therefore don't care if they get banned. The final effect is the same, though â?? it spoils the game for everyone else.

We can (and do) ban them - including using IP bans - but they still find ways to make accounts. We seized 6 billion in RuneScape gold by banning real-world traders last week! Unfortunately, these people are obliged to work such long hours and are paid such low wages that if even a tiny fraction of gold makes it to the market, those running the sweatshops will be encouraged to continue. This is why we are now further increasing our efforts.


here it is.:thumbsup:

I don't know if thats necessarily racists, as that is a huge problem...and it's really sad....

I do in a sense find it racists because it kind of seems they are generalizing all Koreans and Chinese are going to do that...

..but in fact I have heard of shit like that happening not even in just those places...but people do it for their personal wealth sometimes and I hear you can make alot of money...

If they claim there are sweatshops that do that in those countries, it is possible ya know? I don't know..
TallulahGreen Reviewed by TallulahGreen on . Does this sound racist to you? I play an mmorpg called Runescape. I'm sure many of you are familiar with it. Well, today they put a message on their main page that made me raise my eyebrow. 1. I hardly think playing a video game qualifies as working in a sweatshop. I mean, I actually pay to play the game. So when they compare playing this game to working in a sweatshop, I just think that's a ridiculous statement. 2. I hardly think it's right to assume if you're chinese that must mean you work in a sweatshop. Rating: 5
