Has anyone been banned because of Rule 12?

[tyo22]

Has anyone been banned for doing a habbo->rs trade?

Let's say you're giving 1.3mill for a t - wouldn't it look a lot like your selling rs cash for paypal? ;S

I haven't been banned yet :) and hopefully will never be.

Has anyone? :(

[JonJon]

How could you? Youd say stuff about trading to habbo to rune im pm.... so no one would see it, so they wouldnt report.

[tyo22]

Don't they have software and trading logs that look for large amounts of $ being traded for no reason? :s

[Royksopp]

talk in a secret place where no one goes like fally world 2

[Sly]

Steve330 got a 3 day ban cause he told a Pmod what he had done =\


I've never been banned for that reason.

[Bielby2ooo]

Aww Jake

Quit on my bday ;[


Also

never been banned for it

[bowrox]

They can pick up keywords in convos like 'habbo' and detct large amounts being traded in one ended heavy trades

[JamesR]

No they cannot.. I used to DUPE when runescape first came out... They have detecting systems that see if person is trading 1MILL + on trades..

When trading habbo for RS.. You should always add a little something like a apron


2,000,000 gold for an apron :P There systems will not tell them anything....


Ive been banned only once...

Good technique :P

[Ashley 12344]

Or say happy birthday =]

Summit like that anyway. I doubt you'd get banned for 100k, but 1mil+ and you may.

[devils_eye23]

[JonJon]

MAJOR UNLUCKY

POST 1.5K!

[JoeyK.]

Hmmm..... Well, I'm a bit paranoid, whenever I've done it lately I've always drop traded the cash to the other person :P

[Badgez]

I'm sure millions of people have been banned for rule 12.

[PS2.]

How could you? Youd say stuff about trading to habbo to rune im pm.... so no one would see it, so they wouldnt report.
This has happened to me. Doesn't matter if you're reported or not, Jagex tracks all unbalanced trades. For instance if you give someone 1 mil and don't receive anything in return, Jagex sees it as Real World\Non-RS Item Trading. I've been perm banned because of this. After 5 appeals I was unbanned.

EDIT: JoeyK, I think the moniter that aswell, I'm not too sure though.

[mr.parasols]

How can they moderate drop trading? Because, if you were to die and loose your money its exactly the same. And people die with loads of money all the time PKing

[Stress Free]

I supose if you were that paranoid you could stake it in a duel and make shure the other person wins i.e you wear no armour or weapons and turn auto reteliate off lawl

[JoeyK.]

Good idea... except when they want to give it to you through their lv 3 account :P

I don't know why so many people do that, but whatever...

[Ashley 12344]

Btw, they pick up drop trading as well.

[JonJon]

My favourite rune story ever: involving drop trading: I went up to the Death Plateau, walked up and got bombed with rock from the trolls. So I went back down, and someone was just standing there. I asked him 'What are you doing?' and he just said nothing, hoping I would go away. I just stood there curiously, until suddenly a red dot appeared on my mini map! I rushed over, to find a pile of coins and 2 acorns lieing there. I picked them both up, and there was.... 50k coins! Not too good, pretty ok though. The guy go really annoyed and was threatening to hack me and Im like 'Your fault for drop tradiing'

[Ashley 12344]

Yeah, drop trade thieves are really annoying. Like arrow stealers in free worlds, only not as extreme.

[JonJon]

Im not annoying :P

[bowrox]

When ranging you have 60 secs to pick them up before they appear for everyone. That 60 secs is your chance, then it is everyones arrows to pick up. They can't thieve because they don't appear until there everyones.

[Mr Vodor]

no ..

[JonJon]

Ha wow, I didnt know how long it takes until everyone can see it. Thanks for the info.

[Ryan.]

hmm this has never happened to me - i always lend my mates money and trade for habbo but nothing ever get's done
and also if you report people they don't ban - coz loadsa people tried reporting me for real life trading (habbo) but nothing got done about it so it's a load of poo - even though loadsa people have been baned for rule 12 =[

Runescape are attempting to crack down on the amount of people doing this though. Part of their attempting to stop macroing.
