Hard to give these J-Mods who are working their asses off for the growth of OSRS gold a raise when Jagex spends so much on customer support...I don't blame them for not spending money on customer support. Since they're spending it all on bot detection.

And since they farmed for a day, they already ruined experience for someone playing on that day.Maybe not day ruining, but if you've ever tried to mine on a f2p world, there are stacks of bots on every decent mining spot. If you're low level you have no chance of beating them to mining the ore.You can have max stats in mining using best gear ever, 5 bots mining same rock will outmine you.

Lmfao jagex is a joke when it comes to customer support. Hell even runescape before jagex had shit customer support. You're joking right?

It really is, we've had some good new mods join, but seeing the great veteran mods leave is a big loss for the game and community.Ronan, Ayiza, Mat K, Munro, and most recently TomH who was the lead QA analyst. I believe a few more less known mods also left.Mod Atlas, the principle engine dev for both games, mainly osrs, just left announced his departure a couple of days ago.

Is Archie still around? I remember hitting up a few Q&As recently and he was nowhere to be seen.He is, the wiki says his title is video producer so it sounds like more behind the scenes stuff.

My bet is they realised the botting industry is beyond them. There's no tangible way to stop botting and they know the end isn't far away.Jagex is making huge profits but of course selfish pricks would rather see they make the most possible than give some raises and hire more staff.

To be fair, that's not really up to jagex at this point though, they are owned by another company and have shareholder obligations...They've had plenty of time before being acquired and they didn't do any better.

A company can always buy them back. Or go in controlled way bankrupt if the shares are worth more than the assets of the company. (Controlled benkrupt allows for a restart without losing any employers, only the shareholders are left in the dust).

For sure, they need to worry about themselves and their families over a game company that pays them a pittance. It's a shame to lose good people over something as simple as a competitive market wage when you have been growing and profiting over the past years.I feel like the shocking part of that statement is not the fact that the mod went to Adventure quest, but that they read about it on Myspace.

I know if I were Blizzard Activision I’d hire up all the jmods, offer them a nice ass deal get them to work for you. RuneScape is classic wows biggest competitor (probably I don’t actually know).

If their contracts weren’t renewed it could be as simple as performance issues or they found other jobs before their contracts ended, which is fair enough.Jagex is a joke. No customer support, actively encouraging bot farms with their ill conceived free mobile membership, shit pay for quality devs/mods and the list goes on - I’ve cancelled both my non iron memberships this week because I see as many bots as actual players.

With the value of some of the things, it can be quite profitable, I think the scrolls have been selling 3M each for a bit. They probably have gone down but they were only 50 points, now imagine that on 225 bots (the number the owner said he had when I was there) before they were banned. If they took competitive out of F2P that would remove the ability to recieve points but still let them play and learn how to do it and essentially kill the bots off of this.

Looking at all these comments and seeing how cut throat everyone is to anyone who even slightly deviates from their own world view. Can't imagine why Devs would want to leave this paradise of a community!
