Help Jagex! NOT hate them!

Forum for runescape players - http://z7.invisionfree.com/rsm... NOTE - Any comments made purely to flame something will be removed, if you're going to post a negative comment, at least make it a constructive negative comment or you've just wasted your time typing a retarded comment because i'll remove it :) Something a few people don't understand is what would of happened if this was left how it was (pking, trading etc). Basically when Jagex take your payments from credit cards it goes through a different company that processes these transactions called 'worldpay'. A lot of the bots memberships were paid with stolen credit cards, when a stolen credit card is used to pay, Jagex need to refund that money AND pay worldpay to perform a 'chargeback' (reversing the payment), so those of you who think the bots earn Jagex money are wrong, they cost them money. The stolen credit cards were likely being used so often that Worldpay has probably given Jagex a warning about it. If Jagex didn't do something about it, it could of lead to them being 'blacklisted' by Worldpay and/or certain banks meaning they would not be able to accept credit cards as payment anymore. Looking at a recent poll, not being able to accept credit card payments would have likely bankrupt Runescape or sevearly affected it much worse than the removal of pking/inbalanced trading etc. Which payment method do you generally use to subscribe? Credit card - 75% 75% of players who would need to switch their payment method, many of whome wouldn't be able to, so wouldn't be able to play on members anymore, some may not be able to afford the other payment methods, since most are more expensive. It would have a much more severe effect on the game than Jagex's updates, not to mention a lot of good came from these updates too, which quite a lot of people seem to be overlooking. It's kinda annoying seeing everyone complain about not being able to pk/trade etc. Most of them don't understand the reasons why, so i highly doubt many of them read the development diary. But they are almost all just complaining - Not helping, by thinking of ways it could be changed while still stopping real world trading. Jagex need suggestions not "omfg wtf!!!111 what did u do!! n00bz!11 ican't pk omg im gona quit everyone riot world 18!!1111" They WILL NOT change it back to how it was, they are only considering ways that will allow you to pk AND stop real world traders. The old wild obviously doesn't check both of those boxes, so it isn't coming back. Also these updates have put an end to or majorley reduced - Hacking, item scamming, luring, real world trading, begging. There may be more, but those are the ones i'm aware of atm. All these were massivly crippled in a single days updates.
