Old School RuneScape has announced plans to combat gold selling and duel arena scamming with a new anti-griefing system. The update will also introduce the ability to trade items for in-game currency, which is designed to make trading easier while also protecting players from hackers.
Old School RuneScape announced plans to combat gold selling and duel arena scamming. The company has removed the runescape duel arena which was a popular way for players to make money in-game.
Real-world gold trade and duel arena fraud have long been thorns in the side of Old School RuneScape, to the point that the game’s wiki even has a section dedicated to these and other issues. Of course, the Jagex developers are aware of these issues and have provided a current overview outlining intentions to address them.
Regarding goldselling, the developers now have tools that enable them to concentrate on gold buyers rather than sellers, with purchasers getting in-game notifications from the developers beginning today. The message says, “For everyone who has been engaged, we want to be clear — this is your one and only warning.”
Concerning the Duel Arena, the developers want to phase it out completely next year, replacing it with a mechanism that creates 1v1 tournaments for player groups. In the meanwhile, short-term steps are being implemented to make the activity more fair, such as a staking limitation that will restrict stake amounts to no more than 10m GP each duel and two new presets based on popular dueling settings. These modifications are expected to take effect in November.
“Thank you for being you,” the message concludes, “to the overwhelming majority of you who are playing the game as intended.” “We’re not going to stop searching for new methods to keep the game you love pure.”
