It took them nearly a week to patch it- something which was reported on the day of release and takes mere moments to fix I believe.
If nothing was done in the first half of a week when it's so easy to fix, you would expect to be able to assume it isn't a glitch.
How are players meant to know this isn't how you're meant to train a skill? Shortcuts have always given agility experience- much like pickpocketing has always given thieving experience but Pyramid Plunder and Blackjacking always offered better rates. Am I to assume I can't pickpocket knife fighters because the experience is too generous? If anything, they're more extreme as the rates are better than the "real" method. Am I going to get banned for training thieving in this way? I can only assume so now.
Problems like the repeated teleporting are obvious- giving phenomenal experience rates in a method inconsistent with other teleports but this isn't like that. It offers a "good" rate but not the best rate and it seems logical an easier method is there to provide lesser experience. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got my first few agility levels doing the same obstacles repeatedly.
Jagex told us we're allowed to abuse glitches to get better in the game- such as the ring of wealth glitch, DG runecrafting and the familiar glitches. I find it ridiculous they're considering to ban players for their own error after repeatedly giving us the all clear for glitch abuse.
I still fear the safety of my account after MANY times gone to train a skill and been "sitting there clicking and getting high XP"
