Agility "Glitch"

I'm going to go out on a limb here, I believe Jagex shouldn't be releasing content if it's full of bugs, and then punishing the players for abusing them - they should not be there in the first place - who's to blame? the bug testing department for their lack of thorough testing.

You can't blame the players for abusing something you release, whilst most people wont abuse it there are some that genuinely do feel strongly about what I just said ^ - if the bug wasn't released in the first place then it would not be open for people to take advantage of, it's jagex' responsibitily at the end of the day to test their updates before releasing it and then this happening and people get punished.

We pay for a subscription each month, not to do jagex job for them - we aren't paid for bug reporting but the bug testing department is, i'd even happily have jagex have an hour or two downtime each week for them to thoroughly test their products BEFORE releasing them to prevent these issues happening because it's just far too often.

I'm more concerned about the lack of removing bots than I am about a player abusing a bug, I wish Jagex would feel more strongly about the integrity of their game ie bots and rwt over people that use a bug.

I laugh everytime i see the lengthy list of shit things that were released into the game that jagex never picked up on before actually handing it out for us to use....

for instance, there is a graphical glitch (I'm aware a bug and a glitch are completely different) in pyramid plunder that has been there since the ibis clothing update, it still is not fixed to this day and I've reported it, it slows down thieving in that room by 2 secs, why on earth could they not have ONE person run through that pyramid to test it out before releasing it into the game is beyond me just like any other bug they release into the game - just HOW did they not notice it but regular players find them?

100% Agreed.

No game will come without bugs, to blame the Bug testing team is silly. There's always gonna be those few things that slip by anyone, to push out patches on time means everyone is rushed so things will be missed that are minor. Mainly bug testers are there to break the game, to push it to the limit and try to find the big game breaking bugs as their first priorities, minor bugs like XP being messed up isn't a frontal concern for the team.

But most of the time games don't ban you for bug abusing, unless they gave fair warning "we know about this and this is not legit GTFO" then you continue doing it I could see a ban. They'll probably just do rollbacks on the agility XP.

Why cant we blame the "Bug Testers" ? They have a role within Jagex to test there software and remove the bugs they find. I'm pretty sure people would wait a few extra hours in a day to have new patches bug-free and not have the thought of "I've found a bug...should I report or should I just abuse it?" Since everyone knows that 99.9% of RS Players wont report it and then a couple of weeks later several bans are issued out for "Bug Abuse" then people are moaning and whining because Jagex didnt fix it.

There's my opinion anyway.
