Anyway, I doubt very much that anyone who gets caught buying unsanctioned gold gets away with it, as it's just as much a violation of the rules as selling gold. The real issue is whether anyone ever gets caught, but finding a seller should lead to numerous buyers so this news is a step in the right direction on both fronts.
They don't really explain here what happens to the buyers. Personally, if they think that a lighter punishment will get the job done for a first time offender, then that doens't bother me. The kingpins have been permanently banned, but I don't think they'll stop unless Jagex takes it a step further by bringing legal action against these people.
yes I agree with you although the people selling the gold/running the gambling and stuff cant really get caught on some cases. Because free trade is in anyone can go to duel arena put up 1m and the seller put up 500m and the person could "win" the duel and its untraceable to jagex unless jagex where to minimize dueling difference like make ppl put up 100m to win 100m and such then the buyers would be more nervous to do that type of a transfer and would resort to free transfer which would be easyer traceable.
