    Too my knowledge, I thought GF was just hording GP to sell later? Or Items to sell for GP to sell off for IRL money?
    Is that much too different then people selling their accounts or their rares?

    I actually don't see it affecting the in game economy that much

    Idk though, maybe times change? Haven't played in a couple months.

    I always thought goldfarming meant swapping real life money with Video game currency.
    So in essence if that does happen and it isn't sponsored by the designers of the game or monitored by an authority it could lead to a lot of bad things, i.e sweat-shops, violence between people and possibly murder (it has happened in the past, and will happen again), credit fraud and more evil deeds..

    Am totally against it, weather its Sponsored and monetized by the game company or run as an underground blackmarket by secret communities.

    personally i bought membership with RSgp in the past, when i was younger, the first time i got membership i did it with PaybyCash, then i bought it with RSGP for a while, and after i got scammed i just took my moms credit card and used it till i got old enough to get my own credit card and never needed to depend on anyone anymore.

    So am pretty much against it even though i did it.

    I don't mind farming gold for personal use or just have one account on farm to sell it.
    However i do have problems with greedy people that ruin the game for everyone by running 10+ bots 24/7

    I'd say Gold Farming is a sensitive subject for all of us here...some of us are here to farm gold whilst some of us are probably here to only advance our main character, I personally do both!

    Banning Gold farming IMO is just another way for the man to keep us down!

    Ok on a serious note, Gold Farming ruins the economy of the game and ruins the game for people who are trying to play. Yes it helps us by shielding us from Jagex but really at what cost. I mean when i was trying to level up my character using my script, there were so many bots that it was ridiculous. I mean of course I made my script super fast and not human like but at the same time its a pain in the ass to deal with so many bots at the same time.

    imagine what would ore and log prices be if there were no GFs. For a legit player it's pointless to mine rune essence or coal.

    Gold farming for personal use is ok.
    Gold farming to make a little money, sure I guess maybe ok.
    Gold farming to make loads of money.... lameeeeee.

    Goldfarming is kinda what has killed runescape... aside from Jagex's terrible updates, anyways. Mostly due to updates.

    Sadly I completely agree with you! Those updates get worse and worse over time! Its like they are running out of ideas so they start making bad decisions.

    I do agree with this.
    Gold farmers uses a lot of bots and it ruins the gold economy. Like for example in EOC.
    And now try to observe in RS07, when recently the gold prices are beginning to get low.

    Yeah, gold farming is bad. Leads to other bad things like thieving(scamming) IRL cash.

    At what point does, using parts of other peoples scripts, become not leeching?

    I have invested many hours into a personal woodcutting script, at first I completely used another person's script. "Definition of leeching" I then started editing their script more and more with bits and pieces of other peoples scripts. So midway through I had this bastard of a script that was getting very messy, buggy and hard to work with. I then went through many phases completely re-writing the script from scratch, using the previous script as an outline. After a good couple weeks working with this script, I feel I can comfortably say it's all mine, or I have the supporting knowledge to write what they have already written. I now also have the knowledge to write other basic scripts dew to my efforts, and spot useful parts of other scripts that would help mine. Exmp. The declare players function, someone had to come up with that, but everyone uses it in their script. There is many ways to make a proggy function, but there are some basic ones that most people use/borrow and edit from others.

    Sorry for being a bit off topic,
    Thank you for your replies!

    Indeed it would lead to scamming but whats the point of them farming gold if they will just scam?
    I believe that, the people who bought gold to a gold farmer will be risky due to most of them are using bot. And in terms of buying gold using IRL cash/real money, I would prefer to use a safe exchange platform like Playerauctions to avoid those. So basically scam in buying gold can be easily avoid.

    I think the botting is bad, though I'm (obviousy) still doing it.

    Goldfarming is nothing worse imo

    I don't think this is leeching. If you update the script and change it drastically, I think it's okay.

    So you are saying that you are only using bot to level up your character?
    based on experience you will get the urge of getting back your subscription fee using bot.

    That's not at all what I said lol, how are you drawing up that conclusion?

    I said that, imo all botting is bad and goldfarming isn't worse.
    So I'm saying, If I'm botting up my characters levels, I am definitely going to jump into goldfarming too.

    I don't mind botting on skills where there is little to no competition (woodcutting Ivy, mining LRC, ect) but when bots come and ruin a place like green dragons, blue dragons, black dragons, ect and I can't kill them for a slayer task, then I don't approve.

    It should be fine if you only use it for yourself.

    I hate gold farmers, and the people who do it.

    I'm a gold hoarder. I probably have several hundred mil on my account, but I use it to further my character....Ok, that's a lie. I haven't been on in forever. I am just using it to take up data space on JageX's servers at this point.

    The data space you use doesn't increase if you have more gold :P
