    Default ~270k players quit/banned/cancelled membership

    I was checking a friend on www.runetracker.org
    She has fairly low skills, so I was checking out of curiosity.
    She hasn't trained a single skill this week, but she gained TONS of ranks..
    Only possibilities I see this is a mixture of the following 3:
    bots being banned
    players have quit
    people have cancelled membership

    270k seems like a big number... I would wait a bit, school is on right now and Thanksgiving break was over a little while ago, it may just be low activity.

    I put 270k because thats the number of ranks my friend went up in attack.
    Thats 270,000 players that were removed from the highscores for those 3 reasons.

    I dont think thanksgiving or school has anything to do with that money players being removed from the hs.

    What level of attack?

    Isn't it possible a lot of trial accounts got off the charts too?
    The only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position.

    You can contact me via matrix protocol: @grats:grats.win or you can email me at the same domain, any user/email address.

    I thought that F2P players are included on the hi-scores now? Or do they have a separate table?

    Got ranked up 10k+ in all my stats, even the ones that I didn't get exp on. Jagex must be doing something wrong, or banning people.

    Maybe people are quiting because we would've heard about these mass bans.

    It could also be goldfarming accounts that have cancelled membership since the owners have lost interest in the game/farming.
