Can you even play again afterward? Until we experienced a huge surge skillcapes were out a couple of months for all. I've given you plenty of links, even a direct quote from Andrew that mentions macroing burst in 2007. Anyway, happy my response could make you'lmfao' if you have given me such responses. Just how old are you? I was 15 at 2007 and OSRS gold I had 99s from 2008. Like, what do you have a spreadsheet you're compiling over the previous 15 years? Lmao.

Again connects skillcapes was mentioned by you to bots and world trading. Not one of the links addressing actual world trading mentions skillcapes. Hilarious and how your perception fails you still think you are right. They mention many thousand people were becoming banned for buying golden within a year of Skillcapes' launch. I was also 15 in 2007 (fellow'92er). Once botting's explosion was evident for everyone to see during 2007, could I keep a spreadsheet?

I don't have Jagex directly saying skillcapes caused botting, just that RS2 had been out for more than two years until Skillcapes came out and we didn't have uncontrolled botting. However within 6 months of Skillcapes being out F2P worlds were swamped with them and thousands were banned every week for buying gold. Your passive aggressive tone with every response whilst offering nothing is shit btw.

Poster. Correlation doesn't equal causation. There were heaps of other upgrades around those times also, and choosing one and saying"this caused botting" does not make it proof that it did. Bots increase based on ease of access to computing, knowledge that Runescape is one that may be botted for gain, and quantity of players generally. Botting will always increase as the playerbase or celebrity of Runescape increases, since there's more money to be produced. This increase was not alone caused by skillcapes.

I don't have a counterargument to your point. I just felt like saying that personally, while in theory your debate that Runescape will be better with buy RS gold them might be correct, I would be less interested in that match. Skillcapes and Max cape would be the reason I made my 1 and OSRS account and they are why I continue to play Runescape. Just a few thoughts.

EA does not care for people who aren't investors. Eliminating Kaepernick's name out of tunes in Madden 2 years in a row reveals it. Businesses do not need you to defend themlet their lawyers do that work. I am all for calling a spade a spade and being happy after I'm surprised by something like this. But we should not praise a business for reaching the absolute bare minimum. We ought to praise companies who reveal patterns of pleasure. Feel free to disagree, but don't behave like this specific case is this incredibly complicated morally-grey circumstance. I mean I thought there were pretty strict regulations whose titles and likeliness can be utilized in Madden. Just like Belicheck and Mut 21 coins Payton aren't in Madden since they are not a part of the NFLCA and that's who EA has a contract with. They may have to cover Kap if his title is used and therefore are likely avoiding that. That and Kap isn't exactly welcome in the NFL world (not speaking about fans) anymore.

They both backpeddled and apologized if they were called out. They don't have rights to Kap's likeness from the game but they could mention him in the tune (just as they have with plenty of other people characters in other songs). The fact that they did this two years in a row indicates it wasn't an innocent oversight but a genuine decision to collaborate using a essentially racist act of collusion within the NFL. I'm not defending a company. I am not saying EA is some bastion of social justice. Many people in general (not just reddit) can't see beyond black and white. Cynicism inspires outrage and outrage inspires more clicks. That's why negativity floats to the top in most social media. That is why negativity floats to the top in all social websites. This is a significant factor. Youtube for one has done research, since it's a massive portion of their company and they would like to know it. There's been testimony to congress about it that I've watched but can't find right now. What they need is engagement and the more negatively styled something is that the more people will click it as it comes up in your own recommendations.

Businesses don't want you to defend themlet their attorneys do that work. "Companies don't need one to defend them", but attacking businesses when they're doing the proper thing is necessary and productive?It doesn't matter whether it is for PR reasons, they're still increasing awareness for this issue and hurting no one by doing this process. Meanwhile the people who see this as an chance to attack are only perpetuating a negative feeling of constant complaining. It is not so much about"protecting businesses" but about attacking this naturally negativity. So you're really just adding to the man's argument by doing precisely what he explained. They're not doing anything though. They simply released a statement filled with empty rhetoric. You know what doing something is? Not making another Madden game since the NFL penalized players enjoy Kaepernick for taking a knee. That would be remarkable. But we all know that's not what's going to occur.

The fact that people here are really behaving like this can be a meaningful gesture is so fucking baffling. EA literally went out of its way to wash his name out of their matches two years straight, but this thread is making it look like they've contributed millions. It's pure fucking insanity. It is the definition of slacktivism. It'd be more fair i
