People were still dying from the potential

People were still dying from the potential, being able to lose "300k" per death and making money. Fortunately Jagex did RS gold discover about it (Yes they're very very very very very very slow at finding some bugs). And then closely following easter when the banhammer came out. The banhammer* warned them that they could be banned, and were given until Tuesday.

Clans that were abusing the rules were immediately alerted (The smart ones did this on newb* account for amusement) A riot was started by X__icy_x (Forgot to name him and he was banned), and then files upon files of idiots, who walked around Runescape carrying their cheat-money. They decided to take rares along with them. If your rare is taken out, you might want it to OSRS buy gold be sold now.
