Charlotte Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 In before a swedish gold farm gets sued after the main post. 1
Bobrocket Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Jagex did sue one company that developed a botting client many years ago (and won). That was the only case. Ever since then, the law was unfortunately not on their side that's why they couldn't do the same with other botting clients. As for goldfarmers, that never happened and will never happen because there is no legal frame for a law suit on this case. Wrong. Each and every one of us botters could be sued for breach of contract. Source: http://www.jagex.com/terms/terms.ws#rules Botting is a rule, therefore it is incorporated into a part of their terms. Breaking any rule is technically breach of contract. Whether or not they will sue is different to whether or not they can sue. tl;dr: Jagex CAN sue each and any one of us, but they won't. Not only will they be losing money from court proceedings, but they also can't sue a specific amount due to how much you've traded since that would be acknowledging there is a market for gold (only really applies to RWT there)

Expenses have never been an issue because companies for such cases do collective law suits. The real problem is bringing this case into a court and actually proving the defendant botted in an online game when your methods of proving users bot are actually top secret.
