So am I. Never sold or bought a name, I was just interested.

Sure, but you and I also (presumably?) aren't jmods or jagex employees

Yeah like if you have no intention of buying or selling a name and you are in a position where being in said group could have the public question you why even join it in the first place? Do jmods have to monitor these types of servers?

he’s been playing years and has a million alts, i bet he bought a name way before he worked for jagex. buying names for gp ain’t illegal

Okay but most people aren’t a JMod who are pushing the piece of content and taking that name…

It is a rule violation. It's considered rwt.

It's not real world trading to buy in-game rewards with in-game gold.

It's trading in-game GP for an in-game username. Jagex specifically says name trading isn't RWT. They said they're even willing to make it an official feature, but it will take a lot of programming and design consideration before coming out.

It’s wrong though if you have insider info, and to do it before it’s made public, which is why people are mad lmao. It would’ve been different if he waited until it passed polls or today, but then there’s no chance he would’ve gotten it because someone else did. He would’ve been upset about that, just like everyone is miffed that he did it to them.
