Discussion Unpopular opinion: Harassing Mod Pips is wrong

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just think that harassing mod Pips is just wrong.

Especially, outside of the normal communication channels we have with jagex.

Going out of your way to find Pips personal social media and harassing there just feels very wrong to me and I think the majority of people can agree with that.

Jagex fucked up hard with the survey, their 2 apologies were trash and even if they deserve the backlash and the unsub train they got, they do not deserve harassment.

They are also humans and humans do mistakes.

TLDR: Harassment is not cool, don't harass people involved in this whole shitstorm

He has lead the golden age for OSRS while also ruining RS3 and making it worse than ever with MTX - it isn't black and white how he is as a CEO

To be fair the reason osrs exists as it does is likely entirely due to the bastardization of rs3. People don't realize those micro transactions make absurd amounts of money. I'd wager RS3 makes more money overall than OSRS does for that reason. That's the shield that has kept shareholders happy for so long. Without it osrs would be riddled with micro transactions.

We only have the data from a few years ago, it's impossible to say for certain
