Interesting.  Could this be why members are asking why certain items have jumped in price?  There's suddenly more money in the economy?

It's so sad that Jagex could have fixed it when the issue came up on Osrs but didn't bother to fix it. It's completely ruined the rares market, at the current rate Santa hats will be max Gp within a week or so.

It will be interesting to see if Jagex remain silent on this

Santa hats have dropped 300m(?) today from like 1850 to 1550 (still overpriced), but it's hard to say how much you can even trust these price updates on the forums. Still no word about partyhat prices. There's a rumour that thousands of santa hats were duped (one picture showing a stack of 8600 santa hats, possibly fake).

It's crazy they didn't bother checking if the same issue existed in RS3 lol.

I wonder what their item tracking system is like. It would be quite trivial to check if discontinued items started entering the game. It seems they don't check that.

I suppose since the video has been released people are panic selling, it will certainly be interesting to see what happens from this. It feels like one of those significant RS moments in the games history, on par with the Falador massacre.

I wonder if the people who duped the items will hoard the new rares or slowly put them into the games economy

Bought it back for 1316m and sold for 1340m within minutes. This is a goldmine if anyone wants to flip atm.

This kind of thing is becoming such a common occurrence and Jagex continuing to do very little about it, is like when bad things happen in real life.  The people who can do something about it shrug it off and issue an apology.  But those of us it actually affects just have to accept this is how things are.  They're "unpreventable" which isn't wrong.  But a lot of things can be done to make sure it won't happen as often.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to hop in and clarify what happened over the weekend in question, and where we are now.We identified some worlds going down overnight between Friday and Saturday as the result of a sustained attack on said worlds; we took immediate action across multiple vectors within 24 hours in order to ensure that they didn't go down again, negating the possibility of the dupe.

We subsequently added in further preventative measures in the Monday game update of June 1st (hence why the update was later than usual) and we already have further protective steps sitting with QA for implementation in the future.

As a direct result of the investigation so far, we've removed billions of GP from the game, on top of the trillions already removed in the past year from other real-world trading offences - and further investigations are still taking place. We believe the long-term impact to the economy is minimal, but will examine that further.

We will be looking to better align security processes across our titles to ensure continuity, and would like to apologise to anyone who was impacted over the weekend with the server outages.

Finally, let's talk about communication. We totally understand where you're coming from on this. When it comes to security issues that do not directly impact player account security, it's our policy to not provide a stage for such actions at any time. We don't want to exacerbate an issue by putting a spotlight on it, nor do we want to entice attention-seeking activities for notoriety. The tough part about this is approach is the net result to the rest of you in terms of what we say. Frankly, it's a very fine line to walk - we may not quite be right in the ideal middle yet, and we'll think about it more following this, for sure.
