Runescape: Secondary Market Prohibited

The folks over at Runescape have sent out a reminder that trading real-world money for Runescape items or gold is strictly prohibited.
As the festive season quickly approaches, we would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that purchasing in-game items or RuneScape gold for real money is completely against the rules and strongly discouraged.
For the safety of players' accounts, it is very important that well-meaning parents who may think that this would be a nice Christmas present, are aware that any accounts involved run a very high risk of being banned. As such, please do not accept or give away any gift of this kind.
To help spread that Christmas joy, try to find a more suitable present; something that says 'Merry Christmas' in a way that no amount of gold pieces or rune armour could ever compare!
If you would like more information on Rule 12: Real World Tradinga,, please see the RuneScape Rules of Conduct.
We would also like to reassure players that we have a very safe way of detecting this (by tracking back to known real-world traders). We DONT just look for unbalanced trades! So there is no need to worry about being banned unfairly. We are extremely cautious to avoid that, and are aware people often lend each other items, etc...

with all the lazy gamers around these days and yes lots just read all the crybaby posts of how hard it is or why only some people get the good items. these are the lazy have nots crying
anyways if you let them buy their gear your game might actually have some life to it again
ok just to be fair I was haveing a bit of fun picking on the lazy gamers cause they cry so much but not all of them that buy their items are lazy and here is how I know,
one of my friends is a police officer and she buys items all the time because she works a lot of hours
the thing is its something thats in demand and people will find away; you companies can either make something good out of it or keep makeing futile rules and loseing out by letting IGE take control of your in game economy its that mythical comon sense
I personally have the time and use it to get my items as its just another goal for me so buying isnt my thing but what I choose to do doesnt change the reallity of the situation.
