I could not find the right forum for it so posting it here. This is not a correction, this is pure deletion.

The Drop potential guide mentions the 76k Trick, which is against the spirit of the game and Jagex does not allow it. They could not ban either cuz its their 'fault'. Quite a few of people have made 76k trick guides on runescape forums, and have got the Topics locked and content hidden. If you do not believe me go post this on rs forum guide section and it will get locked/hidden content. Thus, I ask for this part to be removed.

I can talk about about problems w 76k trick but thats not what the topic is about. Its about something that has been posted which Jagex does not allow.

If you are either a poor player killer or not a player killer at all, you can kill a friend. You need to be risking 76,000 coins at any one time when you are killing the player, and the person you are killing needs to be risking 26,000 coins (the amount of money the person you are killing needs is 26,000 coins on both F2P and P2P). It is hard to tell how much a person is carrying if you are not killing your friend, so your drop potential will not be used up if the person you are killing does not have 26k.

The method of killing a friend is known as the '76k trick'. Once you have killed either a person or a friend, it is recommended to run into a safe area and use the telegrab spell to retrieve the items. A popular place to kill people is the Grand Exchange, as drops can be easily retrieved with telegrab. You should find you get a much better kill than usual. It is only good manners to then switch around and let your friend kill you. A common way of killing/dying is 2-2-1-1. One person kills another person twice, then they switch around for two goes, then they switch around for one more go each.
Loot from a PvP kill (Corrupt Dragon Scimitar)

The above player has killed his friend using the 76k trick. His friend didn't have any items in his inventory except 26,000 coins. If he had not had any drop potential, he would've gained a very poor drop. Instead, he gained a Corrupt Dragon Scimitar, worth 2.2m.

Jagex does allow the 76k trick, however they don't like players doing it. It doesn't break any rules.

This isn't bending any rule because no such rule exists. Jagex has admitted that this technique isn't how it was intended to be used. Some have said they frown upon it while other Jagex mods have said it's an interesting technique. It has been established that it is within the rules and players won't be punished for doing it. What other fansites do does not reflect any actions needing to take place here.

Runescape forums are made by Jagex and monitored by Jagex. Its not a fansite.

Jagex can choose to moderate their forums however they like. The section in question should remain within the guide because Jagex has said multiple times that the 76k trick is within the rules and those players won't be punished. This forum loosely follows the Jagex rules, but there is no issue with these threads on Sal's because such a rule does not exist and the staff here allow them. You're not getting anywhere, redhairgoku.

I don't condone it in any way at all. In the guide I wanted to make it seem like a last resort.
Oh and btw, that guide had to go through two PvP updates. It's now seriously outdated. It hardly works like that any more.

As far as I know, Jagex have no legislation over us. I know they browse these forums, but we are two completely different sites. It's like Jagex marching over to the WoW site and pulling out a bannhammer on them.

Its allowed in runescape there is no certain rule that sayes your not allowed to do 76k/26k tricks.

The only scenario I can foresee that would require this to be taken off the site is if Jagex took us off their accepted fansites list and/or refused to give us special treatment given to those on the above-mentioned list. Then, Sal would probably take this down. As it is, however, it's not causing any trouble so why fix what ain't broke? This site is supposed to be a comprehensive guide to all things RuneScape, so this is well within the boundaries.
