In the present, Jagex has outlined strategies to deal with the issue RuneScape gold. In a recent blog post that is credited to "The RuneScape Team", the publisher states that "gold purchased through RWT is a problem in any online game featuring the possibility of trading currency" as well as that even though the "Anti-Cheating Team has done much to stop RWT sellers both inside both the games and outside" but it is taking more drastic measures with immediate beginning.

Citing a "growing team and better tools", Jagex says it will not be merely in the business of acquiring gold and sources through RWT but as buyers. Its goal is to cut down the demand as well as to limit the supply.

Jagex says it will start sending "messages to players that we've identified who are involved with the RWT" within "the coming hours". "For anyone involved, we want to make clear that this is your one all-encompassing warning" said the statement.

Other measures the developer might look at as punishments to punish RWT activity include wealth removal , which essentially getting rid of gains that are not legitimately earned from accounts at the server level. Also, possible bans.

RuneScape's PvP component, dubbed"the Duel Arena, will also have more strict rules enforced. Jagex says the feature "has been a cause for this toxic behaviour", and that 38 per cent in all suspensions for RWT action up to this point are due to this part that the player plays. It says that already amounts approximately "thousands of bans per month".

The developer seems to be taking the nuclear choice, saying "we're considering in the future to eliminate this Duel Arena out of RuneScape completely cheap OSRS gold." In the meantime it will be implementing "some quick-term steps" to clean up PvP "until our development teams can deliver an update major enough to completely substitutes for the Duel Arena next year."
