Not just the fact stella is using mod doggy, but also the fact that shes created a system that enables her to make in game currency, and sell off that ingame currency for real world money. And she uses mod doggy to get rid of the competition.
This is seriously like the age old tale of a female joining a male nerd group, dating the one with the most authority (like a mod or guild master) then creating drama and chaos with impunity that ends up destroying the thing they worked hard to create.
gotta love how it cant just be "this person is an asshole", you have to take to to far to " and this is why women ruin everything'. Leave the misogyny at home dude, its not that deep. To all the weirdos replying to this, you can critisize someone without using them as a reason to hate the entire gender they belong to, thats a thing you can do. Not everything has to be some grand conspiracy against you, sometimes people are just assholes, regardless of gender. Especially when in this case, both a man and woman were involved, so why go out of your way to specifically hate only on the woman?

The very short tl:dr for anyone wondering is that mod Jed developed content in the game and exploits specifically for an in game clan to farm gold to RWT and also gave them access to people's IP addresses and personal info to hack accounts /DDoS people and stole the equivalent of at minimum $100,000.
@@SquaulDuNeant There's a few videos on it but none seem to fully sum up the whole situation in a concise manner. One example of a thing he did was made drops in a PvP zone from mobs twice as good if you were skulled(PvP flag that risks your items on death) and not even the other developers knew this mechanic existed just some players in the clan he was in. The funniest part is that Jagex fucked up the investigation so he sued Jagex when they fired him and he actually never got legally punished for all the stuff he did and walked away. According to courts the value of just the accounts he hacked was 217k euros, nevermind all the gold he enabled his clan to farm through exploits/DDosing.
As someone who's active in the osrs community its pretty disgusting to see how far Mod Doggy(Trident) has gone for some random OF girl who has repeatedly used her position and gender to get what she wants. Also she hasn't payed any taxes on all of her BTC RWTs'
She's done for now. I know of a bunch of people who tipped the IRS off about her interesting bitcoin transactions over the last 2-3 years lol. If she's not booked before christmas I'd be surprised xD
As a moderator with power to ban player and being in a close relationship with a player that has filed a complaint with another player, the moderator should disqualify themselves from handling the case. If placed in a situation like this the moderator should ask a co-worker employed in the same role handle the matter.
I'll explain why it's a problem. Imagine a huge multi billion dollar company where two people do the same thing and are treated very differently. Imagine a user donates a pornographic image and a both people unknowingly look at it showing it on stream. One person gets banned for 30 days, the other person does not get banned. How would you feel about such a company? This is why it's a problem.
Friends of mine in ESO have been permabanned for teabagging, and another for throwing mudballs at roleplayers. I myself have been permabanned (was later overturned) for interrupting roleplayers. MMO mods have no chill.
So cool that you helped to bring this corruption to light bro! Makes me happy that this is spreading, and more people will see. Ive played osrs forever and this corruption is a huge breach of trust in integrity of the jagex staff.
This is why I love watching Asmon's take on these types of events. No BS, completely impartial so there's no special treatment, he always gets straight to the point.
Wdym ‘no bs’ did you watch the vid yesterday? He watched 30 mins of video in like 1hr30 and spent 1 hour making bad takes every time he stopped to react, to then proceed and realise he just talked shite for 5 mins. Sometimes it’s better to put a foot in your mouth til you know what you’re talking about 😂
@@CERWINVEGAredRINGwell i mean the structure of oda's video was poorly put together... If it was structured better. Asmons video wouldn't of been that way.
@@CERWINVEGAredRING ngl you're not wrong at all lol. However it made me realize how much context that we already have due to in-game experience. With that being said though, the beginning part was absolute pain
@@CERWINVEGAredRING You miss the point entirely, and clearly didn't listen to his explanations. Asmon explains his take on events AS they unfold, and as new information is presented, his position on the topic changes, much like any rational human being. Hes streaming. He has to pause often to interact with his viewers and to ensure he is adding something to the content he is poaching. The reason Asmon was making "bad takes" while the video was unfolding was because Oda's structure was ALL OVER THE PLACE. Not Asmons fault that he reacted rationally to the information Odablock was providing, in the order Odablock decided to provide it. Asmon keeps almost always keeps it real, that's why we all watch him. He's not trying to get sponsors or deals, he could easily spout off publicly acceptable corporate style takes much like Ludwig or Moist, but no, he keeps it real and doesn't care if he looks or sounds like an idiot while doing so.
Ok, so what do you all think, how high are the chances that this Trident guy and the streamer girl will still be together after he loses his job at the company?
I wish Asmondgold could cover all the ARK drama happening that has been on almost every gaming news outlet in the last week. But theres to much gaming news happening to keep up with it all.
Like you say, the mod doesn't even need to be actually corrupt, the question of impropriety itself existing is a terminable offense. As soon as she started talking about her personal relationship with a mod as if she could get people banned, it was already a huge deal
Funny thing is that this isn't even the worst thing a jagex mod has done haha. Mod Jed spawned billions of gold and was even RMTing some of it, absolute mad lad
Don't forget working with people in RoT to hack thousands of accounts to stealing billions if not over a trillion in gp, so hard in fact that jagex actually gave the effected accounts their gold back in platinum tokens, the first time in runescapes entire history where they have given players their hacked goods back.
@@lustwaffle that doesn't directly create gold except through memberships resulting from bonds that wouldn't have been bought, otherwise it's just an adjacent form of currency
Funny thing is Jagex has been through this all before and in the last case they fired the mod without giving a good enough reason even though the mod stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. Because they fired him so fast they had to go back and pay the thieving mod like a years worth of wages. I'm sure this case will take a long time to resolve to avoid something like that from happening again.
@@3Dyler it was one of those if they wanted to prove he stole that much money worth of gold they would have to assign an actual cash value to their in game currency and that opens up a whole bigger can of worms lol
funny how u assume they would waste extra time on another issue. those people are burried very deeply and nobody would notice them. even if they asked for help the community would just call them liars
@@haytamhaytam7227 a year back the multilogging community was able to resolve over 30 false ban cases with the help of Mod Trident sadly, which we now seem to be losing
Just for clarity, it’s not just that Stella didn’t like Odablock, it’s that Stella and Odablock are both streamers and do the same content on there platform. So Stella was eliminating her competition in the streaming space cause she is in a relationship with Mod Trident.
@@robertseptim3579 excuse me my mistake. I just saw that she also streamed and streamed content that Oda does or is well known for. My apologies and thank you for correcting me and reiterating the facts. Much love!
He should do a deep dive on Mod Jed also, another corrupt mod that Jagex was refusing to investigate. His corruption was so much worse. They’re just recovering from the scandal with him.
Stella and trident both need to deal with legal action but mostly trident. Also he needs to be fired and shouldn't have power at all. This is such a bad look on jagex
@Grind Knight hey man, i'm just picking up on a game engine, self learning. I can't even begin to imagine the [legal] requirements of merely allowing communications in a game, let alone putting out a single player game. Legal disclaimers and terms of service agreements, age ratings, etc.
A lot of people on the outside are laughing at the situation saying its just silly video games but for those of us who spend a majority of our free time gaming this situation is infuriating and incredibly unjust. Gaming is a hobby that cost both time and money so our public faces like Asmon or Charlie are doing the right thing by shining a light on these type of things. Way to go.
@@jaggerjackize yeh jagex is plagued by bots and rwt that help maintain the pop. But when you have a popular streamer rwting without any repercussions it reflects much worse. They’ve been trying to stop botting and rwting for years with tons of different updates, letting a streamer get away with it is basically letting people know it’s ok to do it
Knowing Stella owes over 100 billion gold pieces in debt to other players and treats men like piggy banks where she never puts anything back, if Jagex decides to pursue legal action do you think there is even a chance she will help him with legal costs especially because she has made hundreds of thousands of dollars off him abusing his position? No chance.
They had this issue with Mod Jed. They jumped the gun and ended up having to pay him for wrongful termination even though he was hacking player accounts. Them making the bans temporary is just "this is how we unban you without saying we are unbanning you"
Well, the big problem with the jed thing is, they would've basically had to admit, the RS Gold, had a real life monetary value. Thus truly fking them since, the duel arena is basically... gambling... so it was easier to just pay jed a grand or whatever,
They should take legal action against him regardless of everything just the act of banning is eating into jagex wallet with subscriptions not being bought
the fact that he's head of anti-cheat at jagex coupled with the fact that oldschool runescape is full of bots means hes definitely getting paid by gold farmers to look the other way.
In fairness they did immediately terminate Mod Ian (their longest serving employee) the moment he was arrested for molesting a minor without hesitation so on other things they are far and away ahead of the ball. I'm thinking the OSRS department and RS3 department have different track records and RS3 are more quick on their feet with things.
one verrrry important thing to keep in mind about the ~confirming independent checks and found them to be correct~ statement is that jagex is intentionally admitting no wrongdoing on their part through a public forum. They say it in the most flexible means possible in order to avoid any class action lawsuits regarding any deprivation of product.
Just a couple additions to what you said. Mod trident just got promoted to jagex head of anti cheating 3 weeks ago. As well odablock is the biggest osrs streamer across all platforms. He created a cc to compete with stellas because she got every other cc took down. She is a known scammer and rwter. She has scammed equivalent of $60k usd from her followers
This situation reminds me so much of when Lono got banned from Destiny 2 because he "creeped out" a fellow D2 streamer who happened to be dating a Bungie employee.
Abusing the fact you're in a relationship with someone as a means of gains is downright the least gamer thing to do. Whether it be to gain an upper hand or antagonize/threaten others, it's absolutely despicable for a person to do. Also, imagine breaking company policy to give your "girlfriend" an unfair advantage in the game. He should be outright fired. I wonder if she threatened him with no bedroom activity.
I don't know the situation in detail. However, i work in a country with strong workers protection. If a worker is doing illegal, company damaging actions etc, an immediate cancellation is possible. If the situation is not harsh enough to go this way legally, but the company wants to get rid of the person now, companies often decide to cancel on contracted period and immediately send the person on paid vacation for the rest of time, probably together with house ban. If you want / need to get a worker out of the company now, you can do so legally.
Thanks for covering this stuff. Despite the relative 'insignificance' of Runescape in the grand scheme of things, it's well worth covering this level of corruption.
it makes me sad to say this as a runescape player of over 15 years, i think jagex will do everything they can to sweep this under the rug and pretend like everything is fine, as this is FAR from the first time they have had corrupt mods abusing their powers, there has been scammers getting bots that warn about scammers banned, while being a known scammer to everyone there and bot farms getting other bot farms banned by paying mods. i sadly think they wont do anything in the end, best case maybe fire him for good public opinion, but that would be it
Justice doesn't translate to capital, it's better to make a statement saying how committed you are to change and then use that opportunity to make changes within the company for personal reasons whilst the next big scandal takes away your heat.
I don't think Asmon realizes how rampant stuff like this is in runescape. MULTIPLE youtubers and people have tried to bring awareness to the stella issue for at least 6 months of my knowledge, I honestly only think they take action now because Asmon and maybe oda speaks up about it a lot and riots happening in fally. Jagex tries to sweep issues like this under the rug. The same thing with all the other corrupt jmods, this isn't the first time at all. Jagex has a serious issue So many bots, lurers and misc too as oda said some of them are in top 10pvm kills for some monsters and they're still not banned. The worst thing is, jagex has next to 0 customer support. They have an email they don't respond to and twitter where you cannot post confidential stuff so they "can't help you" since its a public page. You have to make this much drama before they take action otherwise like as in the history of osrs they have just try to sweep it under the rug and hope people forget and that it doesn't blow out of propertion like it is now. Another example of not being able to communicate was with the 117 HD plugin they just randomly wanted to take down after a year of work from the dude and the community wanted it, everyone had to go to steam when it was newly released and leave bad reviews.. not to be heard, but to not be ignored.
Asmon I 100% think that you posting about and supporting oda had a huge role in this, the fact that the drama is being brought up from a huge influencer such as yourself that's main focus isn't in osrs really did help push jagex to see that things got seriously messed up.
I remember reporting someone multiple times for clearly botting agility in the Fresh Start Worlds for RS3 and nothing happened and he ranked like top 5 and probably made a lot of gold off of the rewards for hitting 120 and placing in the top 100 of the skill. He never got banned. I accidentally cut him off on an obstacle only 1 person can use at a time and then his character started running around to random places, then down a ladder where he was stuck for the next 1-2 hours running circles in the pit because he couldn’t get out because his bot didn’t know it needed to click on a ladder. I’m still pretty salty about that because I was playing legit but missed the top 100 because I’m sure there were a lot of bots in the top 100. I wish I had the amount of pull that girl does! 😂
Funny thing is, Jagex could have just completed their investigation and quietly fired Trident, let him learn from it and move on to find gainful employment elsewhere. But Stella kept gloating, kept making her orders to Trident public, and generally couldn't keep her mouth shut about their little operation. Of course it was going to blow up online when you're rubbing it in everyone's faces. So now, Trident's entire career in the gaming industry is over. No one will hire him into any kind of GM position after this very public abuse of power, he's too much of a risk.
if the chicks CC behavior changes drasticly, that alone would be massive evidence that somethings been going on, since no doubt Trident is about to stop doing any nonsense he might have been up to.
13:35 basically summarized Top G's message to men dating women. Some might say that would mean the man is controlling or in some twisted manner has low confidence or self esteem, but us in the real world know that relationships have Terms of Service, they are not written, they are kind of expected.
I don’t think a huge company suing an employee is necessary. I think just firing him and making a public statement that they will be examining his bans and opening the door to appeals as well as examining their ban and appeal process going forward and creating stricter guidelines for their account penalties is enough to merit goodwill from the community. Just blacklist this dude from game dev.
jagex may wanna think about folks like myself who have been seriously considering returning to the game but then i see this (which happens in every game) its just one more thing that is in the cons column of whether i should return. when i think if playing runescape i put some level of merit in the faith that im playing on a game ran by a very legit company that will take this sort of behavior SERIOUSLY, caps intended. what i mean is if im pirating a version of a game i know i have to accept that this stuff will be almost normal and a slap on the wrist is the most i could expect. BTW asmon my step daughter had a friendship with a guy who became a blizzard mod and i know first hand that he did all kinds of stuff for her. it was kind of cool cause we all played together but i was also in the back of my head like this is kinda F'd up...
Calling it now, she’ll release an apology video saying the mod threatened her into doing this with a ban and forced the relationship or something like that
One of the issues I take with jagex statement is first they say we looked into the 100 bans we did and found we were right....then immediately turn around and say well we also will make them temporary fishy af. I understand why asmon takes the position he does on the issue and I respect his viewpoint but I personally think it speaks to a far larger issue inside of jagex, I think they all.knew exactly what was happening and I'd be willing to make an accusation that they just didn't care because they were still making bank.
Jagex doesn't want to perm ban or even heavily ban people. they like money more then game integrity. there are MANY storys of people bug abusing and making BILLS and getting 1 to 2 week temp bans.
what make things even funnier is Stella is guilty of so much more bad shit ontop of the abuse of power from the Simp mod she's apparently "dating" yet still not banned herself. lol here's hoping Jagex isn't dumb again since they admitted to investigating before and ultimately did nothing.
So, something which I don't think was really addressed but is VERY pertinent: For all the people thinking that Trident should be immediately fired, that would be a horribly stupid move for the OSRS team. It was only a couple years ago that the most corrupt piece of shit to stain OSRS (Jed) was awarded something like 20,000 pounds because of an improper firing. The ruling, as I understand it, was that because much of the hard evidence for Jed's firing was collected post his leaving (even though they knew he had done it, they just hadn't physically collected the evidence), he was able to win his lawsuit. I absolutely DO think Trident should be put on leave in the meantime, but in no way should they just fire him off rip.
If there is a charge for misusing his position and authority absplutely. But i don't think theyl win a argument about affecting the integrity of bans as the bans he did were confirmed to be deserved, the issue was that it was done at the request of soneone, rather than because it was deserved, untill oda affected stellas income, trident didnt gaf about oda's cheating.
That being said, stella had to do it on a stage, she was trying to funnel people into her cc/discord out of fear of her getting them banned if they use another cc. For that to work she had to establish a public connection to someone in the anti cheat team. But at the same time she over played that connection and pushed it out there to the point corruption was obvious, ideally she should have said it once with a example with someone unknown within the community and then jept her mouth shut, let it just spread within the community silently rather than coming from her and keep a low profile while doing said corruption.
Senior Anti Cheating Specialist btw. Let that sink in. There has been a history of corrupt moderators. Mod Jed was in the largest clan in OSRS giving them insider info. Like the location of the final fight during the $10,000 Deadman Mode tournament, allowing the clan to set up there and secure the win. But beyond that, he hacked hundreds of accounts and stole HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS worth of in-game currency from players. Then there was Mod Reach, who intentionally wrote a bug into the games code that would allow players to perform a specific sequence of actions that would enable invincibility on their account. Him and his friends used this invincibility bug to camp the boss with the most potential for profit at the time, Corporeal Beast. The true extent of the bug abuse is truly unknown, but based on information gathered it's estimated that over a couple month span, they were able to farm roughly $200,000 worth of OSRS GP. Shortly before Jagex launched their internal investigation into this matter and Mod Reach, he has begun showing up to work in a brand new Audi... which his co-workers found a bit odd considering they made the same amount he did. Last that I can think of is Mod Jacmob. I don't know how involved he was with OSRS, not sure of his timeline at Jagex. However, I do know that he was originally the owner and creator of the largest botscript website around at the time. He was public enemy #1 for Jagex. They would implement new anti-cheating measures, and he would immediately find creative ways to circumvent them. They eventually had enough of the rat chase and decided to offer him a job. He became the head of the anti cheat department. His story is more interesting than the allegations, because he essentially just let his friends get away with botting. This was just a widely known thing, but never became a topic of discussion with Jagex. At least publicly. Anyone who has played the game for a while know's exactly how bad of a track record Jagex has. Not just with corruption, either. Also with just general decision making. It seems like it's every 2 months they massively drop the ball or make a horrible choice that impacts the community and players riot.
I did this Jagex: instant banned without further investigation. Mod Trident and his gf scamming everyone and bragging about it Jagex: we will do a internal investigation
Just food for thought on this whole thing, my friend was ranked in a dicing clan and was allowed to host games and was allowed to take a certain % of every stake with about half going to his clan. He wasn't the leader he was just ranked and could host and he made so much money selling gold. Thousands a month. So imagine what the leader makes, and if you think they don't RWT you're so stupid, they are generating billions a day
Stella is probably also under investigation for RWT and account servicing. I imagine that is the 'outside' information they mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if that is tied into this statement.
Didn't Blizzard actually do something similar though? I remember a stink about a streamer getting someone banned for dispelling his world buffs. Not the same exact situation sure, but I don't think anyone else was getting banned
The top must've been wild for trident to go ahead an ban someone with near 200k subs. Like he really didn't go through a mental check on that shit? Wild
A few years ago, my e-mail has been hacked on a data breach, I used to play runescape a lot. One day I tried to log on runescape, and I was "temporarily" banned for breaking the rules, turns out it was a 41000 days ban. I never played runescape again, thank you indonesian hacker.
this is a basic example if you just shut your mouth and not tell everyone what you are doing, you can do it without a problem. what was she even thinking telling everyone he was her input, just wow.
It's not abuse of power though. It's cooperation between a mod and a player. She knows people who are probably breaking the TOS and asks a mod to investigate it. Think about it logically. Mods can't investigate every single player. That's just physically impossible. So they have to rely on reports from players to choose who they get to investigate. And it just so happens that Stella is dealing with a lot of shady players every day, so she can aid mods in their work. But anyway, they're probably going to try and punish that mod. Not because he did something wrong, but because it will cause them millions if they keep him at the company.
I hope Asmon watches a video on Mod Jed situation, it would be so funny to see him realize how corrupt Jagex has been in the past.. it was worse than this situation.
Jagex isn't going to do anything. Most likely they will say: "We have finished investigating, and have concluded that nothing of dubious nature has happened within our teams."
In the UK you cannot pursue legal action against employees unless they did something knowingly illegal that also damaged your brand name significantly (key word here). The actions this guy did was not illegal.
It's wild that they thought Oda wouldn't fight back with full force. It's similar to banning Asmon from WoW. Oda is possibly the biggest PVP streamer in the game and literally just won a Golden Gnome (akin to winning an award at Blizzcon).
They have to be careful because the last time Jagex dealt with internal issues like this was with mod Jed and he sued them after the fact and actually won.
Thanks Asmon for bringing this to a more mainstream audience, this is not the first time the mod team and the community has had to deal with corruption like this.
It's Jagex, this is basically monthly.

One example of a thing he did was made drops in a PvP zone from mobs twice as good if you were skulled(PvP flag that risks your items on death) and not even the other developers knew this mechanic existed just some players in the clan he was in. The funniest part is that Jagex fucked up the investigation so he sued Jagex when they fired him and he actually never got legally punished for all the stuff he did and walked away. According to courts the value of just the accounts he hacked was 217k euros, nevermind all the gold he enabled his clan to farm through exploits/DDosing.
Free my boy oda
As someone who's active in the osrs community its pretty disgusting to see how far Mod Doggy(Trident) has gone for some random OF girl who has repeatedly used her position and gender to get what she wants. Also she hasn't payed any taxes on all of her BTC RWTs'

As a moderator with power to ban player and being in a close relationship with a player that has filed a complaint with another player, the moderator should disqualify themselves from handling the case. If placed in a situation like this the moderator should ask a co-worker employed in the same role handle the matter.
Your humility with the: "oh oh God, oh God Asmonds talking about it... we gotta make a statement" gave me a good laugh. ❤
I'll explain why it's a problem. Imagine a huge multi billion dollar company where two people do the same thing and are treated very differently. Imagine a user donates a pornographic image and a both people unknowingly look at it showing it on stream. One person gets banned for 30 days, the other person does not get banned. How would you feel about such a company?
This is why it's a problem.
You're just describing every day twitch
Friends of mine in ESO have been permabanned for teabagging, and another for throwing mudballs at roleplayers. I myself have been permabanned (was later overturned) for interrupting roleplayers. MMO mods have no chill.
So cool that you helped to bring this corruption to light bro! Makes me happy that this is spreading, and more people will see. Ive played osrs forever and this corruption is a huge breach of trust in integrity of the jagex staff.
This is why I love watching Asmon's take on these types of events. No BS, completely impartial so there's no special treatment, he always gets straight to the point.
Wdym ‘no bs’ did you watch the vid yesterday? He watched 30 mins of video in like 1hr30 and spent 1 hour making bad takes every time he stopped to react, to then proceed and realise he just talked shite for 5 mins. Sometimes it’s better to put a foot in your mouth til you know what you’re talking about 😂
@@CERWINVEGAredRINGwell i mean the structure of oda's video was poorly put together... If it was structured better. Asmons video wouldn't of been that way.
@@CERWINVEGAredRING ngl you're not wrong at all lol. However it made me realize how much context that we already have due to in-game experience. With that being said though, the beginning part was absolute pain
@@CERWINVEGAredRING You miss the point entirely, and clearly didn't listen to his explanations.
Asmon explains his take on events AS they unfold, and as new information is presented, his position on the topic changes, much like any rational human being.
Hes streaming. He has to pause often to interact with his viewers and to ensure he is adding something to the content he is poaching.
The reason Asmon was making "bad takes" while the video was unfolding was because Oda's structure was ALL OVER THE PLACE. Not Asmons fault that he reacted rationally to the information Odablock was providing, in the order Odablock decided to provide it.
Asmon keeps almost always keeps it real, that's why we all watch him. He's not trying to get sponsors or deals, he could easily spout off publicly acceptable corporate style takes much like Ludwig or Moist, but no, he keeps it real and doesn't care if he looks or sounds like an idiot while doing so.
@@MB-ul5me your essay was not necessary, as you summarised it in your very last sentence. So no I didn’t miss the point 😂
Ok, so what do you all think, how high are the chances that this Trident guy and the streamer girl will still be together after he loses his job at the company?
dear asmon, thank you very kindly for covering this osrs subject. you are appreciated for your content mane
I wish Asmondgold could cover all the ARK drama happening that has been on almost every gaming news outlet in the last week. But theres to much gaming news happening to keep up with it all.
Like you say, the mod doesn't even need to be actually corrupt, the question of impropriety itself existing is a terminable offense. As soon as she started talking about her personal relationship with a mod as if she could get people banned, it was already a huge deal
Funny thing is that this isn't even the worst thing a jagex mod has done haha. Mod Jed spawned billions of gold and was even RMTing some of it, absolute mad lad
Don't forget working with people in RoT to hack thousands of accounts to stealing billions if not over a trillion in gp, so hard in fact that jagex actually gave the effected accounts their gold back in platinum tokens, the first time in runescapes entire history where they have given players their hacked goods back.
But dude , jagex created bonds, so basically trading gold too as a company.
@@lustwaffle Literally the exact same as a WoW Token
@@lustwaffle that doesn't directly create gold except through memberships resulting from bonds that wouldn't have been bought, otherwise it's just an adjacent form of currency
Funny thing is Jagex has been through this all before and in the last case they fired the mod without giving a good enough reason even though the mod stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. Because they fired him so fast they had to go back and pay the thieving mod like a years worth of wages.
I'm sure this case will take a long time to resolve to avoid something like that from happening again.
@@3Dyler it was one of those if they wanted to prove he stole that much money worth of gold they would have to assign an actual cash value to their in game currency and that opens up a whole bigger can of worms lol
Never underestimate human nature, if taking a shortcut makes you more money they WILL take it that's gauranted...
Because no one has principles or reason anymore. Ayn Rand was correct.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 Beast?! Is that one of them new genders?
A part of me hopes that false bans that have been an ongoing issue for years now, were also caused by this, and that this somehow solves it all.

Just for clarity, it’s not just that Stella didn’t like Odablock, it’s that Stella and Odablock are both streamers and do the same content on there platform. So Stella was eliminating her competition in the streaming space cause she is in a relationship with Mod Trident.
@@robertseptim3579 excuse me my mistake. I just saw that she also streamed and streamed content that Oda does or is well known for. My apologies and thank you for correcting me and reiterating the facts. Much love!
@@channingeastman2863 also oda is more known for risk fighting than that
@@haytamhaytam7227 agreed!
You know I'm finally done being surprised by Asmon having such good takes. Earned my sub with this vid.
He should do a deep dive on Mod Jed also, another corrupt mod that Jagex was refusing to investigate. His corruption was so much worse. They’re just recovering from the scandal with him.
Stella and trident both need to deal with legal action but mostly trident. Also he needs to be fired and shouldn't have power at all. This is such a bad look on jagex
Explain the "legal action" she is subject to, since you are such a legal expert. Elaborate. With details.
@@jjstraka1982Hello? Avoiding massive taxes through the years? For all the irl cash she got?
Happy to see you covering this. This is why developers need to have integrity! I'd never allow such UNYOUTHFUL actions to take place in my projects.
@Grind Knight hey man, i'm just picking up on a game engine, self learning. I can't even begin to imagine the [legal] requirements of merely allowing communications in a game, let alone putting out a single player game. Legal disclaimers and terms of service agreements, age ratings, etc.
Imagine blowing a Jagex mod to control the underground of real world trading of Runescape. Both deserve punishment, this is disturbing.
A lot of people on the outside are laughing at the situation saying its just silly video games but for those of us who spend a majority of our free time gaming this situation is infuriating and incredibly unjust. Gaming is a hobby that cost both time and money so our public faces like Asmon or Charlie are doing the right thing by shining a light on these type of things. Way to go.
Lets take a look at this now
Fire Trident IP Ban Stella
I appreciate your take brother, thanks for supporting brother Oda in this weird dilemma.
Respectfully, FREE ODA!
Literally already been freed
Free a guy who consistently rule breaks yeh seems fair
@@thecrimsoncrispyalong with the majority of the player base, might as well shut the entire game down🤣
@@jaggerjackize yeh jagex is plagued by bots and rwt that help maintain the pop. But when you have a popular streamer rwting without any repercussions it reflects much worse. They’ve been trying to stop botting and rwting for years with tons of different updates, letting a streamer get away with it is basically letting people know it’s ok to do it
Knowing Stella owes over 100 billion gold pieces in debt to other players and treats men like piggy banks where she never puts anything back, if Jagex decides to pursue legal action do you think there is even a chance she will help him with legal costs especially because she has made hundreds of thousands of dollars off him abusing his position? No chance.
They had this issue with Mod Jed. They jumped the gun and ended up having to pay him for wrongful termination even though he was hacking player accounts.
Them making the bans temporary is just "this is how we unban you without saying we are unbanning you"
Well, the big problem with the jed thing is, they would've basically had to admit, the RS Gold, had a real life monetary value. Thus truly fking them since, the duel arena is basically... gambling... so it was easier to just pay jed a grand or whatever,
They should take legal action against him regardless of everything just the act of banning is eating into jagex wallet with subscriptions not being bought
the fact that he's head of anti-cheat at jagex coupled with the fact that oldschool runescape is full of bots means hes definitely getting paid by gold farmers to look the other way.
Jagex a company with a history of being tone deaf and the last one in the room to realize something...just like when they made Runescape 3.
In fairness they did immediately terminate Mod Ian (their longest serving employee) the moment he was arrested for molesting a minor without hesitation so on other things they are far and away ahead of the ball.
I'm thinking the OSRS department and RS3 department have different track records and RS3 are more quick on their feet with things.
This happened with Bungie and Lono too.
one verrrry important thing to keep in mind about the ~confirming independent checks and found them to be correct~ statement is that jagex is intentionally admitting no wrongdoing on their part through a public forum. They say it in the most flexible means possible in order to avoid any class action lawsuits regarding any deprivation of product.
Just a couple additions to what you said. Mod trident just got promoted to jagex head of anti cheating 3 weeks ago. As well odablock is the biggest osrs streamer across all platforms. He created a cc to compete with stellas because she got every other cc took down. She is a known scammer and rwter. She has scammed equivalent of $60k usd from her followers
Thank you so much for talking about this. It means a lot to us in the community
Ur my favorite principal Oshag Henesy
I quit Runescape ages ago, but it's cool to see that Jamflex is still being Jamflex
I like how Asmon is incredibly rational about forming an opinion
On this situation* he’s still a dunce in many ways although he thinks he’s a genius 💀
Also if Oda didnt make his video about this recently. This 100% would not have blown up. Its sad thats the reality but thank goodness he did!
This situation reminds me so much of when Lono got banned from Destiny 2 because he "creeped out" a fellow D2 streamer who happened to be dating a Bungie employee.
Abusing the fact you're in a relationship with someone as a means of gains is downright the least gamer thing to do. Whether it be to gain an upper hand or antagonize/threaten others, it's absolutely despicable for a person to do.
Also, imagine breaking company policy to give your "girlfriend" an unfair advantage in the game. He should be outright fired.
I wonder if she threatened him with no bedroom activity.
Yall have never seen catfish accounts? This is entirely in line with how gamers act lmfao
do we have to lock the breastmilk fridge?
I don't know the situation in detail. However, i work in a country with strong workers protection. If a worker is doing illegal, company damaging actions etc, an immediate cancellation is possible. If the situation is not harsh enough to go this way legally, but the company wants to get rid of the person now, companies often decide to cancel on contracted period and immediately send the person on paid vacation for the rest of time, probably together with house ban. If you want / need to get a worker out of the company now, you can do so legally.
Thanks for covering this stuff. Despite the relative 'insignificance' of Runescape in the grand scheme of things, it's well worth covering this level of corruption.
it makes me sad to say this as a runescape player of over 15 years, i think jagex will do everything they can to sweep this under the rug and pretend like everything is fine, as this is FAR from the first time they have had corrupt mods abusing their powers, there has been scammers getting bots that warn about scammers banned, while being a known scammer to everyone there and bot farms getting other bot farms banned by paying mods. i sadly think they wont do anything in the end, best case maybe fire him for good public opinion, but that would be it
Justice doesn't translate to capital, it's better to make a statement saying how committed you are to change and then use that opportunity to make changes within the company for personal reasons whilst the next big scandal takes away your heat.
That's why Tibia fired all GMs and hired Battleeye company
I don't think Asmon realizes how rampant stuff like this is in runescape. MULTIPLE youtubers and people have tried to bring awareness to the stella issue for at least 6 months of my knowledge, I honestly only think they take action now because Asmon and maybe oda speaks up about it a lot and riots happening in fally. Jagex tries to sweep issues like this under the rug. The same thing with all the other corrupt jmods, this isn't the first time at all. Jagex has a serious issue
So many bots, lurers and misc too as oda said some of them are in top 10pvm kills for some monsters and they're still not banned.
The worst thing is, jagex has next to 0 customer support. They have an email they don't respond to and twitter where you cannot post confidential stuff so they "can't help you" since its a public page. You have to make this much drama before they take action otherwise like as in the history of osrs they have just try to sweep it under the rug and hope people forget and that it doesn't blow out of propertion like it is now.
Another example of not being able to communicate was with the 117 HD plugin they just randomly wanted to take down after a year of work from the dude and the community wanted it, everyone had to go to steam when it was newly released and leave bad reviews.. not to be heard, but to not be ignored.
Jagex is not taking this nearly serious enough. You can just tell.
Yes they are what do you want them to say jeez
Asmon I 100% think that you posting about and supporting oda had a huge role in this, the fact that the drama is being brought up from a huge influencer such as yourself that's main focus isn't in osrs really did help push jagex to see that things got seriously messed up.
I do appreciate your honest opinion on all content you do, respect.
I actually used to mail my runescape membership haha 16:50 used to be the most efficient way when I was a kid
I remember reporting someone multiple times for clearly botting agility in the Fresh Start Worlds for RS3 and nothing happened and he ranked like top 5 and probably made a lot of gold off of the rewards for hitting 120 and placing in the top 100 of the skill. He never got banned. I accidentally cut him off on an obstacle only 1 person can use at a time and then his character started running around to random places, then down a ladder where he was stuck for the next 1-2 hours running circles in the pit because he couldn’t get out because his bot didn’t know it needed to click on a ladder. I’m still pretty salty about that because I was playing legit but missed the top 100 because I’m sure there were a lot of bots in the top 100. I wish I had the amount of pull that girl does! 😂
Thank you for your input on the Oda situation brother its keeping our game alive!
This isn't even close to the worst thing a jagex employee has done
Funny thing is, Jagex could have just completed their investigation and quietly fired Trident, let him learn from it and move on to find gainful employment elsewhere. But Stella kept gloating, kept making her orders to Trident public, and generally couldn't keep her mouth shut about their little operation. Of course it was going to blow up online when you're rubbing it in everyone's faces. So now, Trident's entire career in the gaming industry is over. No one will hire him into any kind of GM position after this very public abuse of power, he's too much of a risk.
if the chicks CC behavior changes drasticly, that alone would be massive evidence that somethings been going on, since no doubt Trident is about to stop doing any nonsense he might have been up to.
13:35 basically summarized Top G's message to men dating women. Some might say that would mean the man is controlling or in some twisted manner has low confidence or self esteem, but us in the real world know that relationships have Terms of Service, they are not written, they are kind of expected.
I don’t think a huge company suing an employee is necessary. I think just firing him and making a public statement that they will be examining his bans and opening the door to appeals as well as examining their ban and appeal process going forward and creating stricter guidelines for their account penalties is enough to merit goodwill from the community. Just blacklist this dude from game dev.
jagex may wanna think about folks like myself who have been seriously considering returning to the game but then i see this (which happens in every game) its just one more thing that is in the cons column of whether i should return. when i think if playing runescape i put some level of merit in the faith that im playing on a game ran by a very legit company that will take this sort of behavior SERIOUSLY, caps intended. what i mean is if im pirating a version of a game i know i have to accept that this stuff will be almost normal and a slap on the wrist is the most i could expect. BTW asmon my step daughter had a friendship with a guy who became a blizzard mod and i know first hand that he did all kinds of stuff for her. it was kind of cool cause we all played together but i was also in the back of my head like this is kinda F'd up...
Calling it now, she’ll release an apology video saying the mod threatened her into doing this with a ban and forced the relationship or something like that
One of the issues I take with jagex statement is first they say we looked into the 100 bans we did and found we were right....then immediately turn around and say well we also will make them temporary fishy af. I understand why asmon takes the position he does on the issue and I respect his viewpoint but I personally think it speaks to a far larger issue inside of jagex, I think they all.knew exactly what was happening and I'd be willing to make an accusation that they just didn't care because they were still making bank.
Jagex doesn't want to perm ban or even heavily ban people. they like money more then game integrity. there are MANY storys of people bug abusing and making BILLS and getting 1 to 2 week temp bans.
what make things even funnier is Stella is guilty of so much more bad shit ontop of the abuse of power from the Simp mod she's apparently "dating" yet still not banned herself. lol
here's hoping Jagex isn't dumb again since they admitted to investigating before and ultimately did nothing.
Where was our main man Asmon during the ModJed situation 😂
So, something which I don't think was really addressed but is VERY pertinent:
For all the people thinking that Trident should be immediately fired, that would be a horribly stupid move for the OSRS team. It was only a couple years ago that the most corrupt piece of shit to stain OSRS (Jed) was awarded something like 20,000 pounds because of an improper firing. The ruling, as I understand it, was that because much of the hard evidence for Jed's firing was collected post his leaving (even though they knew he had done it, they just hadn't physically collected the evidence), he was able to win his lawsuit. I absolutely DO think Trident should be put on leave in the meantime, but in no way should they just fire him off rip.
This is the ultimate “my dad works at Nintendo” situation by the way. 😂 🤣
About 15 years, "My dad works at Jagex" was a common statement in game.
If there is a charge for misusing his position and authority absplutely.
But i don't think theyl win a argument about affecting the integrity of bans as the bans he did were confirmed to be deserved, the issue was that it was done at the request of soneone, rather than because it was deserved, untill oda affected stellas income, trident didnt gaf about oda's cheating.
That being said, stella had to do it on a stage, she was trying to funnel people into her cc/discord out of fear of her getting them banned if they use another cc. For that to work she had to establish a public connection to someone in the anti cheat team. But at the same time she over played that connection and pushed it out there to the point corruption was obvious, ideally she should have said it once with a example with someone unknown within the community and then jept her mouth shut, let it just spread within the community silently rather than coming from her and keep a low profile while doing said corruption.
Trident has a lot of overt power. Clearly Stella has stereotypical power where she is able to exert control in a collusive way.
what do you think the odds are Stella is gonna break up with Trident as soon as he gets fired?
Senior Anti Cheating Specialist btw. Let that sink in.
There has been a history of corrupt moderators. Mod Jed was in the largest clan in OSRS giving them insider info. Like the location of the final fight during the $10,000 Deadman Mode tournament, allowing the clan to set up there and secure the win. But beyond that, he hacked hundreds of accounts and stole HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS worth of in-game currency from players.
Then there was Mod Reach, who intentionally wrote a bug into the games code that would allow players to perform a specific sequence of actions that would enable invincibility on their account. Him and his friends used this invincibility bug to camp the boss with the most potential for profit at the time, Corporeal Beast. The true extent of the bug abuse is truly unknown, but based on information gathered it's estimated that over a couple month span, they were able to farm roughly $200,000 worth of OSRS GP. Shortly before Jagex launched their internal investigation into this matter and Mod Reach, he has begun showing up to work in a brand new Audi... which his co-workers found a bit odd considering they made the same amount he did.
Last that I can think of is Mod Jacmob. I don't know how involved he was with OSRS, not sure of his timeline at Jagex. However, I do know that he was originally the owner and creator of the largest botscript website around at the time. He was public enemy #1 for Jagex. They would implement new anti-cheating measures, and he would immediately find creative ways to circumvent them. They eventually had enough of the rat chase and decided to offer him a job. He became the head of the anti cheat department. His story is more interesting than the allegations, because he essentially just let his friends get away with botting. This was just a widely known thing, but never became a topic of discussion with Jagex. At least publicly.
Anyone who has played the game for a while know's exactly how bad of a track record Jagex has. Not just with corruption, either. Also with just general decision making. It seems like it's every 2 months they massively drop the ball or make a horrible choice that impacts the community and players riot.
Man, Jagex is wild
I swear I've seen at least 1 heavy staff/mod corruption event every 2 years or so at this point
I did this
Jagex: instant banned without further investigation.
Mod Trident and his gf scamming everyone and bragging about it
Jagex: we will do a internal investigation
"If I'm going down, im taking you with me BIOTCH!!!!" about sums it up
Trident reminds me of the guy who kept getting promoted at Hooli in Silicon Valley
Just food for thought on this whole thing, my friend was ranked in a dicing clan and was allowed to host games and was allowed to take a certain % of every stake with about half going to his clan. He wasn't the leader he was just ranked and could host and he made so much money selling gold. Thousands a month. So imagine what the leader makes, and if you think they don't RWT you're so stupid, they are generating billions a day
Stella is probably also under investigation for RWT and account servicing. I imagine that is the 'outside' information they mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if that is tied into this statement.
the thing is... the other streamer just get banned recently and not in february
Didn't Blizzard actually do something similar though? I remember a stink about a streamer getting someone banned for dispelling his world buffs. Not the same exact situation sure, but I don't think anyone else was getting banned
The top must've been wild for trident to go ahead an ban someone with near 200k subs.
Like he really didn't go through a mental check on that shit? Wild
A few years ago, my e-mail has been hacked on a data breach, I used to play runescape a lot. One day I tried to log on runescape, and I was "temporarily" banned for breaking the rules, turns out it was a 41000 days ban. I never played runescape again, thank you indonesian hacker.
this is a basic example if you just shut your mouth and not tell everyone what you are doing, you can do it without a problem. what was she even thinking telling everyone he was her input, just wow.
Women ☕
@@tiago_s_ yeah, they continue to amaze me even as a life long pay-to-win girlfriend enjoyer. i could literally write a book 🤣
It's not abuse of power though. It's cooperation between a mod and a player. She knows people who are probably breaking the TOS and asks a mod to investigate it.
Think about it logically. Mods can't investigate every single player. That's just physically impossible. So they have to rely on reports from players to choose who they get to investigate. And it just so happens that Stella is dealing with a lot of shady players every day, so she can aid mods in their work.
But anyway, they're probably going to try and punish that mod. Not because he did something wrong, but because it will cause them millions if they keep him at the company.
I hope Asmon watches a video on Mod Jed situation, it would be so funny to see him realize how corrupt Jagex has been in the past.. it was worse than this situation.
Jagex isn't going to do anything. Most likely they will say: "We have finished investigating, and have concluded that nothing of dubious nature has happened within our teams."
In the UK you cannot pursue legal action against employees unless they did something knowingly illegal that also damaged your brand name significantly (key word here). The actions this guy did was not illegal.
It's wild that they thought Oda wouldn't fight back with full force. It's similar to banning Asmon from WoW. Oda is possibly the biggest PVP streamer in the game and literally just won a Golden Gnome (akin to winning an award at Blizzcon).
For more context, some J-mods in the past have been fired because corruption, the last one was duping gold and RMT
Maybe Stella has broken up with Trident moved on to his boss and now she can ban players AND fire moderators..
They have to be careful because the last time Jagex dealt with internal issues like this was with mod Jed and he sued them after the fact and actually won.
Problem is the guy's being used by her, she's going to dump him now
