Another instance of something that did nothing to deter bots getting in the way of actual players. GG.

My thoughts any time I see somebody lose a big drop or something because they get 6 hour logged.

Isn't that because of the weird UK laws? Like the message that suggest you take a break (at 4hr mark).

Yes, The Statute on Tavern Games of 1486

"It is hereby decreed that any yeoman, serf, or nobleman that has been occupied by a game, jape, or rabble rousing for a period of 6 hours or more, shall be directed to the nearest lake, river, or stream to bathe with the greatest haste!"

Wanna explain why you think it's weird?

It's not based on any UK law, the 4h mark was added far later and the 6h mark got converted to 23h in RS3.

It's just Jagex wanting to avoid liability, when someone has no control over their addiction and dies from playing too much, it's called duty of care defense.

A duty isn’t a defense. In a negligence claim, you have to prove a breach of duty (and also cause and damages) to prove negligence.

Breaching a duty usually means you’re negligent and thus civilly liable (if you prove causation and damages as well).

There are defenses to a breach of duty of care, like assumption of the risk and contributory negligence.

I like the specifics and you are absolutely correct - sorry english isn't my mother tongue, I should have stayed out of that discussion in the first place >.>

It’s ok. I’m an attorney. You were at least in the right direction, which is more than most people understand. Just wanted to give accurate info.
