Just about 1400 years ago, there were a number of terrorist attacks on minor islamic states in the middle east by christian extremists. So omar ebn al khatab went on some raids upon states such which had part in the atacks, had the leaders captured caught and made to sign a peace treaty by non-violent means. He then had his men bring chicken and lamb tht had been cooked laviously to feed his christian guests whom up untill an hour ago had been his enemies but were now his allies.

he then realsed the christian leaders from his custody and sent thtem home with modest gifts

And for the next 200 years there was not a single christian extremist attack anywhere in the world.

Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in europe or america? The question is, how can a muslim come to try and make a peace treaty when he sees what ppl like Black Jack Pershing did?

While not illegal, it's frowned upon. It doesn't fall under macroing, but more of "Using an altered client to play the game." Alot of people use it, but I don't trust it.

Just paranoid about security that one day the makers will implement a keylogger and hack all that use it!! OMG

Technically it isn't against the rules as Kaiz said. I do like it, and I've used it for about 6 months. I find it very helpful, especially with all the calculators.

If I were you I wouldn't trust swiftswitch. I'm going to have to go with Kaiser that there will be a day that many accounts can be stolen that have been using this method. I wouldn't think they would turn down accounts that are available to be stolen. The makers can't be trusted.

It's SwiftSwitch, not SwitchSwift.

It's not merely an issue of whether you trust the makers, but also how secure they are. It's easy enough to do things to improve your own security to avoid getting hacked, but there's no way of knowing if Swiftswitch is going to get hacked by someone, allowing them access to all the accounts.

I haven't used swiftswitch, but I did use the rs toolkit back on Rs1. (which seems to be a fairly similar thing)

If you're going to use it then do so, but just be aware that there's a possibility it will come at a cost. If you're really paranoid about losing your character, best to go without it.

Remember, you have to think. What if one day the makers decide to implement a keylogger in it? Sure, it may be safe now, but what's to stop them from making it a mass hacking tool in the future?

Dunno about regular members.. But Fireblade, Star, and I especially can't use it. Jagex doesn't allow us, or we gets in trouble for riskign account security.

I agree with kaiser on this one, a lot of altered clients that seem shady or non legit, it's best not to use them then, never know when you could get hacked, also a lot of the clients I have seen have been loaded with a bunch of trojans that totally mess your computer up. Sadly I tried one before and almost crashed my computer because of it.
