I spoke with a RuneScape gold website owner to learn not only about how Jagex’s recent crackdown on real-world trade has affected their business, but also to learn about their business as a whole. We discuss everything from legal take-down attempts, to people trying to sell duped gold.

love you guys

I'd buy myself a Lambo Genie as well

Between your professionalism, asking of the right questions and his ability to explain all these processes so well... such a well done and interesting interview perhaps even if you don't play the game.
-
I don’t even play RS and this interview was incredible. I’ve always been fascinated on how people find ways to make money on any game. The revenue RuneScape gold sellers generates really baffled me while also making me look at this type of business in a different light. Amazing work Crumb! Take my sub!
-
Super impressed by this entire thing. To start, your professionalism was refreshing & told me right away this would be quality content. You asked all the right questions and articulated the issues here expertly so that people who don’t even play the game understands the situation here. Captivating watch. Thank you!
-
I have to say, this was probably the most interesting video you've ever put out! Fantastic job with the interview, you asked every single question I had, and unlike most interviewers you actually let him answer in full - great job!
-
You know when it's a legit conversation with a site owner when you hear the different emotions in his voice with some of the awnsers. Good video crumb 👌
-
Your interviewing technique is so good, very easy and informative to follow!
-
Incredible video man. Great analysis, clear commentary, professional production. All-around killed it. Keep it up
-
Incredibly interesting interview. It’s incredible the big gold sites all talk and are friendly. I figured there would be fierce competition
-
Absolutely love what you do. While I no longer play the game or consider myself part of the community, you and Settled are the only two I still consistently watch. Keep up the good work my guy
-
This is your best video yet by far. Both the questions and the interviewee are just great.
-
Great interview! The questions were right on and he was pretty open about his answers too. Hats off to the owner for being smart and investing his money elsewhere as well.
-
Perfect questions, perfect guest. I love hearing about unorthodox income streams.
-
Really well done thanks Crumbs for such an informative interview
-
Great inverview, Crumb. Glad to see you thriving and putting out quality content. :)
-
I'll be honest. Regardless of how rwt effects the game, I still think this is super cool. To hear a bit of the inner workings of the underbelly of a game that has been a part of literally 2/3rds of my life (turning 30 in a few days and have played since I was 9)
-
Absolutely fascinating interview. This topic has always interested me. Great vid :D
-
Super insightful! So interesting to see how profitable this black market can be for the right people. It's pretty insane to me to think that this guy has been able to thrive so much off of GP in a digital game. Only time will tell with the additional changes they make, but I can't see RWT going anywhere for some time, just shifting from its current state.

Dang almost 100k subs now! Way to go! Keep up the great work, it's much appreciated!
