This must be the stupidest thing a person would do. He would go to jail cause bb guns are really tough.

Don't steal.
Don't use counterfeit money.
Don't use a gun to aid you in the use of counterfeit money and/or stealing.
This seems to be pretty standard stuff...

I personally think that 50% free online games are useless. Either go full paid or free with buyable stuff.

It's a subscription game with a free to play demo, basically.

Why are you even asking this question?
It's not as though he torched a police officer in Saints Row, stole a few bob from a bank in The Heist, or shagged a goat in The Witcher...
These are real world crimes, with real world consequences.

For a second there, I thought Runescape had allowed guns and robberies since I last played.
Was disappoint when I read the article and realized what actually happened.

Stealing from other players and duplicating money in a video game can lead to harsh consequences. Suspension of your account, loss of time invested in the game, and being removed from your guild are just a few of them. Stealing from other people and counterfeiting money in real life, however, can lead to jail time, a criminal record, loss of current and potential future jobs, and the embarrassment of everyone knowing you counterfeited money and robbed a person at gunpoint for RuneScape gold.
According to the New York Post, Bajwa faces up to fifteen years in prison for second degree robbery (no comment on the counterfeit money) in a RuneScape cash sale gone sour. Even though Jagex explicitly prohibits the sale of in-game cash, Bajwa attempted to purchase a large sum of gold with what turned out to be counterfeit cash. When the seller realized that the money was fake, Bajwa pulled a pellet gun manufactured to look like a real gun, and forced the seller to transfer the gold at gunpoint. Bajwa was later arrested at his home in Massachusetts.
Of course, the regular news media is already blaming this on video game addiction, no surprise there. Although RuneScape is no stranger to armed robberies.
