There's a difference. See, in that case, it's 1. obvious when someone is driving drunk and 2. definitely possible to catch someone, though not everyone is caught (though I'm sure someone has gotten away with every crime at least once.) In the case of Runescape, how would they catch someone? If they reported themselves? It's damn near impossible for them to catch someone trading between accounts, and even if they did, the person wouldn't be banned for trading between accounts. If you were logged in two accounts at a time, they'd ban you for multiple logins. If you gave money to a friend to give to your account, they'd probably ban you for real world trading. If you drop traded, they wouldn't be able to tell. It's an idiotic rule. The rule used to be you couldn't have multiple accounts, but they never enforced it/cared about it, since many people openly talked about having a pker, so they changed it to not trading between accounts. They still don't enforce it/care about it, so give it time and it'll change again to something less strict, or just be eradicated completely.
I agree with your consensus but I do not think it's an idiotic rule. I think its unfair for accounts to interact and if Jagex catchs people fishing sharks while they training combat and trading the sharks to their other character to save money.

I now use that one to take a break from my main. The only thing I do with him is strength training on cows. Sometimes when I'm between goals and I haven't decided what to do next, I get on the 2nd account and just zone out for a hour or so until I make up my mind what to do with my main. I only play that account once or twice every 6 months or so.

I have more than 1 account. My main is geared towards skilling and the combat stats are all pretty even. I made another one just to see what the attraction was for PKing. (I still don't get it.)

Item trasnfer between accounts is a problem with second accounts that I think Jagex needs to address, and they need to start banning friends for assisting in this rule breaking as well. I think Jagex could do their part by steping up and telling people who honestly don't know, that paying for items on one account and getting them on another, trasnfering items though friends, selling to a shop and buying on another character, etc., is all in violation of the rule, and drop trading is only used as an example, but I'm on a tangent.
The only second accounts that make much since to me are combat pures, for staking and PKing (unfortunately they are transfered items a lot), second accounts for mods to play without being bothered, and an account you use to freak people out on that you keep without any skills.

I could not disagree more. If you use a 3rd party, what possible harm could it do? If you ban friends for assisting, whose to say they know that both accounts are the same person?
Take a hypothetical situation:
I tell a friend of mine that my son and I both play and I want to sell him some stuff. I also tell him that my son and I cannot get on the same computer at the same time to trade the items so I ask him to help. Now let's say that JAGeX started banning friends for assisting in trading items between accounts owned by the same person.
1) My friend refuses to help because of the rule and he is not really sure if they are both my accounts or not.
2) My friend helps and gets banned along with my son and I because JAGeX is blind enough to also believe that both accounts are mine.
Is either of those 2 scenarios fair?
What it boils down to is the fact that as long as people have multiple accounts, they will find some way to get items from one account to other if they want to. And JAGeX will never be able to fully stop it.
All I would have to do is use 2, 3, or more friends to muddle the trail of trading. If I wanted my low-level account to have items, I could get them to him.
I personally believe that the rule between multiple accounts should say "No direct interaction."
