Why.. Why do you people report!?

[Cookiemonster37]

Okay, I do not understand some of you people, I hear countless people talking about you see people auto-ing and then your report. Why? What would possess you to report a fellow auto-er? we have to look out for each other not report eachother...


Even if I wasn't an autoer I wouldn't report people who did auto because who cares! So I'm really having trouble understanding why so many of you report other autoers? Like why be such a rat?

I'm not calling anyone here a twelve year old, most of you are smart scripters and coders, but now that I started playing runescape again I remember why I quit mostly(other then the fact I got banned), because of the fact it's filled with 12 year old tattle tales. You say a curse word like damn that looks like fuck and then the next thing you see is eight kids typing reported. It is really GAY.

[Luski14]

If your autoing with a level 3, with plain clothes. I report.

Take the time to change the clothes, make an original name, level it up CBLvl of 30-40ish?
Its not that hard, and it doesn't take that long.

[senrath]

I report only if I see someone autoing incredibly stupidly. If I can tell beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone is autoing, I report them. Default appearance (I mean, how hard is it to click the randomize button a couple of times?), really low combat level (<10. I'm a bit more lenient than others), and names that no sane person would want help me make up my mind. But mostly it's based on behavior patterns.

That said, I haven't reported anyone in a long time for autoing. I've come across some people that I was pretty sure were autoing, but only because I was looking for it. If a regular person (someone not connected to cheating) probably couldn't tell if someone was autoing, I don't report.

[Cookiemonster37]

I'm over lvl 55 legit, and the rest is 80% auto. I don't wear default clothes at all obviously haha.

[Aser]

The reason I can think of that we report people is because of the time before the trade restrictions when RSDeamon was running rampant. It was ruining the game by creating tons of autoer characters that would just bog down the game. I guess that I just really hate the idea of macros ruining to game so far as to cause Jagex to create trade restrictions. Low level autoers caused the game to be screwed over for people who were autoing smartly (higher level autoers).

[gerauchert]

Yeah just like he said...

RSDemon had thousands of autoers all lvl 3 with default clothes, and made the game not even fun to auto. SRL attempts to have our autoers blend in with the legit players, and be "human like" in our scripts. If you are autoing and it is obvious (ie: low cmb, default clothes, shit name ect.) then you deserve to get reported and banned.

If we didnt threaten with this, then leechers would be running rampant with lvl 3 chars and such

[TViYH]

Leechers are still running rampant with lvl 3 chars and such.

We report because you didn't make any attempt to honor you autoer. It is your worker. Give it 30+ combat, normal clothes, etc. Don't just rape it.

[randy marsh]

Thanks to rsdemon wildy went and so do pking because of people botting in basic clothed and stupid names like asgdhasgd

And they where to lazy to get there comabt levels up!

This is why we report !

[Capricorn]

I find it extremely hypocritical to report someone else for macroing. And besides, you guys speak like reporting those bots actually improves the game. It did not. They just restarted their create character bot, which ran tutorial island. Thats the problem with your guys beliefs and ideas. You speak like you believe reporting those bots were effective and worthwhile, when in 5 days or so they were going to get banned anyway, and just create a new character.

When the only people this is effective against is the people who have a few main character that they macro high.

Except that we don't report those people. Unless they're complete idiots.

[n3ss3s]

So half of the forum hasn't got an idea why we report people who auto on shitty clothed and leveled accounts? It happens to be because they drag us down with them, we don't want to be banned because of our own scripts, but if Jagex seems 5 small level people and 2 60+ level people mining in guild, and all of them fail gas or can't re-attack pick, they're all banned.

There's no hypocricy going on there... Saying hypocricy is hypocricy, which is hypocricy e.g..

[koo29]

My theory is that people report because they hope that they will become mods. Also the great Jagex is pleased when you do that. Oh well, thats the reason we have Zezima reporter...

It seems we have different beliefs. I thought SRL was all about blending in and being undetectable? If that were the case then I would have to say you shouldn't be getting reported for being a bot. Let the legit players report anyone they deem bots, they are pretty good at it.

Also, I would like to say thats a poor example. Why would Jagex ban 5 smaller leveled accounts and automatically assume everyone in a radius are also bots? One, Jagex does not take into account your combat level (They can not after all, a lot of legit players are level 3). And if they banned anyone within a radius of a banned bot the games population would dwindle.

edit: Also, what if they like the default clothing?

[P1nky]

i report cause its not me :)

ill report anyone except friends.

[n3ss3s]

Yes, we all at SRL hope to become player mods, we want to participate in making RuneScape a better game for new people to play.


Capricorn, they don't ban the mains because of the clear autoers, they start watching out because of the autoers, then when both of the mains fail it dodging gas because for example if gas color got changed and nobody had knew it before someone put their army autoing overnight, so they fail to dodge gas and get banned.


If that were the case then I would have to say you shouldn't be getting reported for being a bot.

Only people reporting are the noobs that come to you and ask why don't you talk, and reporting isn't really the reason of getting banned, unless it's a real epidemy...

[randy marsh]

we report to scare people from botting lvl 3 and default clothing

[boberman]

While I don't report often, I do report the obvious. Too many autoers hurt the RS economy, that directly effects the amount of $ I can obtain in the game. If you don't care enough to write a good script that looks somewhat convincing, why should I care if one of your five million characters gets banned?

You are looking at this way to vaguely...

The "image" of a bot was created by RSDemon and their default clothed swarms of level 3 chars. Before this bot, there wasnt an "image" for what a bot looks like. In fact, im sure much of runescapes legit players had no clue what autoing even was back then.

Now, whenever people (people who played during the RSDemon era) see a level three with default clothes and a shit name they will get at least a little bit suspicious. Then comes the "test". They try to talk to the character. If there is no response and there is obvious bot-like behavior, then the character deserves to be reported, whether by a legit or another macroer.

About it being worthwhile... it was more the principle of the matter. SRL wished to blend in with the legit players as to not draw attention to itself as a macroing program. During this time, we were worried that we would be thrown into the same lot as the shitty bot that was ruining the game and that jagex would take action against us as well.

[Macros]

i'd say a lot of people report in the hopes that they'll become mods. mods aren't what they're let up to be though =p

I'm sorry but that makes no sense, if you report a stupid noob autoing in a guild, then JaGex will see sooner that someone was autoing down there and look for others, if you don't report then they might not catch on as fast to find the other higher levels, reporting will only let JaGex find people who use your scipt even faster, not slower. Best thing to do would be mix up the antiban every once in a while, and improve on your gas finding and re-attatching picks (for your example, that'd be best thing to do).

I am looking at this to vaguely? How can you look at something vaguely? Maybe you guys are looking at it to definitely. If players only report players who are 1) level 3 2) don't respond to chat 3) has default clothing, then what do you care? If anything Aryan (I don't recall this RSDemon?) actually HELPED you guys blend in. Now as long as you aren't level 3 and wear default clothes hey, you are not a botter!

And if Jagex is watching you because they are suspicious, then it is not because theres a level 3 with default clothing 20 tiles away from you. Its because you look like you are not a human.

[Baked0420]

but it could also be because a bunch of bots may have been caught for the same thing and maybe you play legit but they notice an hour or two, you have the same pattern as them. you do have a good arguement, but other people abusing SRL can lead to you getting banned.

You have to think of yourself as a individual and not as a group. Also, I highly doubt Jagex can record your mouse movements as a pattern from a script and make a mouse profile and compare it to every player in the game, or even selected players. I imagine it'd be to much work. Not to mention that theres a bunch of randomization that goes on. Otherwise they would have a mouse profile for the mouse procedure and all they would have to do is compare it to a couple records and ban everyone at SRL.

Anyway, thats just my take on it. If you believe otherwise you are free to, after all everyone is titled to their own opinion, this is just how I see it.

[fearfox20]

if people can tell that your autoing (Default clothes, no anti random, strange name, etc.)
then we should report you because you aren't even trying to act like a normal player all your doing is ruining rs
it doesn't take much to get a name that is actually a word and click a button a few times to change your clothes and if your even a high level and your obviously autoing because your running a terrible script why shouldn't we report you jagex will probably catch you and start figuring out some of the ways we script

[Smarter Child]

I usually prefer to reportpeople doing things other than macroing. Personally I believe that the reporting people for macroing is stupid. But if it happens to be some gay level 3 training a skill, with acting only a little bot like then i report.:though Jagex already has full access to SRL and all it's scripts/includes. Even member scripts, there must at least one SRL member that is part of Jagex.W\E everyone has their own opinions about this topic~

Jagex already knows the ways be script.

[Baked0420]

fearfox way to say everything that other people have said :p, and if you have no antirandom you aren't ruining the game, because your script will probably fail after 30minutes to an hour.

[Boreas]

At SRL we blend in with legit players, and do as close as possible to what legit players do.
+
Legit players support reporting obvious botters.
=
At SRL we support reporting obvious botters.

That is the logic. Here is what it boils down to for you.

Report obvious botters if you wish (though we don't force you to).
If you are an obvious botter, you will be reported. Period. By SRL users or by legits, doesn't really matter.
Follow the 7 Golden Rules of SRL (http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12), and blend in with legits.

If you don't know how to follow the rules, then don't play the game. It's as simple as that. :duh: Didn't you quit? If you did, then why are you so interested?

If these days came back i personaly wouldnt mind, i found it hilarious watching the bots and trapping them.
