Too many bots.

Personally, I don't agree with the bot catcher. It'd be more likely an annoyance to the Jagex employees who monitor the system than it does help them. After all, Jagex are ultimately our friends.

If they wanted to ban every level three player in one area, they could do that with the flick of a switch (or click of a mouse button, just grab all the players in one area from the server and ban). The bot catcher would just add a significant amount of more reports ( with some level 3's being legitimate payer) than the actual helpful ones, observed by real humans, submitted by a legitimate player.

What do you guys think about switching from RS and botting a new game, because botting on RS these days can be done by anyone and they don't even bother making the bots look human like

What about randomised paths?

This is also what I think. If we made something like this it should actually follow the players and ask questions and detect repeative things before reporting... And not just level 3.

Right now we just bot goods, go to the grand exchange and dump. Removing the G.e will stop prices from getting incredibly low. I remember that during aryan and Rsdemon times which had a much crazier influx of bots than today's current one, prices of yews/sharks/lobs and everyday items stayed stable.

I agree with this. Runescape before the ge was such a challenge but it was much more fun. I attribute all my real life bargaining skills to runescape.

You can merch just fine with the GE.

im getting incredibly slowly 12 yew logs an hour with one bot, due to the fact 40 others is cutting the same tree over and over.

For any legit WC'ing and mining, I've started going to obscure spots and using Seer's village tele to bank (IIRC it's the most efficient use of a law rune anyways, so not really a waste). Still, I wish RSBot would go down for good. There'd be less than 1/4 of the bots there are now.

Because they'll be more bots.

I'd like a new game engine update, to kill all these reflection bots. Yes, that means bye for our reflection but we have the advantage of SRL and color.

They'd just fix RSBot in a matter of days/weeks, I don't see your point?

Yea, but it just doesn't feel the same. Something about standing around and trying to find the person selling what you were buying...maybe it is just childhood nostalgia:p

I would guess that would depend on the magnitude of the engine modification, wouldn't you? Or what if the client itself is to be completely redone.

Jagex is too lazy to do anything like that. Even if the updaters has to be completely rewritten, the bot problem would only be solved for a few weeks at the max. And that's only for bots that rely upon client hooks, everything that relies on color or shapes would still be up and running.

A membership pin is one solution. Even though it costs 8-10M (no?), I think it sure is worth it. I'm at the Varrock East Mine, feeling all lonely cause no one is around and I'm getting too much cash :). And I'm sure other places are WAY less crowded, too.

Then try the maples at Catherby... or the million other oak/willow/maple locations throughout the P2P map. Oaks and maples were usually slower than willows back in the day, but since today most oaks (at least in P2P) and maples are less crowded, it would actually be better to chop these for XP and cash.

It's not very easy to make money off woodcutting period. The only way is given you're 80+ woodcutting, cutting yews in p2p worlds, and even then it's not that much per hour given that even then you're still competing with multiple other bots.

I think you should invest your time in mining, and like LolL said, buy a pin. There's many quiet places to mine iron/coal in the member worlds.

Fight your way through bots till you've got enough cash for a pin or just grow a pair and buy one, then go do p2p shit.

Where can you get a pin for rs gold?

i have my 2 p2p tots running in rimmy. they do just fine there.

The SRL Black Market is only for SRL Members +.

The last time botting got rampant Jagex improved their detection system and banned several hundred thousand accounts. I am just waiting for the day the "I got banned" thread explodes. Jagex will eventually figure out how to detect it, and hundreds of thousands will be banned.

Even in p2p it's terrible in some spots. ALL the green drag spots, along with blue drags, thzaar, and many other places there's hoards of botters. Yesterday I went to arma gwd and there's even hoards of them at aviancies! I don't see why Jagex can't hire a couple more Mods that specifically just go through the worlds to various high traffic botting areas and just manually perm ban them.

Oh wait, because each bot means +$5, and if there's 10 bots alone at aviancies in one world, that's $50 a month, but then you multiply that by over 140 worlds, that's over $7,000 each month alone JUST from aviancies.

I didn't know it would come to this day where botters are complaining about too much botters.

Seriously Jagex...

This thread is full of hypocrisy.

Don't think we're better because we don't use the same method - in the end, SRL is just another bot.

I'm mad at Jagex for not doing its job and making this a challenge.

Edit: Anyone can just download and run for any 99 in a short amount of time.

Edit2: That's progress on our side, but it seems cheap.

Edit3: The best is usually produced after trial and error. Jagex is simply not doing their part on that balanced scale.

That means we win ;)

I wonder if its possible for someone to sue Jagex for not banning bots, because if was going to pay to become a member and i cant train anywhere for a decent xp/hr then its jagex's fault(isn't it?)

It's their game. I'm pretty sure you can't sue a company for not being able to play their game how you think you should be able to, lol.

So, no.

No we are better. We respect the game unlike other communities. We even have a bot that catches other bots. We even have rules on how to auto correctly. And the color autoing part of this community is completely legal not infringing any copy rights. We do not bot so extremely that the game becomes unplayable.

When you subscribe to members Jagex promises you countless training places for you to train at ease and countless ways to obtain items. Unfortunately due to everything being infiltrated by bots, members server do not have much of a difference or advantage over non members.

If you're trying to say you could sue Jagex and have a chance at winning, then you're wrong.

No shit - but you could hurt them. Though It's not like we have any will or power to sue anyway.
