21-Oct-2011 - Bot-Busting and Bonuses For All

What do you guys think of this?

http://services.runescape.com/m=news...onuses-for-all

Some quotes from the post:

"Today, I am really happy to say we are in the long-awaited position of being able to announce that we’ll be launching our most formidable bot-busting weapon in our history, targeting what we believe to be 98% of the bots seen in game."

"The project, code-named the ‘ClusterFlutterer’, will be launched as part of the RuneScape game update on Tuesday the 25th October permanently preventing “reflection” bots from working again."

Discuss. :S

we use reflection too....what r u so happy about :redface:
------
ha! called it in a post like 2 days ago. in anycase, im gona finish botting my agility, and then im gona stop until things die down. not even gona wait till the 25th. just to be safe...to any1 who hates a skill, i recomend u bot the fk out of it while u still can.

wb colors. we missed u!

the only thing they can legally do against reflection is take away the labeling so we wont be able to use it am i right? (i dont think i am)...

they said stop ref bots from working, doesnt mean detect em? in anycase we dont inject like java does? sooo do u think ref will be ok for us?

btw....were about to get a fk ton more members for srl.

if wt-fakawi or wizz or neilsie can gather some statistics in the next month or so id love to see em haha.

Won't they ban who previously botted? :x

If this is the case, we should all pool together over the next 4 days and get MSI colour locations etc done.

I won't bot for now lol
Time to play legit!

also...that 3x experience in slayer... wow! I can now get 99 slayer and get maxed at same day! :)

At the same time, we will be removing the ‘unsigned’ method of loading the game. Unsigned mode gives poor performance for players and is a confusing fall back for when the game crashes or suffers compatibility problems. Additionally, it holds back our ability to provide better graphics, sound and game play for the vast majority of players using the normal game client (more than 99.5% of our player base).

---

Hah.

Not that most people used unsigned here anyways, http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59019 is a good read.

ALL botted items are going crazy... Just made 200m in 5 minutes with furies. Bought instant for 6.2m sold back 5 minutes later 8.6m each. Lol. I suggest people don't do this though since it's really risky atm. Prices going up and down by 5-10% in minutes.

We have also recently detected and banned over 1.5 million botting and gold farming accounts.

---

I've never gotten an account banned with TRiBot. :)

I can't wait for Tuesday to see what Jagex has in hand. I doubt they'll be able to stop me. :stirthepot:

They are too cheap with a small limit :S D bones are +3.2k each already and I don't see them going over 4k. 10k of them per 4 hours is only 10-20m profit max before they reach ~4k, and there are items that can give a lot more than that if you just have buying power.

EDIT. D bones are over 3.6k already.... haha crazy

Colour shall prevail!

Here is the deal ... I'm 3m exp away from getting maxed. Yes, 1m for attack, str and defense.

I'm 94 slayer only. But have tons of effigies. But still, need like 10 to go frlom 96-99 slayer. So, with that bonus, I pretend to get the maximum of exp slayer on that day, so I keep a far distance from getting maxed.

Something like that..

Looks like color is the future of rs macroing, and we can expect hyper inflation and the value of the GP to go up.

I say we all work together on a soulwars bot in color so on friday when the zeal you get is tripled we can really capitalize on it.

"Friday:

Soul Wars day: Players will receive triple the usual amount of zeal points."

Instead of ~8 an hour zeal, we would get 24. That's a lot of XP.

Any guesses at who the other 2% are?

Probably RiD, not SRL.

You'd have to buy like 80+ furies for that and you can only buy 10 every 4 hours.


It's interesting to see how well they can prevent reflection methods and can they prevent injection at all..

How about open-gl hooking?

The limit for furies is 100. And I bought 100, which is 240m profit.

RiD is going to have a blast with this. And well deserved at that. It's probably the best colour based bot I've ever come across.

If they manage to stop reflection bots at all.

Ahaha, the day has finally come that they stopped Java bots. Perhaps this new update will entice me to begin scripting again

I tried RiD once. It was terrible. Couldn't even find the ore when I followed their steps correctly and was in a supported location.

Same here. It's just a over-hyped bot with a nice mouse moving procedure. Nothing big really

I've used its' MTA and PC bots for hundreds of hours, making me good amounts of GP, with only seldom the slightest of hiccups. I do agree, you have to follow a certain set of rules in order to use it properly, but once you've got it working, it's a great bot.

This "over-hyped bot with a nice mouse moving procedure" is the exact description of what people would look for in a bot. You could describe an iPhone as an "over-hyped phone with a nice interface", millions of people use it nevertheless. Also, I've suggested that we, as SRL, create a mouse procedure alike but never once did anyone really pick that up. Our loss.

I have not tried their mining bot so I don't have an opinion about it. Saying "RiD is really unfair. If it was, nobody would be using it.

This may just mark a new era for java bots, I can't wait to see what some of the developers came up with and how client hackers decide to counter it. And if they do "permanently" break java bots, then people will be forced to bot with color, which isn't that bad either. I'm actually excited for this update :)

Time to get this bitch back on track lol, I really want to see Jagex messing up their client to the state where making an "Updater" is unfeasible, and people will be flooding here :D

(They named their project ClusterFlutterer which sounds like the client will look like a clusterfuck on the inside)

We have the mouse changes.. also, if you want more RiD like mousing, just mess with the parameters in WindMouse.

Oh, and fun fact.. Most bots use BenLand's algorithm. :)

hmm i doubt they would say such a thing without being 100% sure. seeing as if they do fail they will get some heavy heat from players. theyre player base is already falling (real playes :p) so i dont think theyde risk such a thing. of course on the other hand...if a bunch of flagged accounts all of a sudden stop doing their usual routines, well that might flag them even more and jagex would have won with reverse psychology?:stirthepot:

If they do manage to break Reflection, I guess it's back to the good ol' days of colour! :D

They aren't just aimed at reflection based bots. They claim to be able to stop all injection bots too.

FUCK YES!

Look no offense to all you reflection dev's out there, I appreciate your work and everything, but Runescape has become literally unplayable. You can't play legit anymore. You can't be happy with any accomplishment you do legitly because there are bots that can do what you just did. Rsbot, Rsbuddy, iBot/Nexus, and all those gold farmers really put a dent into playing RS.

I welcome this update Jagex, even If my accounts are part of this ban I do welcome it. If Jagex isn't bull shitting, then it's back to color :).

Samesies. I for one liked color more than Reflection. Reflection pretty much took the challenge out of scripting, I thought searching for colors and finding the right tolerance was not only tedious, but strangely quite entertaining. Reflection took all that away with simple object IDs. I've been planning on getting back into scripting, and with this update I just might. ;)

Every MSI script works in colour with the exception of Runecrafting (and I plan to fix that in the near future).

I'm really looking forward to see how this turns out. :)

Stopping injection bots is prob easier to do anyways, all they have to do is check for classes implementing extra interfaces (hooks) and containing extra methods (accessor methods).

Whatever way they do it, I won't be surprised if someone finds a way around it. We've already proven that OpenGL hooking is possible, so I imaging that will be the next generation of botting, unless they plan to stop that at the same time.
