Jagex is only... 8 months late. Everyone has already maxed their mains, their pures, their tanks, and have already made enough money on their goldfarming accounts. Also, this still doesn't fix the RWT problem, but this doesn't 'directly' affect gameplay in the sense that players can't see it right in front of their eyes.
Heh... after reading some of the posts by Mods talking about having time now to target that 2% finally. I wonder how that conversation went between the Moderators...
Code:Mod A:
"Wonderful news, the bot sites are in a frenzy and the legit players are rejoicing."
Mod B:
"Absolutely, it seems we struck the finishing blow this time. It's a great day indeed."
Mod A:
"So... with all of this freed up time, do we have some big updates in mind, maybe the next big installment of a new skill or activity?"
Mod B:
"Not quite yet, as we have to use the majority of this time for overcoming the most difficult (and probably impossible) challenge in Runescape since day one."
Mod A:
"Wow sounds serious, what is it exactly? Some game engine reworks? In-game bugs that are being exploited?"
Mod B:
".....SRL"
THE END! I put it in code tags for the irony.
Edit:
I wanna throw something else out there... I don't think I've even said it yet, but if you're lurking around, I do tip my hat to you Jagex, you did a wonderful job! More power to you, definitely. I can assure you though, as tradition within the SRL community, we'll surely step up to the challenge. "Screen raking" isn't so easy to make accurate scripts for, especially for a game like Runescape, but that's what motivates us here the most, the challenge!
Have you guys seen how many players are now online?
There's like under 40k players...
PS: I wanted to add an image, but never know how to.
The average amount of users online was 180k before the update, and it has never risen past 100k now.
holy shit, it took jagex only 10 years to realise that grind is one of the root problems of botting. Damn they're smart.
I heard rumors that inventory items now shrink and grow. Anyone can conform?
Why are you always attacking Jagex like this? I notice nothing positive about them coming from you.Quote:

is pretty scary I think. Just shows how many people use macros really. I predict those numbers will go down when their bonus exp stuff ends next week, if major Java bots still aren't fixed. :\
Could be the start of old players coming back. The fact that when 120k/200k of your players are bots isn't a good thing for a company - or at least a successful one.Quote:

I think their last update cured this.
some are still tiny.. some aren'tQuote:

I've read somewhere on the runescape forums that colours will change every x hours. Therefore we will need to increase our tolerance in our functions. This might be such a big increase that our color bots will start recognizing objects as other objects (because the colors are too much alike).
If everyone implements autocoloring throughout their scripts, then I don't foresee it posing a problem.
You cannot autocolor something if the color changes too much or if objects become similar looking because the color might become the same.Quote:

Almost anything can be autocolored. And we appreciate feed back, but dont spam the forums to get x amount of posts trying to get into the higher sections of the forums.Quote:

If that happend you could surly put If FindColor from blue very light to blue very dark plus it would have to match the shape of what your looking for to (something in that sense). There is always a way round everything, it's just working it out :p.
If they will change colors for every x hours, then it's better wait, see if there is some kind of pattern. That, probably, will be like hooks. Might be possible with help of autocolor, but also might not be possible with it.
If not possible, wouldn't take much time to collect information about those colors around the whole Runescape world?
Colors rotate with every loading screen, both minimap as well as objects. The time that colors where stable is long gone.Quote:

(Granted, I haven't scripted in a VERY long time, ha)
It's now neat time to return! (hint) ;)Quote:

- 9000 botting accounts are being banned per minute.
- A total 7.7 million botting accounts will be banned by Sunday.
- 1.5 million accounts were banned last Tuesday.
- There are 750,000 accounts created per month from China.
- 200,000 botting accounts were being created per day before Tuesday.
- 60% of RuneScape players online on Tuesday (and before then) were bots.
- A small percentage of genuine players were also banned.
- Only 2% of the bots were clicker-bots rather than the reflection type bots.
- Jagex believe their Tuesday anti-botting update will work for a "significant period of time" but not forever.
- Jagex agree that they don't communicate with the players as well. They hope to improve.
- Last fact: Some really old geezers play RuneScape.
For real?Quote:

Thats ridiculous. If I had a company of that size, I wouldn't sacrifice genuine players over bots...
I heard about that, those people got unbanned and got back extra members credit for the days they lost.Quote:

Until this one account gets banned, I'll continue to doubt any real mass ban is happening.
I know a guy who botted to 93 mining on f2p on the 1k+ world at the wilderness iron rocks, I reported him like every day for a week, he stopped botting when he reached 93. I even killed him a few times with my mage pure and watched him spazz at edgeville.Quote:

I laughed at the old ass dude complaining about the mods not being active enough on the forums.Quote:

+1, He also brought his wife with him. It looks like the guy behind him on the left side of the screen has some difficulties keeping a straight face.Quote:
