No, I mean
people like these. Along with articles like
this one, it's clear that some companies and governments see people with experience in the right area as valuable assets. This case is really no different.
Let's see what might be useful to a company like Jagex who is interested in stopping botting and RWT:
- Experience combatting existing bot detection
- Insider knowledge of the botting community
- Understanding of the RS client
- Understanding of Java bytecode, transformations on that bytecode, and techniques to bolster the security of the original code
- General Computer Science knowledge
Weird, it's almost like Jacmob (who has the aforementioned qualities) could be useful to Jagex in their effort to improve their technologies and combat bots!
The answer to your question should be rather obvious: because stopping botting and RWT is an ongoing process. You've been around to see many bots come and go, and I'm sure you've heard about different technologies Jagex has put into place to combat both of these things. Pretending there is a one-and-done solution to this problem would be incredibly naive.
