well i was looking on the rs forums while farming and this guy came up with a bad idea here is the link to the thread
http://forum.runescape.com/forums.ws?24,25,601,41628860
if you can't get the thread up then i shall explain it here:
~THE IDEA~
A new random event, maybe introduced by the Mysterious Old Man, should come into existence. When the Mysterious Old Man appears in front of you, he requests you type in the letter/number code in the screen above. The letters WILL NOT be case sensitive. Once you click "Continue", a new little chat box similar to a Private Message box will appear, and you type the code in the box. It will NOT be typed and then a message in Public Chat. And I want to make it absolutely clear that I mean a PICTURE of letters, not text. As several have mentioned, macroers can already decipher regular RS text.
~Idea from Limpnskimpn~: "Also, i think it'd be funny if the Drunken Dwarf was the one to hand you the paper or w/e that has the letters on it... he'd say he's too drunk to read what his public indecency charges are or something..."
If macroers were faced with this problem, it would stop them completely, as other websites have done this. Aditionally the picture should rotate and switch every few seconds to prevent screenshot answers. And Jagex would change the pics every once in a while also.
Obviously, if you get it right, you get the usual reward of a gem or a few coins.
If you do get it wrong, I suggest that you either get teleported elsewhere or you get automatically logged out, which was suggested in other forums in different ways.
Or, it should note everything equipped and in your inventory, therefore it makes an Axe/Lobster Pot/Pickaxe useless until unnoted.
A constructive suggestion from The Arche777 states that there should be THREE trials of this read-and-retype code just in case there's bad typers. If you get all three right, you get a better reward than just one. And this would still have the same effect in the case of macroers.
so if his ever does come true by jagex then we are screwed for a couple of month's i think does anyone know if they could actually solve this
