Jagex to take legal action against bot companies.

yeah if you get rolled back for botting then there's a chance your items that they think might of been got from the help of botting get removed aswell. So if you made ****loads of money then chances of them removing your items too is high

there are quite a few rumours on people who got hacked. some blaming one bot, some another. i think the key thing is that with free trade it was a easy way to make tons of cash by just logging the information. if you do redevelop the bot later, you're still going to get tons of users so it's a win-win. think about it, you own the bot, free trade comes back, why not make yourself a few billion cleaning out accounts, you're already promoting an illegal thing anyway.

yeah not like they are gonna admit to botting when they realise the developer has robbed their crap cos they will just get banned

Ok for new people to this thread i'll just describe what's happened, as my original post got removed for mentioning the company in question that's involved with botting.

Essentially one of the most (if not the most) prominent bot makers is getting sued by jagex, the link i had posted provided some info about it.

habbo did this in the past with jewlake but i dont think it got 2 court, just the website got shutdonw

[Rashelly]

They'll never stop botting or RWT but good on them for trying... People are making a lot of money from such things, Jagex have a right to sue.

Blizzard managed to pretty much get rid of botting in wow. They took successful action against various bots and succeeded (wowglider i think it was called).
