Ridiculous amount of bots these days.

[Rashelly]

Those who say that shouldn't play the game then, at the end of the day that is part of the game. If you want to fight other players for fun, you need to work for it.

Oh I agree. I have never botted and never will but there are a few who are very arrogant who will say such things.

[Banana Pancakes]

they don't really care, they ban a handful but not too much.
if you think how many bots pay membership they don't want to stop the inflow.

[Cwmbran]

The economy would crash if bots were removed. Plus they rake in the money from membership for them bots, and they have even given an option for users to buy back their previous banned accounts which have been botted on.

[Kyle]

They do care.

A new skill 'Bot Hunting' has been thought about. It looks interesting.

lol... it's not a skill, it's an activity that only wbms take part in. If I see a bot I will report it as I pass but going out of your way to look for and trap bots just to report them is really lame...

One thing you might want to think about. If Jagex didn't care about micros, (cheaters). Then I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be against the rules to do so. Think about it, they placed that rule, not for us, for them. If they done it for our sake, then please, use failure as much as possible... Because they are still there. But that's not the case. It's their rules, and rules they placed...

Plus with this roll back, it's not a solution. They are attempting different ways and possibilities to get rid of micros. Which should be a good thing, at least they are trying. Also, what is with the, they need to get their heads out of the gutter... All they have done for us, is read our feedback, most of the time, and done what was requested by a lot of players. Only because one may dislike, doesn't make it a failure, or lame. People are allowed to dislike stuff, but some words are over used in some matters, don't you think?

I'll take some off that back actually, because not all updates were user requested. But all my other points are still valid.

In my view it's jagex's fault, if they gave a crap they'd ban bots like they did in the past rather than reset them. People don't seem to care if they get reset, if they were to bot 10k magic logs then get reset, who cares? they still made cash. Jagex are apparently taking earned cash off these bot accounts but lets be honest, it doesn't take someone with a high IQ to trade there earned runescape gold onto another account on a daily basis. Jagex need to get there head out of their asses. Yes, they're making money and that's their main goal, but they won't be for much longer if they don't sort this problem out as soon as possible.

jagex sometimes remove what they think the person botting has made

so if you fished like 10k rocktails or something botting and got reset then there's a chance you'll lose all them rocktails or a chance you'll lose the money you sold them for or something like that.

Don't think it happens much though

@ Guy above

People only agreed with bots being reset for their personal benefit.

One thing you might want to think about. If Jagex didn't care about macros, (cheaters). Then I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be against the rules to do so. Think about it, they placed that rule, not for us, for them. If they done it for our sake, then please, use failure as much as possible... Because they are still there. But that's not the case.

oops LMAO.

@ the person who said its jagex don't know if it's a bot or not. In the vast vast majority of cases it is extremely easy to spot a bot.

There are hundreds of thousands of people playing at a time, jagex don't go patrolling to search for bots... Sure, a mod might see one while doing something in game, but they don't actively look for them.
Which is why you should report them. The report will at least flag the account up and Jagex will look into it... In theory, but they probably get lots of reports too.
Bots, as far as I'm aware can't be detected by jagex automatically

[Thomas]

i think there are to many bots to even though i am one of them i have been botting for a long time and suddenly since the free trade came back loads of bots (mainly gold farmers) have started up. Also people have found out how easy it is to bot so any one can do it really.

i think they should do something about it as long as it doesn't affect me (A)

you are correct they cannot be detected very easily, in fact bots are getting such good anti bans they may become unstoppable. I do make bot scripts for p******* and its really easy to make it looks human like and some of the more advance stuff that is possible makes it hard to find, you also find auto responders built in the bots which are smart until you get into full confiscation then it messes up and you can tell its a bot.

Basically bots are getting harder to detect for jagex every day.
