Alt1 should be banned! Y/N?
Quick find code: 185-186-147-66227242
I agree Alt1 is helpful (in gaining a competitive advantage) over those that don't use it (whether it be through choice, integrity or acc security concerns of using third-party software, or that they're simply unaware of it's existence). The reason(s) for wanting it banned isn't simply because we dislike it, it's because it goes against Runescape ethos and game rules. clickable 'next move' indicators are not allowed.
" ‘botting.' It means using software or hardware that can help you play the game with the software or hardware doing things for you that you should be doing yourself. Our games are meant to be played by humans"
Is this how the game was intented to be played? if this technology is fine to use then what is stopping people making the same 'next click' overlays for bossing or pvp? It's cheating.
"Play the game yourself, making sure you are in control of everything."
"We consider features which enable you to bypass gameplay mechanics to be unacceptable, like those which might indicate where projectiles would land, where NPCs might spawn, or which protection prayers to activate."
Some feel that as long as it doesn't use an auto-clicker then its fine, but that's hardly worth mentioning, as clicking alone is not how you play this game. Would you play a game of chess against somebody that had 'next move' indicators, where all they had to do was click where a computer script told them to?

If this did go against the rules, it wouldve been banned already.
Yet jagex havent done a thing about it.
Well, gambling was rife for months and nothing was done about that. Didn't make it OK. People on the forums argued it's their money and they could do as they please with it.
They werent concerned about any long-term implications then, and they aren't concerned about any now. It's a similar story just written a different way, although not quite as bad.
I wouldn't assume just because they haven't done anything about it (yet) that they condone it. They don't advertise Alt1 anywhere in-game or on the website. They do with Wiki and YT.

Do we have to yet again prove that this isnt botting? How many times do you have to be told this isnt equal to botting?
Maybe the same amount of times you need to be told that Alt1 is nothing like Wiki guides or Youtube. Wiki & YT teach you how to solve things (you learn something), Alt1 does not teach you anything, it just does it for you with on-screen indicators that you simply click on.
