If you rely on Alt 1 you don't deserve the rewards
Correction: you don't deserve the EXTRA rewards the program grants...

Jokes aside, would it not be better to suggest they make parts of the clue puzzle easier? for those that struggle? if the puzzle skip tickets aren't enough that is. We can all solve them, some faster than others, and that's fine. Be patient and play the game the way it was intended and quit looking for short-cuts. As soon as Alt-1 becomes 'the norm' people will be looking for the next short-cut. It's a slippery slope! Ya never know, the new Launcher may include it. Bob says:

Id say if ppl rely on YT/wiki they dont deserve any rewards either.

Nope if anything, the rs3 mods should take a page out of the osrs mods books and add some of the programs of alt1 to the rs3 client.

Thus the ppl who want to use it can and you lot dont have to cry about it being 3rd party anymore.

You only have to watch/read a guide on how to solve clues a few times and then you can solve them by yourself. Alt-1 being used for each and every clue people 'solve' : different.

" Thus the ppl who want to use it can and you lot dont have to cry about it being 3rd party anymore. The issue isn't about it being third-party, it's about how it operates. I think you've been missing the point these past few months as you keep repeating what has already been responded to.
Runelite is just as bad (if not worse from what I've been told) but this thread is about Alt-1.

This thread is more about Alt1's possible uses and the ways they're too harmful to the game to make it something players should be allowed to use. Thanks Mel, I'm glad someone gets it.


How is this not considered game-altering? If you type Alt-1 into Google, the suggested queries are a sign of what people think of Alt-1. "Is Alt-1 allowed", "Is Alt-1 bannable", it's clearly a concern. Can we say the same for Youtube and Wiki? (rhetorical question btw).

Mel 624 said :
we need to talk about the ways it can be improved to reduce people's reliance on external sources to complete them. That's the core of why so many people either depend on Alt1 to solve them or feel they're too much of a waste of time to bother with. Agreed. I'm all for them reworking clue puzzles, if they feel that will deter script-use. Bob says:

@Mel 624, They are 100% comparable in bias terms, disallowing a minor overlay in rs3 and allowing a 'questionable' non overlay in OSRS would be massive bias, which i am a strict activist against such.

allow both, or ban both. is the only legit option.

Also, how do i know those in favour of this 'banning of alt 1" don't have 20+ dyes in their bank, knowing they will rise when less do clue scrolls + Less being done per hour?

Alt 1 is free, anyone can use it, It's not Pay 2 Win. Forgot to mention OSbuddy is P2W(another OSRS OP client) and was designed by an X-bot making company. RuneLite was designed to give those who didn't want to pay for OSbuddy.

Again with the calculator, you have a math test, your 'allowed to use it', your also 'allowed to do it in your head/on paper' but you have a time limit. To use OR to not use tools you have access to, is ones choice. It's technology.

Only pros to removal of alt 1 is funding the merchants, which i don't support. i'm still waiting for the day all rares crash, and i'm going to laugh my head off. Price manipulation punishment at it's finest hour

Lets use my strongest gift, designing what happens next after ones choice:

-Jagex will be biased like the rest of the world, allow RL, ban Alt 1

-If they shutdown site of alt 1, i'm sure 5+ people have that site fully copied and the software already downloaded

-^Say that wasn't possible, many puzzle solvers online exist, have to manually upload pictures and input numbers.

-combating this won't be worth Jagex's time TBH, if they were smart, yes i don't think so sadly after what i witness. Design a timer that can find a puzzle being done too fast and nerf the reward....

-^but....that has one fetal flaw, what if someone did the towers puzzle on paper given design flaws. What is someone did legitly do one that fast, they would be punished for being good.

-View players screens to view overlays, now you have privacy lawsuits on your hands.

Best to fix other issues..
