Alt1 should be banned! Y/N?
Quick find code: 185-186-147-66227242
Hi Jimeous, welcome to the thread.
"Guides" (I'm not sure Alt-1 falls into this category, but I'll say it does to avoid semantics) can be both helpful and harmful for video games, depending on how they are used.
They're not the same so I wouldn't propose that. Using their website is 'the lesser of two evils' but I personally wouldn't use / support them. What's wrong with using Youtube or the Wiki? Again, this comes down to manual vs assisted vs automatic solving. Alt-1 is auto.
'Playing the game' is more than you just physically clicking. We're tasked with processing information. Alt-1 takes that away and replaces it with whack-a-mole clickable on-screen indicators. If it can be used for clues, it can (and will) be used for other things. No bueno!
There are way too many things at play to be certain of that. This is speculation but I'd assume prices would change a fair bit if fewer caskets were being found thanks to Alt-1. That said, it's not really a concern I have, everything is relative. The issue I had, regarding 'that' was you can make way more money letting a script (alt1) do the heavy lifting, more than any guide could.
And by 'guide' I mean anything that teaches you. Bob says:

ALT-1's website has a Clue Solver where you just need to paste Screenshots to, so you don't need to install ALT-1 for it.
Which means you will also propose banning using sites like was done in the past for anyone that used Quest Guides, heck AFK-ing was once bannable.

ALT-1 doesn't play Runescape for you...
So whether you install ALT-1, use ALT-1's Website or use other Websites for solving clues, all of those methods require a person to actively interact with RS3.

If any of those methods had a major affect on Clue Drops then the prices would be way cheaper BUT, Clue Drops are random and most people don't like doing them so prices are stable and the rares tend to be very high.

WOW!, you think Alt 1 is cheating? OSbuddy(former bot script devs made it and it's P2W, yes arround 5$ a month, then Runelite was designed and its features are free. Not to mention that special attack bar activator beside map, yes, not an overlay....
Alt 1 is an automatic 'guide' and btw that clip is wrong, it's way faster than that if you click the ends of the squares in a row, they will all slide at once instead of clicking each tile to go same way. each slider 20 seconds or less.
Also Runelite clue solver, also displays which tile to dig while your idk...1 mile away? lol gotta love these overlays that can detect one tile, you can't even render yet.
I think alt 1 is safe from being 'un-allowed', we all know 85% of OSRS will be upset if those clients are banned, ban one, have to ban all.
jagex is sadly check mate on this issue, but honestly not really an issue. Clue scroll markets are high even with people using alt1 to speed them up.
Unless your sitting on 15+ dyes and hoping for them to increase in price further via alt 1 being banned, i see no benefit to anyone. clues with alt1 only profit 4-20million an hour if really lucky. you also have to account for the time gaining said clues, so now that number is less.

Jagex trusted and allowed a former bot dev team to design OSbuddy(monthly fees for the OP features), i trust alt 1 dev for trying to make the game better, it was started with DG Key which marked dungeoneering key doors for faster floors.
Don't want to use Alt 1, that is your loss. I'v made billions using it. clues wouldn't even be worth my time without it. I would yes, continue to do them but to chain a stack of 50 over and over, no. maybe 50 here and there depending how high clue items skyrocket.
