Because I don't feel like scrolling through 74 pages to see if this has already been asked, are there any plans to improve the Botwatch system? On the release of Botany Bay, with Botwatch, it was announced that it would be capable of "learning" who is a bot and who isn't by simply observing the behavior that the account performs. Clearly, this isn't the case, though, as one can go to just about any English-speaking world and see legions of bots at areas where money making is plausible, from the Living Rock Caverns(on both worlds 77 and 84, but especially on the latter) to Mature Grotworms, Blue Dragons, and I've even observed some running through Ardy (for whatever reason) while doing Spice Stall daily challenges.
The bots are blatantly obvious, too, as they all typically have a skill level of around 400-600 and are in areas designed for end-game skilling, or they have 200 cb with 400-600 total. I've also observed a lot of personal bots get broken in the LRC, for some reason, and they do nothing but run between two fishing spot locations for a few minutes until they eventually get fixed by a spawning Rocktail Shoal.
Reporting the blatantly obvious gold-farming bots seems to have no effect(I've observed one in particular that runs around with a Lucky D Plate, and I've reported this particular bot several times to no avail), though I have noticed that the personal bots tend to get banned.
