Just a quick reply to Agent B on the previous page.
If you wish us all to take you seriously, especially with numbers you have pulled outta the air...
At least work out your math before posting.
Your 6 in 24 in 148 worlds is over 28k at all time is wrong.
Simple as, its just over 21k by that logic, dont just add 7k to make the number seem bigger, its stupid.
Also, The whole reason that Jag have said they are bringing this back (By peoples votes) is because they say they have been working on the "Best bot finding" program ever made.
Have you ever thought that in those few years since the Wildy/Free trade has been removed and numbers have lessened that this could be because new games have come around, or people have grown older and got bored of RS?
There could be a great many cataylsts as to why numbers have lessened, dont ignore the rest just to fit your "All the bots stopped etc etc" charade.
Ive been away for the past couple of years trying my hand at WOW, now i divert my attention between the 2 when i have spare time, many others probably do that as well.
Also, have you ever thought of the possibility that all those that enjoyed free trade and the old wildy just because they thought it was fun and better decided to quit after the taking away of it?
I know i did, i knew loads of people that just got bored, same with other people i knew. Myself included, i enjoyed the old wildy, even though i wasn't a hardcore player, it was enjoyable, ATM though where is the fun in killing someone with 10mil of stuff on them and getting 250k? It actually ruins the economy and pushes prices for PKing equipment up.
Just because with this update another 100k players may come back, dont just ASSUME they are all bots without any facts at all.
I could just say, when the wildy was removed a gang of angry Pixies got very annoyed and kidnapped 100k players, they are due to release them in the next couple of days. There is as much truth in that, as there is in your "Hypothesis"
