Dear Jagex,

This business model is not sustainable. The community doesn't trust the development team, you've burn the bridge to loyalty, adopted money hungry tactics (which is acceptable if done correctly, because you are a company, but not when it jeopardizes the founding principles of the game.), resorted to blatant lies to then cover up those moral tweaks, and because the way you have treated players and handled bots, bots are now the backbone of your company. The problem is, when you let these bots run rampant, legitimate players notice and are deterred from the game. Once you deter enough players, the bots will begin leaving and you'll have yourself a failing company.

If I was a competing gaming company, and I wanted to destroy runescape, I would be buying a large sum of bots and would then release them into the game. You may say, let them, we'll profit from their stupidity. Except, the company out to get you probably doesn't exist and you've fallen into the trap they would've planted anyways. You're raking in the bucks for a brief year and sooner or later gone forever. Stop utilizing bots as a cash crop if you wish to sustain this once enjoyable game.

If I were to put this into a metaphor, I would say that Jagex is farmer Mark. Farmer Mark began adopting the same methods that farmers in the United States used before the Great Depression. Unfortunately those methods lead to the Dust Bowl. Right now you are in the process of creating a Dust Bowl, Jagex.

Sincerely,
A former 10 year Veteran

The game is not "Clean".
The game is not 50% "Clean".
Reporting bots has never done any good, whatsoever.
Your game updates are over come in almost no time (grotworms took 4 days).
No list=didn't happen
Tell the truth wimps. You spend all of your resources on updatates such as Dungeoneering and Evolution of Combat.
List names or it didnt happen...
Posting the ban of cheaters is a slap in the face to people who KNOW that premier, well known players abused the instant return glitch. None of these people have been banned.
Bug abuse is s'posed to be an instant ban.

i can assure you, nobody was banned. im f2p and i go into the mining guild and there are about 20 bots getting coal then i go into the dungeoneering cave spot where the runite ore is and there is always at least 2 bots there and if i go to try to get the addy close to where the deposit box is in the dungeoneer cave there is always at least 4 to 5 bots getting the addy out from under me. its totally impossible to mine anywhere in the mining guild. it really ticks me off when im trying to mine and a bot takes it from under me.

these bots were from the last 4 days that this so called "ban" happened. so obviously nothing has changed. i think jagex needs to buy there own bots and see how they work so they know what to look for. but its clear that jagex doesnt care about them because they profit from them.

Guys please get your team to walk down to the Mature GrotWorms for there are bots everywhere down there, I'm try to do a slayer task but can not due to all the bots down there, there are about 25-40 bots down there plus times that with all the world you will do a great damage to taking out the bots.
Thankyou

BOTTERS DUN 'ND GOTTEN NUKED... Yeah.... lol. Anyways I've been playin RS for 6 years and I've pretty much been infatuated with this game, since the second I started playing.... literally the first second.... and I still kinda am. ^_^ I get really discouraged when players insult the game/developers blatantly and non-constructively. Really ticks me off. Yeah, bots still exist after every nuke, but it might not be because of a Jagex conspiracy business plan in which they keep bots 'cus they make them money. It might just be because of technical reasons like maybe each different bot program needs different methods to be pointed out. Some bots aren't even bots.... I've seen many "bots" start replying to my typing spamm against bots in the mining guild (what else am I supposed to to there? And to me the bots in there are annoying, but not game-ruining since I have like 65 mining, which isn't much but I get thru with a full load of coal/mithril in like 15 mins or less). He turned out to just be a dude who was grinding with his chat on "mute all." I see ppl like that lots in there :p. Just sayin, I don't think that Jagex is doing a bad job with the bot nuking, it's just that bot programmers are probably finding ways to get around the detectors unnoticed... I could be wrong, I'm no computer scientist/engineer/technician/etc... but yeah. And alot of the community members are reallllly turnin sour these days... and ppl, if someone says "Hi," say hi back or they're gonna think you're a bot that's ruining a game, and become even more convinced that the game is dying... I saw a vid on youtube debating the "Runescape is dying" thing, and on the blogger's screen a dude said [hi :) ] to him as he was chopping ivy (I think that it was a girl actually, now that I think of it) and the dude didn't respond, so the gal just logged off and I was like, "WTH YOU INSANE VIDEO MAKER SAY HI BACK YOU IDIOT," cus he was supporting the game being good in his argument too.... Dense people. Gl &hf

Who knows just how much of my life I've given to this game. what I do know is no more will I due to updates that are turning this game away from how it started. I say bring back Andrew G. and get this game back to what it was.
