Want to really get rid of bots ? Every game card should have a valid bank card associated with it for verification....caught botting...that associated bank card and account is no longer usable. No money has to come out of the bank card, just a validation of a real person to take responsibility.
I like the thought of this. It won't solve the whole problem but I think this is something that WILL significantly reduce the amount of bots (something that Jagex stated to do in September 2012). If they could block certain bank account numbers that have been known to have payed membership for bots it will have a great effect, I think. If this is not the case, at least they tried something new to solve this problem.
In my opinion Jagex needs to listen more to their real players that love this game. There really are some great ideas out there on how to get rid of this big big problem. Some of them need to be worked out more precisely, but Hey it's a start right?! At least they (Jagex) could give some of these ideas a try, because it doesn't seem like the measures they take have an effect of some kind. Like many players have mentioned before, the botters are coming back faster than Jagex is banning/can ban them.
Jmods please take some of the ideas mentioned in this an otter threads regarding bots in consideration. Many players have shown their will to contribute to a solution for this problem.
Something positive: I like the EoC update, it gives more dimension to killing monsters and such. There have been much updates regarding new game content which I find a good thing.
But I think it won't be a bad idea to get some people that have been busy with the developing of new content to think of new ways to fight the bots.
Hope to hear something from you guys at Jagex!
Kind regards,
