As I said on p79 already, I think you should change your strategy regarding the public handling of the bot issue.

To regain trust of your playership start with bot raids until your technical solution is fully set up and really working. Even if it wouldn't really reduce the number of bots, it would set a sign to legit players and botters as well. It would better morale and reduce frustration.
Be more consequent - an account catched botting shouldn't get warnings, it should be banned right away. The player behind can still start out on a new one if he really wants to play, not to bot the game. But most will be farming bots anyways, being lenient with them makes no sense at all.

Don't say you don't have the ressources for frequent bot raids - I'd rather miss out on some new updates (no average player can catch up with all the new stuff anyways) and see some places cleaned and playable again for at least a short time than having to wait for a final solution somewhen in the far future.

It is better to *see* you doing something, even if it has little effect, than to *hear* about you are fighting bots while the game reality we have to experience tells something completely different.

Best regards,
Mace

"Just yesterday we banned a large number of bot users, including a number of maximum level players."

You might want to rephrase that, because right now, the way I read it at least, it says that bots on RS actually live to see max level before they finally get banned. I've seen proof of this personally so it doesn't come as a surprise to me but... just so you know, it looks a bit silly in a post where you want to reflect quite the opposite.
Be the change you would like to see in the world.

Not good enough. Stop with the stupid gimmicks and wheel/solomon promotions. I refuse to play the game until the fundamentals are much better. Look at it this way the only people left playing these days are bots, people who go to flower games, people so massively addicted they cant stop, or people who are paid to play(People who get youtube revenue). Your casual gamer is now few and far between. Id put free trade back up to a vote. Just run with it and see what happens.

I counted 72 bots at brutal greens just yesterday!!! But thanks for the chuckle!! Oh and Flutty3 is still actively botting even tho the player has been reported many, many many, times. When you cast teleother on someone and they stand there for 20 mins...shouldn't that be a clue?? I have a grotworm task that I can't get finished because the grotworm lair is so infested with bots. I understand why too considering the drop rate of rune from grotworms and ease of killing them. *sigh* I'm ready to give up.
