Jagex is losing the war against bots. As long as there are players who feel actually playing the game they pay for is a waste of time and decide to cheat or buy gp/xp instead, this game will continue to suffer.
Why pay for a game you don't actually play? Why make an account in a game you are not playing? Do you enjoy watching a game run on auto and play itself so much?
And stop with the "It takes soooo long because of the grind to level up, so I must cheat" attitude. This game was always a grind. They have added updates to reduce the grind, but if you don't like grind then don't play. This game was created with grind in mind.
I am tired of being told to leave if I don't like the game. Well, right back at you. If you don't like playing the game as it was meant to be played, then leave so that people who want to play can play without all the bots/cheaters ruining it.
I never understood why people let a computer program play the game for them. What is the point in that?
Yes there are many things you can't do unless you work for the level to do it. But that is how the game was created in order to never have an actual ending.
This is not a game to "beat" per se. This is a game to advance and keep playing as you get higher. I understand it takes a while to be able to do certain things or to get enough gp to buy stuff, but that is how it is in this game.
What is the point in bragging that you cheated and got 99s in all skills? Whoop ti do. This game is a game to advance and enjoy. Combat wasn't the only aspect.
With all the xp/gp being thrown at us, how can anyone say they can't train?
I don't buy my skills. I train skills to train other skills and only on very rare occasions to I need to buy a few supplies since they would take too long to get, like wine of zammy, mort fungi, or grenwall spikes. I buy armor as needed, mainly for quests. At least I did.
With the new combat in EoC, I don't see myself working on combat as little as before.
