As botwatch is method to combat bots is there any point in bothering reporting bots.If the area they are in isnt under scrutiny of botwatch I guess nothing gets done.Seems that way as several people (myself included) seem to report the same bot day in day out and nothing is getting done.
Also once a area is cleared does botwatch continue to work there or is it a case that the bots and botwatch will be running around in circles for eternity?
Bot nuke was better,why wasnt (isnt) something similar done now.
Botwatch is months old and it only seems to move bots to different areas .
Instant bans for botting , not 2 weeks is what most people I know think should happen.
Why are jagex being nice to people that have lost them thousands of players and therefore $ ?.

In one of the livestreams, they said reports are aggregated. If there's an area that's getting a lot of bot reports, they start figuring out how to apply botwatch to that area.

So if there's an area you want cleaned up, report a lot of bots there, get your friends to report a lot of bots there, then (of course) wait.

As for "nukes," it's an arms race which the bot makers will always win. Jagex worked for a year on the nuke. Bots were back in 3 months. That's why Jagex switched from a prevention approach to a detection approach. The success rate of their detection at the moment is another topic, though.

Check dates on my previous posts in this thread... Yohotsu (bot) is still at warped torts on w99. He is there 24/7 (unless banking) and I've reported him so many times yohotsu has to be the most reported bot in RS history. How can Jagmods expect any of us to take your comments seriously about how you are dealing with the bot issue when my history with yohotsu is a prime example of your failure to deal with a bot that has been reported in game, complained about to the billing dept in private messages from me and also reported in this thread several times in the past week? Do you mods even read these threads after posting your nonsense? I have serious doubts... Welcome to BotScape! Guess we either get used to it or find a new game to play. Sad...

Dear: To whom this may concern:

Ive just came back into playing this game after about 5or 6 years and Ive always loved it, but now things have changed for the worse, i love the new updates don't get me wrong, but i cant go to make money in the game without seeing a bot, and not just 1 or 2, im talking 5 to 10 of them. With everyone botting its messing up the grand exchange real players cant sell what they need as fast, and prices get screwed up because of constant massive flow of botted wood, fish, dragon hide , anything really that a player can profit from, its messing up the suplly and demand in the game.. i mean even today i go to a dungeon and try to get blue d hides to later on tan, and there's 15 level 200s just in there wear the exact same Armour!!!, and noone talks they all wear dragon full helm, granite pl8 i want to say and d legs with a whip and anti fire sheild, and there level 200 but all of them show there totall skill and there in the 500s... and i even report them and nothing happens now i stayed there and hopped into different worlds, such as England to east coast and west coast united states, i understand not every bot can be stopped, but when there's starting to become more bots than actual players it just makes me wish it was still 2006, i love this game to death ive been playing for 10 years almost, it feels like a long time of investing my time and money for so long into a game that a lot of people feel is going down hill, please can someone please tell me whats going on about this i don't wanna see this game lose anymore actual players, ive got a lot of ideas i would like to share to someone who can do something,

sincerely:

Erm, there's a bot i've reported for months now. Ottowishman at ganodermic beasts. 900 total. In mystic and welfare performing the exact same thing over and over. He does not kill ganos like any normal player. He uses a known bot method, last time I was there he was still going. Reported him for 100+ times and nothing has happened. Nothing.

Saw a thread on massive bots being banned, I'll go see if this particular bot is there later.
