"A new year has dawned and 2012 fades into the past, however our resolve against botters and those who would use exploits to gain an unfair advantage over others has never wavered."

If i didn't know any better, I'd say that nothing has been done at all.

"As part of our ongoing war on botting, we continue to take action against those confirmed to be using a bot script. Just yesterday we banned a large number of bot users, including a number of maximum level players."

What action? Grotworms are still infested with bots!

"We want to reconfirm our commitment to the RuneScape community that we are taking steps every day to rid RuneScape of any and all bots. Nobody i* exempt from this, whether it’s a fresh account or a paying maxed-out player."

Absolutely no one is exempt...except those who get away with it.

"Ultimately those who use bot scripts and abuse exploits are harmful toward the economy of RuneScape, and are not the type of individuals that we want as part of our community."

At least you understand that battling certain monsters has now become impossible. Brutal green dragons and Grotworms are 100% botted now. This is why you are losing paying players!

Only question(s) would be why are the players exempt from a name & shame this time, all cheats are equally bad and so should receive the same treatment as those from the last homepage post like this.

Also as always anyone with subscribers on Youtube also seems exempt from punishment despite blatantly abusing a POP bug.. Sigh..

P.S. Please start to fulfill the promise made to us when trade restrictions where lifted and ban the bulk of bots from the game, the current state of affairs just isn't acceptable, i voted AGAINST free trade knowing exactly this situation would arise, please get it sorted or you'll only keep losing your valued players.

Of course removing free trade would pretty much lose you any hosts, but who really gives a crap if they disappear ;)

Onward's and upwards, it's time to fulfill this promise...

@ YOLOthugSWAG: after a 2-week ban you get a perm ban if you get caught botting again, right?

But yeah: botting is getting more and more out of hand now. Like MR PR1NCE said: mature grotworms and brutal green dragons are absolutely impossible to fight anymore. Mithril dragons are getting harder too.
A minor nuisance but also funny to see: since many monsters aren't agressive anymore, bots now run around and pick up all the loot that others leave behind. At least those guys don't make it impossible for you to fight anymore. Still they do affect the economy.

W00T!! U GO JAGEX!! Stop the bots!! Join my Fc for antibotters and bot hunting!!

Join my FC and have good hunting!! To agonize over the past cripples our thoughts of the future. Do not procrastinate for fear of what might have been, or what might become. Your choices define you - you must learn to live with them all, good and bad. To do anything else would make you a poor World Guardian.

For those that dont know when you report someone for botting you dont actually report that "person" youre reporting an area that bots are present... Once jagex gets so many reports a Pmod is supposed to check the area and make decisions once he/she is there.

Yeah, you'd thinks so. If you go to Grotworms, you won't see a JMod in sight.
