Yep, there is a large, obvious downside with free trade, but at least a clear majority of the players honestly WANTED that (unlike SoF, Solomon's store and EoC ...)
1. Just go in the Ancient Cavern and then say there are banned bots again!
2. We all know that the us and a company just want money so the never allowed
Jagex to ban all the bots and i bet that is possible.
3. Still 97k people online ok it is weekend but after the nuke it was just around 40-50k so this "ban" action is just a new "fake" so that we think someone is do something!
There never come a new nuke because the first one was just clean the system for the new investors now they are in so Jagex is now in devils hand!
dude banning bot in F2p is alot harder for them cause anyone can make multiple accounts and bot them all but P2p they are working on because for one P2p players should be the first for a mass bot ban cause we PAY to have no less then the best gaming experience while F2p is for anyone and everyone. For two, cut Jagex some slack they are trying to sort out the bots out of over 200million players and its only been a few days plus I've seen less bots in GE in some worlds so come on people their trying...
I have relatively low stats but I mined my ass off at LRC to get 99. I didn't make conversation and made constant repetitive movements. I was probably reported as a bot numerous times.
There needs to be a system in place that can detect bots more quickly, they're appearing faster than Jagex is clearing them and it's getting worse. Grotworm lair. Grotworms are awesome to train on. There is currently 2-3 bots per every mature grotworm spawn and it is IMPOSSIBLE to kill one yourself especially since the EOC when you need to be the first player to attack it. I've been in the grotworm lair for 2 days and have managed to obtain 8 drops from the monsters. In two days.
It's damn near impossible to do anything anymore. It's becoming a bot's game, not ours.
Thank you for your efforts. Cleansing distinct areas one at a time so that progress can be monitored may be the only way you can accomplish your work. As others have said, high level training areas are in need of de-botting. If you can, push them up in the priority list.
