Toonz unfortunately Sof is funding the game. It could use with some tuning though to make it less intrusive and less advantageous. As for gravestones idk if the entire concept needs scrapped but something needs done about them.

I do hope Jagex are linking the gold farming bots to other accounts via what trades they make and getting them too. Yesterday, Varrock east bank on w26, lvl34 standing outside and about 20+ rune essence mining bots around lvl96. They'd mine about 300 ess then trade to the lvl34, how do i know that, I stood on him and one of them traded me to give me ess, of course I didn't accept as I want nothing to do with illegal activity. Wondered if the lvl34 then passed the ess on to a main account, do hope they got banned as well. Good Work Jagex !!!

@Balustan & @ Epthelyn

My final word on this is that a solution is possible. It takes guts to put it in place. All you have to do is prevent the sale +/or transfer of value in the game (this is why farmers and bots exist). And there are many innovative ways to do this without ruining "the feel" of the game for its merchanting classes.

The reason this is a war is because they are doing exactly as you are describing... trying to "get ahead of the developers." No matter what they put in place re: detection, etc. developers will find a work around... its just a matter of time. The war will never end. So, instead, take a different path... It wouldn't be popular, but it would end the war.

Remember Bot Nuke? ROFL, yea right. "Oops, we need a different bomb now" over and over again.

Absolutely love this. I've already observed a lot of in-game improvements in this regard.

There are still some transient scripts running. However, three massive targets that earned a combined 4+ billion GP per day are absolutely gone. Fantastic.

UNlike day one of botwatch, iw as not "banned" as a legitimate player and I hope so much that you've refined this tech to identify only bots.

So happy about the progress. keep it up guys!!!

I hope that Thieving/Fletching/Cooking/Magic (especially Magic)/Runescrafting and Woodcutting bots are wiped first, they're devaluing my 99s and on top of that, I had to compete with many of them for 99s (as if a 99 alone wasn't already hard enough). If you can't be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove someone's sadness.
