So...just how do you report a bot then? I tried just last weekend by pressing the report button, but, since a bot is not very conversational, it's not possible to select it (IT, folks, not he, not she, just IT, a bot is a THING...) - so, some clarity on reporting bots, please, thanks

And, well done Jagex. Just annoying to see these things around while we players struggle to get by...

Went and checked the popular botting areas, no less bots in them, as expected.

@Hannes E N: Funny, because when I went to the LRC, there was a HUGE decrease in "players", not to mention no lag at all. Similarly, grotworms have had a lot less activity. And for that matter, I haven't seen anyone at the Slayer Tower, Catherby, or Kuradal's Dungeon.

A suggestion to end the bots if I may.

- Stop giving bots free membership for 14 days.
- End $2 membership on first month to new bots.

I recall a time when membership was a benefit to avoid botters. Now the same bots we see running rampant on every tree and resource of F2P have expanded to also include P2P.

We all had to move back to 2003 and 2007 version of the game just to get away from their kind.

And on that note, Bot Watch should check "world 1" of "RuneScape Classic" for bots in mining guild.

Every month I log on to clear my friend list because max is only 200 and that version is the fastest way to clear all names. I see the same bots each time just mining to 200m XP. I know they're bots because they ALL move at the same exact time and ALL try mining the exact same rock even though only 1-2 of them get the ore. Seen the same names mining every time I log in.
