@ My Dragula: Wrong. If you actually went in-game, you would see that bots are MASSIVELY missing from the game. Also, if you visited the Web site, you would see that 500k voting will more than likely be obtained, so 2007scape will become free.

My favorite pastime and recent easy cash making of green drag bot killing has been taken away....... nooooooo

Joking, for once I see the talked about bot busting is not an apparent threat but real.

Green dragon bots have been gone from all worlds in all locations for coming up to a week. Maybe now I will kill the drags and not the bots

Lets see if it continues - but if it for real then great job. You will find the 20k accounts lost made up by players not demoralized by bots diminishing their accounts and stats and hopefully allowing the economy to allow players to make money in game from skilling again.

Now if only you can get rid of eoc, game would be perfect and i may play more again. I dont want to start a new account a redo all quests and kill cows with bronze sword - been there done that.

Heheheh sorry Ki11er pal16 I somehow doubt you'll ever see eoc gone as im sure its here to stay for good which makes me happy. Anywhoo Bot-wise doesnt the 07 server have to have 700k votes for it to be totally Bot-Free according to the 07 server thing? 500K votes is bot free possibly and 700K votes is bot-free totally? Ooo 20k bots gone thats a lot gone, but is it possible to keep them 100% gone? dont those bot sites just come up with new names and bots for the game?

Anywhoo Keep killing the bots Jagex :)

You are amazing Jagex! You manage to come up with new game events, features and quests, while at the same time continously combating these bots and gold farmer's, while taking out ever evolving bot software and always improving the game. Thank you so much!

I know you are very busy, and I don't mean to hasstle you or anything... but I was merely wondering, something. I have a question regarding the report system. I see various botters in the game on occasion in training spots and in the Grand Exchange rather often. I do report them, and I do not question whether you check those reports. I beleive you do. It is just that by the time the report is found and they are banned, the damage is usually done, and a group training day is ruined or something like that. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a system where one reports somebody for botting, and a software scannes the bot in question. If it detects botting software active on the account, it can instantly ban or log off the account ect. I may know very little about software and computer programming, but if this were possible, I beleive that it would significantly help the bot issue, as the players could assist in your bot battle, as we all see it as OUR battle, and I am sure people will agree when I say that if there were any significant thing we could do to help, we would do it.

This is simply an idea, though bots could be dispatched at extreme convienience if it were to work. Just an idea I suppose, but if it is not possible or necessary, I understand. Could you respond when convienient? Thank you Jagex for your epic job with this acheivement.

Well Done! :)

Great job, Jagex! this is huge, and i want to thank you guys for your hard work and great progress against the bots, and in the rest of the game. please continue to keep your excellent standards up! It is not wise to anger a dragon, sleeping or otherwise. For you are crunchy, and your endorphins when you flee add flavor.
