(Quoting Jagex) Your feedback is - as always - the driving force of our development, so we’ve also been keeping a close eye on your requests and ideas in the forums. As part of this update we’ve added in several of your most-requested features... (Unquote Jagex).

Sure. Any number would have served your purpose 2 or 2000 or 20,000 or even 200,000. Blue dragon bots seem to remain healthy in their little botting uniforms.

Liars. That is all Jagex does. And as we have all come to realize over the years, Jagex lies the most of any of the game companies.

I'm not sure where to put this but would like a mod to see this. I recently had a botter in my clan who has just been removed from it, he has over 2,000,000,000xp and claims to be in the top 100 players. As such I think it is important this botter is addressed, his name is tp0d as of this moment and his character used the exact same 3 spots to stand on and pause on his way to the bank in LRC. Also, during a 3 hour period my clan mates made many attempts to speak with him, and got no response. and i tried to speak with him in public while following him and recieved no response.

Following his removal from my clan he sent 2 of his friends into my clan chat to defend him as a non botter, and they both, like him were insulting and rude. all 3 have been banned from my clan chat but i feel like this needs to be addressed by a Mod.

Thank you

We recently introduced the next phase of our anti-bot technology Botwatch, and it's already showing its teeth in the battle against botting activity in RuneScape. Last night alone, we conducted a mass ban of no less than 20,000 gold farming accounts - all members - in addition to a huge number of free-to-play and trial accounts used for the same purpose.

This is a huge blow against gold farming, and you should see the difference in game right away. These new anti-bot systems aren’t limited to gold farmers, however - users of 3rd party clients and botting software are also being aggressively targeted by the newly updated Botwatch.

Of course, this is just one victory in the ongoing war against botting. Our zero-tolerance policy stands, and we won't rest while botting and gold-farming spoils your game. It's an ever-evolving race, but with continued hard work and the support of the community, we'll stay well ahead of the game. We're already working on the next phase of anti-bot tech, which we're looking forward to rolling out over the coming months.

The RuneScape Team

Is someone in the botwatch room sleeping? Wake them up. THe last paragraph....read the last paragraph. Whats it say? Zero what? And what's phase two? Oh, is it a trick to get all the bots to come out at the same time then kill them? Idk what the next phase entails but someone better wake up and enact it fast cause we're blank deep in bots. Good work, carry on.

Is Botwatch still running......not very effective if it is. Been grotworms lately? Blue dragons? Green dragons? All the usual places on just about every member world. You need BotBuster Players. That would be far more effective. Your Botwatch program is a failure.

These are what i find Botting Dragons of any value
I report a lot of bots and have noticed that most of them are equipped with a

dragon helm granite platebody dragon platelegs/skirt and have either a dragon fire shield or a anti-fire shield they also use a dragon weapon(scimitar or longsword) or a abyssal whip.

But i cannot say that this is people who wear these are always a bot but i find most of them are.

I hope this Information helps somewhat. ^_^

I think you guys are really wasting time. Script writers and programmers will always step there script writing game up and you will have an endless struggle addressing the issue. I do not support Gold farming. But maybe bots should be reconsidered for the game in general. It is a very monotonous game to skill and it completely rips the entertainment away from it. The only people that introduced bots to the game are the ones that really appreciated it's creation to spend valuable time designing programs to play it. It would be a nice revolution if RS supported freestyle script writers and bot designers directly on your site. It might actually get the a game a new experience. You guys are very bum and unrealistic to think that a normal person would spend hours - years on this game, playing endlessly to get a good experience at the end and eventually get bored. Gold farmers would also lose business if every player was able to bot freely. The only feature that might need to be considered is limiting the amount of accounts one person can create by doing email checks. Other than that your spending too much time trying to keep this game together. As an experienced player, I can easily suggest other F2p games that will demolish runescape for good.
