This is quite a refreshing thread, very nice to see so many replies. I've been enjoying the eoc a lot and have enjoyed many of the updates of 2012. I don't mind micro transactions as long as it doesn't give a large ingame benefit.
I know the bot issue has been mentioned thousands of times, but i'm still concerned about it. Does Jagex know where the bots are? Recently players found out that the QBD is being botted, and soon a glacor script will be out as well. This is very upsetting as it will ruin prices for high level content people have aimed for for a very long time, not to mention just the idea of high level bosses being botted is disgusting. Just look at what happened at mithril dragons. The dragon full helm lost 95% of its value from being botted for 2 months. Also kbd has bots now, all of that effort into reworking him and its just benefiting gold farmers is pretty sad.
Is Jagex aware that at this very moment there are bots farming the Queen Black Dragon? Why can't they just go in and ban these bots? I'm sure they are quite high level and it's not like they can just come right back like the hoardes of low level bots. It's one thing to allow grotworms to be infested for so long but high level bosses as well? This is the most uneasy i've felt about Runescape in all of my 11 years.
Please, remove free trade. Improve the g.e.'s price updating and then remove free trade, I and many other reasonable long time players agree that it would be the best option for now.
