"Hmm, I don't ever recall Jagex ever saying that 98% of bots will be permanently gone. All these measures that Jagex do to combat bots are temporary; there is no way to permanently get rid of bots. It's really a never ending war. The first bot nuke did get rid of most bots for a little bit. It even put one of the major bot companies out of business. However, it was only a matter of time until the bot developers found a way to get around the nuke."
Hi everyone,
As most of you know, Bot Nuke Day has been a resounding success, with 98% of bots removed from the game, and we’ve struck a crippling blow to gold farmers. The overwhelmingly positive feedback and noticeable improvement to RuneScape has been truly tremendous. In addition to the various technological measures Jagex recently implemented, many of you will be aware that Jagex has for some time been engaged in a number of legal procedures aimed at stopping bot developers and the most serious bot users. These legal procedures have been the subject of a significant amount of speculation, which we will attempt to address in this post.
Granted i never said permently but i did say gone.
"Bot Nuke Day is the culmination of a series of different measures, all designed to work together, to dramatically stamp out botting in RuneScape. The measures are all working so far; as before, we are only just getting started with a number of updates due over the next few weeks and we will continue to work hard on every front to wipe botting and gold farming out of RuneScape for good."
Where are the updates? Ive only seen jagex start now. Some minor bots where taking care of and a few so called botting "clans" recently. Id rather see action be taking up against the programmers of the bots and then the players. Banning a few accounts wont solve the bot issue like they did with the "clans" and 101 high lvl bots.
If jagex is going to post BTS keep us updated on how your going with bots is all im saying.
