Congratulations Jagex on banning them but now that they have gotten away with it and sold Gp for many Irl cash they don't feel no shame nor care about there own accounts.
Im sure since these bots alredy paid for you guys they don't seem to be able to get a refund for ruining the game for others should just ban them.
+ they will just keep coming back so keep banning them off and just use the money you get from them
And give it to the investors who are making you release updates that 99.9% of the playerbase don't like.
So yall can do your regular old thing back in the old days.
Have some days where not many players are online and see it grow from there with real loyal players not people who makes money off a game.
Also advertise the game more + listen to the community.
You will accomplish more.

As I read through these posts, and read all the complaints about the gold farming bots, it amazes me that people don't understand one simple economic fact - The bots are the symptom, not the problem. At its core the problem is cheating players that buy gold. If no one bought gold, there would be no gold farmers. Every time a player buys gold, the gold must be gathered, and that means the creation of gold farming bots.
When free trade returned, I said it was going to be interesting to watch the inevitable cycle to destruction, and it has been. At first most players were rich from the non-free trade days, when it was really easy to make money. Everyone was so rich that not a lot of people bought gold. Then a few started buying it, and bots appeared. Prices got worse, and players got poorer, so more people bought gold. That in turn meant more bots, and worse prices, and poorer players, and more gold buying. In the end, the inevitable cycle leads us to poverty for most players, because players can't work as long and as hard as bots.
Can't Jagex ban the bots? They can, and do, but it's only temporary. As long as cheating players buy gold, the bots will return. Banning bots is kind of like mowing the lawn. The grass is shorter, and it looks better for a little while, but not very long because they just grow back.
What I want to see now is a weekly or monthly list of players banned for buying gold. Do that, and the bots will go away on their own.

"We have several clever and fair ways of making sure that the numbers of these rares (like party hats) remain the same."
There you have it, Jagex at the very least tries to influence the price of rares, probably have been controlled for years.
I'm happy to see that everyone close to my total has many,many more days played than me :P

Jagex would surely ensure it's highly balanced
even a simple injection as of:
The item that had been on the account would be sold in G.e, but all at market price of the item at the perticular time the recieved gp for the sold item would remain void. But the sale will still effect any recorded information of the sale for public view. It's not like Jagex is injecting items that have been willingly dropped and left to dissapear into the "Abyss", In this injection, The cheater loses out he recieves no money and has now lost the ability to play. We clearly benefit in Multiple ways.
Thumbs up to Jagex!
