I mean, good job with banning them and all that, but there are literally TONS of bots out there... I'm sure a lot more gold is being harvested by bots then these guys would have done. Look at dragons, ankous, living rock caverns, the sorcerers house (the bots get herbs), fishing spots, mining, woodcutting bots, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm glad these accounts were justly banned, but another bot nuke is required too. These 20 people are punished quickly and justly but what about the rest of the bots? Something must be done. The number of rs players that are bots is beginning to concern me since I can go to certain places and see the same bot for one, two, or even three months. And I know its them because I'm usually in the same world and the names have gotten familiar! It's the same people getting reported Jagex. Do something

To all the people who say Jagex influences the prices of rares.
I'd like to why you think this and why you think they would even care about what price a party hat is? It makes no sense to me so if someone could give me a good reason that'd be nice.
PS: That Squeal of Jagex you guys are running makes you look desperate even though the game has been going for 10+years with nothing but memberships fees. Good logic to keep it around and inflame all the actual players that know what runescape can and was at one time. It is obv not the sole reason for this game slowing withering but its becoming a big one.

Hello Mods And Other Helpful Players.
I've Recently Been Playing In F2P PK, Seeing If I Can Gain Any Money. And My Str Is Level 70. Somtimes When I Stepped Into The Wilderness And Drank A Str Pot. It Got Me To 99 Boosted. As Of Finding I Had 99 Str. I Did Not Abuse This, I Simply Went Offline. And Saw If It Had Worn Off. Luckily, It Has. Just Could You Look Into It ?
Many Thanks - A Guy Who Enjoys RuneScape!

Wow, am I the only person who thinks this is a joke? For Pete's sakes JAGEX act like you've done it before. Oh wait, that's right, you haven't. I'm not saying you didn't do a good job, but you got some serious issues to fix. I'd appreciate it if instead of "Dropping the BAN HAMMER" on a few bug abusers, you instead banned the thousands of bots. Implementation of Squeal of Fortune and Solomon's General Store must have created some form of revenue. Just put it towards something that your true players care about. "We have taken this step to avoid any significant inflation issues and also to keep the game fair to everyone." Guess what, it's still not fair. Not even close. Do us all a favor stop trying to fix the game by adding new content. Fix it by getting rid of the bots.
EDIT: Alright..That ^ might have been a little hostile, but I have been playing this game for a majority of my life. It just absolutely breaks my heart to see Runescape the way it is these days. The merching, luring, scamming, botting, and gp hording in this game is by far worse than anything I have ever heard of from any other games. It used to be nice escaping the the German worlds so that I could play with REAL people, but not anymore. I can't even escape the corruption. I'm hoping that this new "100% flawless system" will turn this game back into the one I fell in love with when I was just 9 years old.

To everyone ranting about not banning bots:
You should read the news more often. At the time being, Jagex is working on some new bot detection mechanism ("Optimus&quot ;) . It takes time to do it right, they want to make shure that it is failproof and only detects real botters. If they'd rush it, maybe it would detect innocent ppl or so, and they'd be filling the forum with even more whiney ranting.
To those ranting about "Jagex influencing the market":
I hope its true that they're feeding in rare items they found on the banned accounts, else the total numbers would decrease, increasing the price. And it makes sense to remove all that gold gained trough the exploit, else it would increase inflation. The exploit happened in a small time frame and removing the "unnatural" gold is the only logic measure.
This keeps the market as it was before the incident, everything ELSE would "influence" it.
And listing the banned accounts names was the right thing to do. Just telling that they removed "some cheaters" has a somewhat less "discouraging" effect on would-be cheaters than bringing up real palpable Players that where banned for abuse.

Personally I wonder why Jagex doesn't consider just bringing back the good ole captcha sleeping bags ^^ I don't know why they where removed in the first place, most probably because honest players found them annoying...
Maybe they could do a poll, like they did with the wilderness, and make the community decide if they want to accept a slight nuisance in exchange for the bots facing a real hindrance?
Anyway, thx for the effort Jagex. And all of you, enjoy the game.

PS: And never install any ****** "cheat" program, or give your ******** to a "friend" or log into anything but runescape.***. Because "account hacking" is a myth, everyone who claims it either gave away his login info, or installed some ******** sniffer by his own fault, or logged into some fake site or even private server, stupidly using the same login info.
What happens in the beta, stays in the beta
