the problem : older accounts run out of milestones to keep going making the point of the grind -pointless.
so here I have 3 suggestions that would be appealing.
first, reincarnation. once a player reaches lvl 99 combat stats, they can reincarnate their whole account back to lvl 3 (including non combat skills) in exchange he can raise the cap on his max lvl by 1 (for 1 skill per reincarnation) for every time he reincarnates. so he can now get 100 strength. Or you can do it as a global event once a year that everyone that has maxed stats can signup their account. This rewards old players and gives new players a chance to catch up.
second, immortalise the existing hiscores separately and then start restarting hiscores board every year so that new players have a chance to have fun.
third, I have a solution for your bots problem. you need to make the bots a part of the game or contribute to the ecosystem. one way this can be done is to change the currency to a cryptocurrency so that real world trading supports runescape players who make runescape a lifestyle. If all the bots suddenly make the game better and even the farmers would benefit. everyone wins. Make your weaknesses into a strength.
