Great posts, Dyr Gorr.

This is essentially giving bots a world for themselves.

Yes because scrunching bots from 60 worlds into 2 is really giving them something right? Less resources and exp if that is what you mean.

I think this is great. Although a better solution imo would be to simply make a part time minimum wage position where someone works 2-4 hours a day and they simply go and ban bots. There could be a day shift and a night shift, so 2 people.

Idk if there is minimum wage in uk or what it is but in u.s. 20 hours a week at minimum wage for 2 people would be just a little over $1,000 so equal to like 150 subscriptions and yet it would completely rid the BIGGEST problem in rs. Although a problem would be that they would run out of work soon, when the gold farmers are getting banned within a day it won't be worth it to make new bots, which is good for us but bad for the bot banners job, unless you keep them hired even when there are no bots.

Also I have a problem if people who botted before this update and got high levels unfairly aren't banned. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

I'm going to check out 385 right now.

Edit: Yep, bunch of WC bots.

Edit 2: Don't really see any other kind of bot. I just went into the wildy to check the green drags and nothing. SO if you want to kill green drags this would be the perfect world!

Wow sounds as if your creating a bot world to protect botters cuz they mad we keep finding ways to kill them in game.

if you really wanted to stop bots you would just ad a capcha to the random events.

So your busted Jagex

for protecting bots

shame on you

LET US KILL THE BOTS!!

give us tools to lure bots and open up the banks to random events!

you let bots harbor in safe zones inside pest control bank for example...

Let the random events do their job and dont offer a protected world for bots to gather in!

im sorry but this is an absolute VIOLATION of the trust that 07 wasnt going to pick bot membership $ over honest players...

we want to see these bots they have no right to privacy!

we demand to see the process of their elimination.

I think you are severely underestimating their systems lol ... In their post they do say they are mistaking regular players but it isn't like it is a common occurrence. I have been playing rs 9 years now, osrs since it came out, I have something around 7k total across my accounts on osrs alone, 700+ qp, 250m+ exp, and I have never been falsely banned nor ever known someone that was falsely banned for botting.

That would make it so only half the problem is getting eliminated. The other half of the problem with bots is the items they are bringing in, if you could just kill them and get their items so that they are still in the economy the problem isn't solved.

If you want to simply kill them to see them die that is a waste of Jagex time implementing something like that when they could be working on real problems. They are basically npc's, so watching a bot die for no gain is no different than watching a dragon or skeleton die. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max
