srry but the system is failing. Try to get 1 J Mod to run the matser farmer in any world and he will find many. I would suggest you take 1 Jmod and world swap 1 spot like master farmer in all worlds then next day do same with lets say nat shrine and so on. You will find it real bad. other day i counted over 15 bots on master farmer in 1 world this is pathetic. deal with this before ruining old school with updates as 07/oldschool needs to be kept as it was in 07. thank you


Well, you've given the system 1 hour to solve all the problems. Like I said, this will take time to roll out fully across all bots.

Guys, it's not going to be the case that all bots will suddenly disappear. We'll be rolling the system out slowly across Gielinor, checking everything as we do so. Once it is all up and running I hope you see a significant difference. Please do keep us informed about how you are finding things.


So far so good, but I do see many of the 'friends' I've added seem to be as of yet unaffected by this. Hopefully they start showing up on world 85 and 86 as will their newly minted replacement crews. ;)

Aside from reporting the bots we discover in game via the report abuse feature, as I'm sure those reports are being used as a part of this new program, how best to keep you informed?
Ha ha, made you look ;)

I've been wondering, can't the bot just check what world it's in, and if it sees that it's in world 385 or 386 it could just hop back to the world it was in.

Mod Mat K said it would be sent back to world 385/386 again if it attempts to hop back, so doesn't that mean that a normal user would be sent back there aswell if he/she tries to hop? If a real user wouldn't be sent back for some reason there would be no reason to have these bot worlds in the first place since you can just check who's getting flagged for botting twice.

I honestly believe it's time to put something in place to stop people using auto typers/merch bots.
You sit here debating that GE wouldn't go down well with players because they want player interaction, But standing in world 1, looking for a specific item for an hour and not being able to find a seller because there's so much spam really isn't appealing to anyone**
** would benefit us all and get rid of merch bots, there would still be plenty of interaction.

Either that or do what others have said, let us police worlds or employ 2-3 staff on minimum wage to go around banning people. I'm starting to not enjoy my time playing.

What exactly do you need from us? Do we need to tell you what is being botted? I got a whole list, if that's what you mean.

If a bot leaves the bot world instantly, that will be even more proof that it was actually a bot. Your average player would not be able to notice and log out *instantly* after being switched. :)

You will be able to tell if you get sent to one of the bot worlds as the same players wouldn't be there and NPC's would change location etc. Seeing as normal players aren't supposed to be there it isn't unlikely that a normal player would just go back to the world he/she was in.

Still wondering if this new system will stop runite bots. Runite items account for a HUGE amount of GP coming into the game. Not to say thats a bad thing, but it could be in the future. If i had to guess, there are only around 200-250 legit 85+ miners based off of how many bots I have seen.
