Do you mean the same heatmap that the players already built up for your fictitious botwatch implementation?

Do me a favour,if you don't know where the bots are by now there's something seriously wrong.I'll give you a hint,the same places are being botted that were being botted 10 years ago.ALL RESCOURCES....

I have to agree with this. The charade will never end when bots pay good $.

Yes, having Botwatch and other Bot removing systems would be beneficial to OSRS totally. I see a bunch of autotypers and Advertising Bots too on W2 in Oldschool, so this can solve the problemo. Also, I think it would be a good idea to hire someone to be a Bot Buster and Bug Fixer in OSRS since Mods Ash, Mat K, Reach, and John C probably have other important things to do such as major content like PvP and PvM, etc.

i am curious, do you all have the capability or more so will to make a client with a guardian system integrated into it? i know this is slightly invasive but if the eula allows only collecting botting data from ones computer and nothing else I would be in 100% support of this.

Today I have seen for myself that the roll-out is progressing - and it's great to see it working! It's certainly cheered my day and inspired me to play.

I'd like to thank the bot prevention team for their efforts and Mod Mat K for communicating to us about it.

Long term - if it continues well - it'll really create a positive community and draw many players (just like in RS3), who want a fair playing field and game integrity without bots providing fake advantages.

Please roll it out to the magic trees near seers. It's bot infested, there's even a level 92 on world 1 who has been trying to cut a tree with a broken dragon axe near the seers magics (try and spot him :) ) for 5 hours straight, and still not been noticed.... though i have made about 75k off crashed bots though.

Why not simply go to world 1, and take an hour or two to get rid of some trade bots?
Or take an hour out and hop a few worlds and ban the flesh crawler bots?

Last night I was trying to mess up a certain trade bot, didn't succeed, I just logged on to World 1 and he is still in the very same spot, spamming the very same message (Ownlx Est), there's also the line of bots who are probably ran from the same computer along the western wall outside the bank selling potions 24/7
I also kill flesh crawlers for ranged exp, fire runes and herbs, after about 3pm GMT, every damn world I hop to has at least 2 bots sitting there, usually pures with high strength that go through them pretty quick, and they literally camp there for hours on end, I often go afk and get logged out and come back to what was once a relatively empty fleshie room being full of 4 bots!

Why is it so hard and problematic to identify these bots (it would take me half an hour to build a comprehensive list of them), trace which accounts they trade many millions of coins to regularly, ban them, and finally, they are likely to be RWT'ing, so investigate accounts that get lots of gold from them for nothing/little in return

It might seem like a lot of hard work to do this regularly, and you could argue another bot will come in its place, but I don't think so.
Every time there is a ban wave/bot nuke/bot detection update, it is felt throughout botting communities (been there, done that, got the t-shirt and all the trimmings). If a bot script has a high ban rate, people warn each other not to use it, they do actually have some degree of loyalty to each other. Use this to your advantage, destroy bots one script at a time
