swat, read before you assume please. they are moved to this world and monitored if they are deemed bots they are banned if not they go on with their lives. while some bots might get past this monitor for a bit it will work it's way to less bots overall and a happier runescape. these new worlds provide 2 things, and area for them to put bots/real people that look to be botting without hurting the real people, and second gives them an easier time to monitor these people for botting.

Actually curious to when this anti bot software will be put into use at Red Chinchompas. I went through most worlds and there were at least 6 bots in each world. One world had 11. Now I know this anti bot will take time to roll out everywhere, but why hasn't it been introduced to the red chin bots yet? I only know it hasn't cause i logged into the bot worlds and it was empty there. I feel like red chins should be one of the first places bots should be cleaned up as it cuts down hunter xp and the red chin economy is ruined. It is easily in the top 3 most botted things in this game. Is there a time frame for when we can expect this to be introduced?

I might pause my quest for 200m hunter xp until it's at least somewhat cleaned up, because right now hunting there is almost impossible.

Hey, I have been looking at the red chin spots daily aswell. We have to report as many bots as we can there so the software can recognize it as a botting hotspot. In the meanwhile I suggest that if you want to hunt you can do it on world 85/86.

Sounds good, but a workaround to avoid the world should be easy to script. After all, the server you're exchanging packets with changes. From my point of view, this is not what you need for bot extermination in the long run. Of course, it should get rid of today's invaders.

Hmm... after reading the Jmod reply from page 1, it seems that I'm wrong. If a bot is caught, it's sent to the world. So hopping won't matter because the bot is identifiable. Seems like I was wrong.

Now that I've been illuminated, I can say that this system seems like it'll do the job, like Bot Watch did for RS3.

It's funny how legit hunters are now running to the bot worlds to escape bots. First open world I've had in a week! :)
