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.
Nope, as mentioned in the live stream too they either have to play in that world, or keep bouncing around worlds not being able to get in.

Dear Mod Mat K,
If a regular player gets tp'd into scaperune and recognizes the transition, what's to stop them from finding a place that bots aren't present and, consequently, gaining unlimited access to a potentially limited resource in other cases, like GWD (I'm assuming instances aren't in OSRS but if they are I'm sure there's another example I'm just unaware of)?

Further more, you say a bot will have to spend time bouncing between worlds if it recognizes its quarantine. This doesn't hinder the bot at all. Of course a programmer will be able to program a detection and response method. If I were doing it I'd generate a response time function that varies when "I notice" I've been moved to the bot world and then ports back to the regular world after inputing some random response message like "lol, bot world" or "whoops, not again!" followed by silence because at some point a human player will stop think it's funny and start thinking it's ridiculous. Then how can you tell it's a bot and not a player?

One solution to both of these problems is forcing the world switch but but forcing a puzzle to be solved in order to switch back AND making all resources collected in the bot world un-transferrable so as not to contaminate the OSRS economy with botted/exploited resources.

There's easy work arounds for the current system and anyone with the intelligence to program a bot can program these work arounds in.

I find this hilarious for years you did nothing about botting in runescape and look what it did to your game. Now all of a sudden your combating botting, and not even on your current game ( which you still have tons of in living rock caverns and I believe ive seen some divination skilling as well) but on an old version of the game. . Why didn't you act so quickly in 2008 2009 when the bots took over the hi scores list? You still have remnants of old bots and they have max capes now thats how long you let them get away with it.You guys make no sense

I'm sure your probably right, It just angers me that I see jmods talking about botting on OSRS but you don't see them say anything about the bots that are on rs3.
