I agree with DesertFlower. There's pros and cons to the bot worlds. They provide a haven in which the bots can have their own place away from legitimate players who have to compete with them for resources. Yesterday I finished up 99 woodcutting and did some agility for the graceful gear, then decided on going for 99 fishing. Within the first 5 or so lobsters I was disconnected and relogged into this bot world. There were so many people that it was almost insane. Fishing spots were constantly moving and turning into whirlpools, trees going down to stumps almost immediately or turning into ents a majority of the time. It worried me a bit that I was sent to this world because I talk to people almost regularly and don't really do anything that implies that I'm botting. I logged out of the world and went to another world and did a quest really fast, and mid quest it teleported me back into the world. It hasn't happened to me yet today, but there's flaws in the system for sure. There were complaints of people getting banned for "botting" way before this bot world was even constructed that were legitimate players. When legitimate players get teleported, it makes them think, like I do, that we're doomed to getting banned for something we obviously aren't doing. A majority of these bots are low levels with the default look and jibberish names, not people with higher combat and total levels. Also, why not allow bonds to be implemented into 2007 like it is in RS3? As long as there is a demand for gold, and people are willing to play real money for it, there will always be bots.
