Good job! I have noticed the drop in bot numbers, making the game more pleasant all round. I will keep reporting players I suspect to be botting, I suppose if you receive a number of reports on a player the spotlight will get turned on them?

Does the program target specific areas? If so I will be patient and wait for some of the bots I see in some areas to get their just desserts!

It's unfortunate that there were some false bans, but the fine tuning will hopefully keep this to a minimum.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the bot makers struggle to find a work-around this!

Keep up the good work, much appreciated,

Piso

Great read, really pleasent to know!
However I do wonder, are you guys at Jagex implenting a bot nuke aswell? Because simply banning the bots won't get you totally rid of them.

Encouraging reading indeed. You keep it up guys :) I am very happy that you share the progress with us, so that we can have something to direct those who have lost their faith in the struggle against bots.

Not even a bot nuke will totally get rid of bots.

Can A mod please help me out. A friend of mines account was hijacked and reported for (macroing - gold farming) twice in the same day and now his account is perma banned. Wasn't it only supposed to be a 1 or 2 day ban anyway? He has been a loyal member for YEARS and wouldn't even think twice about paying for a dumb bot that ruins the game anyway. Please help us out so that he can get back to playing*
*******
**: He has already appealed both bans and sent an email but has gotten no response.

I can't even skill anymore without people just running passed and reporting me.. some people need to get a life, go out and socialise.

Doesn't matter if you're reported when playing legit - All Macro reports are checked before action is taken, you won't be in trouble.
