3. Can you start to target xyz now?
It's reports like this we need. You, the players, see all areas of the game and know the best and most efficient spots to purchase items, train and gather resource. We also know this, but there can be obscure areas bots and goldfarmers might target to keep out of sight. So far, we've taken the areas you've reported the worst and focused there. As we now begin to branch out, the areas you report are crucial, please keep these up!
What happens to areas that aren't used as often by players? There are some areas which have a high population of bots, but a low population of players which means they may not be getting reported. I reported 200 bots today in just one location (across multiple worlds), but during that time I only encountered 5 legitimate players. The accounts botting may not be getting reported as often as they should be since there are no players around. If there aren't enough players around, isn't there a chance of them slipping through the cracks?
We're doing our own manual scans of areas as well as letting BotWatch find them itself. We'll then assess the area's for potential threats and work accordingly.
Your reports help us assess the damage impact as well as gather us information on the bot users themselves. Either way, we're still getting the information we need, your reports just helps some areas get to us a little faster

I can tell you places that I have personally seen very obvious goldfarmer bots in large numbers. I mean the ones that have names like asdfwerty, or ffjj34kkll, and have like nothing trained on their highscores except the skill they are doing.
These are the places that I know have a lot of bots.
flax fields and spinning wheel in Seers.
nearly ALL trees in Catherby and Seers.
the fishing spots in Catherby.
the ess mines and Aubreys shop in varrock.
the silk trader in Ardougne.
the cow field in Fally has combat bots training melee for combat botting.
the yew trees south of Fally
the air altar, and mind altar.
a steady stream of goldfarmer bots going into the mining guild.
It is sad that I am 100% legit in my playing, and I have not made it to the mining guild yet, but the bots are all in there.
.
I have not been around a lot of other areas yet, because my levels are not very high yet, but I will write more when I see them.
