@Argentinosk - I can't work out if you are serious or joking?

That is such a sweeping generalised statement! I know good players who wear that clothing, and the camo gear, just because they like those clothes! (and let's face it, 2007 doesn't give a lot of choice in basic clothing, does it?).

After reading all these posts, I see a couple of trends. Firstly, people are reporting masses of people for botting. Secondly, it is assumed that you are a bot if you (a) wear certain clothing, or (b) stand still skilling too long.

These things can apply to any player!

OK, so hundreds are reported every day - then will someone please explain to me why genuine players are being banned, and the bots are thriving in their masses? Something seems to be very wrong with the criteria for assessing who is a bot, with reporting that bot, and with the way those reports are being handled. With the amount of reporting that goes on, you would think the bots would be diminishing in number.

Hello! Something is not working, guys!

Rav3n :-)

So I've been running around in game today and a lot of the more popular areas are looking much, much clearer at the moment.

Can you expand a little on the locations where bots are thriving in their masses and I will see what I can do to clear them up :)

The three runecrafting bots I've mentioned yesterday, the same ones I'm reporting for weeks now .. they're still happily botting in w 352, using Castle Wars chest ^^

And guess what? No JMod passed nearby to tell them *Hi!*

And .. what about the auto-talkers in worlds 1 and 2? :D

Just wandering around now, and noticed these few spots still quite crowded:

Magic trees at the Sorcerers tower south of Seers Village.
Master farmers in Draynor market.
Willow trees above Port Sarim, next to the bar.

Ok Evening Star, I've taken care of two of them, the first one doesn't seem to exist...maybe spelling is off?

Thanks Mattonline, I'll make those my next areas of focus :D

Hi,

there were alot of bots at the maple trees north of the Seers Village bank but I reported alot of them and some of them are not there anymore :)
Sadly it is getting crowded there again now.

Edit:
Good job! Looks much clearer now :)
