Thank you very much for your efforts here.

I'm sad to say that based on historical experience with in-game 'live' bot-busting sessions, I will not be attending, nor do I think they're an effective part of the overall anti-botting strategy. But I wish you the best with them, if you're really intent on continuing, and if I happen to see you in an area I'm playing in, I will happily give you all a nod, and a thumbs-up.

I will continue to report a few here and there that I see. But more casually than in the past. Simply put, I'm tired and jaded and gone are the days when I will waste my free-time reporting 30+ names at yew trees, for example.

I'm glad that Jagex treat this issue very seriously, and that your communication about what you're doing regarding bots is so much better now than it had been in the past.

I think that good communication with us about what you're doing regarding bots is actually half the battle, and lately you've got that right. Without good communication, lots of players who were passionate about bot-removal got pretty disheartened. But, since 07 was released I really think you (Jagex) have done a great job in your communicating with us players.

Thumbs up and cheers Jagex!

There are different bots in 0ldSkool than in RS13 though. The first thing that comes to mind are the silk trading bots that buy in Al Karid, and sell in Ardy. Are these bots that are specific to OldSkool, but not RS13, being targetted too?

As i have been cutting Yews/Magics for the past couple weeks iv seen more and more bots getting the levels to cut these trees, hearing this is a releaf to me because theres useally 10~ bots each world. Also on the note of banning bots, theres allways the risk of you guys falses banning people, like you did to my good friend '' L am King'' its been 6weeks sence hes been banned for nothen, if you see this post Mod Mat K, from both me and him we hope you check over his case and respond to him at least, and try to unbann him. Hes sent in many e-mails and such but doesnt seem to be getting any REAL help, he doesn't want to make a new account because hes afraid he will get banned again/waste his money. If you could really look into his case for just a couple of mins it would mean great things to him.

It'a about time... But you do need to be careful with these bot busting events. Also when you do restart bot busting can you acknowledge the fact that some of us can't use teleport, last time I went on the bot busting sessions about 6 of us were left behind and when we finally caught up the session was over.

What if people reporting you for 'botting' while you actually aren't?
For example people reporting alchers for alching with a auto clicker but actually are not using that program.

And is auto-typing a sort of bot?

Although, it's very nice to hear that botters slowly not working! Good Job Jagex, Old School RuneScape developers #1!! ~
