Runescape actually started out as a MUD, so it could be a great game for you. Compared to Old School Runescape, Runescape 3 already has a lot of automation features. For example, when smithing we can smith a full inventory, when banking we can make presets to pull out large numbers of specific items with 1 keypress, and even the action bar can be automated to do threshold and ultimate combat abilities while doing other stuff. That's what I'm doing while typing this sentence!
The use of outside programs to automate features (macroing) is against the rules though, so you don't ever want to do that. The game is currently set up so at max you can go about 5 minutes before you have to interact with the game or you'll log out, so you must actually play the game to progress.
As for your example with bones, if you progress enough in the game you get an item called bonecrusher that buries your bones for you, or a power that can note them so you can sell them later. There's items for picking up coins, items for sending loot straight to your bank, and I haven't even scratched the surface of incremental bonuses to quality of life you can earn just by playing. And no, you can't just spend real life money to get these nice features either - you earn them and feel the rewards as you go.
I hope you stick around! I think you'll love the quests if you're an old MUD player.
