Well if their accounts are automatically locked from outside viewers, it sorta is pointless for extreme security since their accounts are already protected by the game client itself, and thats pretty secure unless anyone plans on breaking into Jagex HQ, but from the pictures of the supposed new HQ, I wouldn't try since they do own a tank(maybe?) lol.

Very nice Adventure Log lol wish mine looked as nice ;P

Multiline chat?! wow i just realized it after being in game awhile thats good and bad lol spamming to the max much?

Got a freaky Forester random about 3 hours ago and there was a multitude of bots all just sitting by the exit portal... WIN reported em all ;) like I said idc if it doesn't do anything in the long run, it just makes me feel all fuzzy inside knowing I maybe slowed so ungrateful 15 y/o's goldfarming progress.

CAPTCHA is circumventable. I'm more inclined to say bring back the old 'aggressive' randoms - river troll, tree ent, drunk dwarf etc. Really? So no bot has a "IF damage occuring THEN teleport home" coded anywhere in it? Sorry, aggressive randoms affected normal players much to often to be beneficial. As for CAPTCHA, I think RS can improve on them as they have a 3d option. Basically, have five to eight 3d shapes that are randomly placed, rotating and slightly moving. On the skin of the shapes are the individual CAPTCHA letters. After that, an interface like the Bank Pin pops up where you have to tap in the letters in order (maybe eight buttons). Even better, they could just use 3d models of dragons, man, furniture, cat, boats, trees, etc in random posing and shading with letters mapped on the skin of various body parts then converted to a 2d image (removing model id's). It then ask for specific letters (back of the human, left wing of the eagle, branch of the tree,, shield of the demon) . Now, I'm not up on anti-CAPTCHA, but that sounds beyond the abilities of any program to solve but fairly simple to implement. Yes, CAPTCHAS can be overcome if you never change the patterns. However, Jagex should easily to be able to call upon it's enormous model library and the fact everyone is in a 3d interface to design a nigh impossible bot anti-bot tool. Then, like others say, you implement this device so that accounts stop being tested slowly over time. It can even alleviate annoyances to new accounts by older players by letting older accounts sponsor newer accounts (tested less often though obviously all connected accounts will then be at risk if any attempt to bot). What if what they did was, as you say, use every model in the game, and give the player options that would be totally random each time so maybe it would slow the bots somehow? I really don't know much else. The bot problem is just beyond crazy atm.

Haha anyone see rc becoming a money sink skill soon?? no real money in getting 91 anymore :/

Ahh ok, not sure havent payed attention to that stuff, but yeah the /p /f /c stuff is very nice

That was changed awhile ago wasn't it?

Go to any f2p world and check out the yews/willows... Go to a P2P world and watch the ess mine in varrock.... Go to Agility Cources... Go to any... ANY resource that is a decent income and look... For god sakes go look in Frost Dragons -.- .... There was a time I actually wanted to get 85 dungeon to go kill frost dragons for the bones and possible money, but not any more. Bots have ruined that. A nice little soultion might be a random that requires you to solve a captcha device, sort of like on forums but on a more frequent base, like every hour or so. Depending on the ammount of time taken to solve it, the frequency would decrease over time and would not deter actual legitimate players and could give a nice reqard such as a xp book or something of a more valueable sort. implement it secretly so that it would not be on the front page, and if the time taken exceeds, lets say 30 minutes, instant temp ban post investigation of the account for futher "botlike" review. And for this it should have thousands of possibilites for required input, so that it could not be scripted in any way. Like an actual RANDOM puzzle I know its not much but something has to be done. The return of free trade brought me back, but in a way it makes me not want to play when everytime I ntry to skill, I have to compete with bots... and yes... EVERYDAY I'M BOTREPORTERIN'

First few big levels since coming back.... for the 3rd time lol

Awesome that is great i wish they would get rid of all of them soon... and not just temporary

Amazing bank super jealous of your rares (still kicking myself for selling em before i quit for 2 years :angry: ) but very nice still not sure if theres really anything i would get rid of its already so nice and organized i most likely would say keep it the same, still have plenty of space 60+ spaces is fine considering its already got everything you really need in it lol

Hi guys, I don't know if any of you remember me, but I used to be a tip.it mod before my rather sudden departure :wall: I have not been very active in the forums at all and have almost ceased playing RS due to school, GF, and other technical issues but hopefully I will be slowly and steadily making a comeback. I just played for the BXP weekend just because I figured it would be an excuse to burn some of my gold on herblore, and sitting on 87 now, I really feel like I am gonna have some fun with this game again... MAYBE lol. So just a nice little posty saying Hi im back and might as well try to stay this time lol ;)

<3 the new barrows set I can't wait to get a set lol

Jeez I just read through your entire blog and may I just say WOW. *jealous* Your pace of levels is godly I don't see how you can rip these levels so fast its incredible! Goodluck man Your just... wow lol
