True, at least from mid 2002. Although I must admit that I don't recall seeing autoers (that I could ID as such anyway) back in RSC. And Miniclip was actually advertising Runescape back long before RS2; it was the portal where I first learned of the MMORPG back when the gods still answered letters and you couldn't range in close combat, so I can't quite blame it for all of the RS ills. Has RS been overrun with young people? Maybe. But let's be serious, if you want an MMORPG that doesn't attract the young and foolish, I'm not too sure one exists. And not all of the young are beggars, tricksters or looking for a fast buck. Some are strong and steady players who take the good with the bad. Seek them out, mute the rest and use the report feature on the bots!
