imo runescape will never need this, the forums appear to have enough dedicated moderation, flame wars never go on for that long. I'd never list my information publicly, unless i took steroids, and was an experienced CQC instructor who wore bullet resistant vests all the time and carried a sidearm he could pin a fly to a barn wall with..(not bitter at my drill instructor, honest) =P

this is in regards to "Bot... or Not? Ts_Stormrage Edited by: lorexvath" I agree completely with this. It's strange why there are those who would use these programs to gain substantial amounts of raw materials. Especially since the inception of the Grand Exchange, there really is no reason to bot, there is no way to drop-trade, or give over 100m worth of goods in a single free transaction anymore. Truly the only reason is to gain xp without working for it. And even this is not nearly as tedious as it used to be, especially with a membership. (which is cheap, even by minimum wage standards.) This strikes a strange chord with me, because I really had no idea just how many people were running these programs until yesterday, i noted an obscenely high level player (who was also about to get 99 magic at the time) who, in true rogue fashion, closed the door to the rune essence in east varrock while simultaneously opening a door in the room northwest of it. (naturally i yelled at him for it, thinking him just acting evil for the spite of it. though he was quite apologetic and explained the situation.) Every single 'person' who was running to the rune essence (nearly 20 or so) instead ran to that room northwest of the rune essence, and he closed the door behind them, laughing evilly. We chatted for about an hour or so, he training magic, myself decided to do some fletching. The ENTIRE time, the 'people' ran around that northwest room, in circles, always ending running in the direction of Aubury. In this circumstance, it was evident these people were not at their keyboards, and quite easy to see they were running programs, not speaking, or even questioning what was going on. Eventually, one returned to his desk, saw what was going on, railed against the inhumanity of it all briefly, and logged out. While it might be pretentious at worst, and heroic at best, I really suggest taking the time to spell these awkward sounding names (botters tend to choose complex names to prevent being reported easily, i am told) if we work as a community to curb those who are cheating, it will eventually get marginally better for those of us who actually take the time to enjoy runescape. My question to the more experienced members of the community is, what sorts of things do you look for to risk reporting a suspected botter?
