Jagex selling gold would stop the real world traders, but it wouldn't stop the bots at all. The majority of botters do bot for personal gain, and why buy gold when you can just bot it...

Does Jagex actually change IDs for singular objects? For example, you have a room full of spiders, and they decide to change one to mark out bots or something? Also yeah, while most botters don't actually write their own scripts, I'm pretty sure most do know how to skim the code to change a few item IDs and recompile the code.

All right, let me screw things for botters everywhere. Most scripts use a pre-defined ID programmed into the game to take action. e.g. attack monster 3435, eat food 5325, mine type rock 4323 or whatever. Just subtly shift one of the IDs every now and then. Flag players who never touch the objects with changed IDs and ban them eventually.

Well obviously it would be too expensive. Good luck subpoenaing all those ISPs into giving up names of botters/rwters/etc. Good luck suing them individually. There's a reason even the RIAA stopped that sort of tactics, and they represented a multi-billion dollar industry. Jagex can't do anything against botters, and now they are everywhere. No real purpose left in playing honestly anymore...

LOL @ his attempts to say that access wasn't unauthorized. Sarah Palin's email was hacked into via yahoo's email recovery feature, and the hacker was thrown into jail for a year. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/11/palin-hacker-sentenced/ If he lives in the US, Jagex can absolutely take the case here and [bleep] him up based on case law alone. Even if he doesn't, I doubt UK law is much more lenient. This kid's [bleep]ed if Jagex wants to pursue legal action.

by "his friend" he means himself. i'm admiring that unranked WC there bro

^it's possible, but the client gets updated with 1/2 hours so I doubt it's worth their time.

The reason for the massive drop was because the update made the bot client outdated, and we had to wait for a new release :) also, lol@people who say "I've heard..." when they've obviously used bots...
