Reporting as many autoers as you can, can help jagex find better ways to catch them and ban them faster. It's always kind of an uphill battle, and sometimes the autoers are huge in number, jagex does something and they stop mostly, then they come back again. It doesn't take much effort to spot an autoer. They never have expensive items on never more than iron, rarely steel. Myself I've seen very few autoers higher than mid 30's combat since it takes much longer time to raise past that. There are, of course, bots in all online mmo's and more in each as the game gains popularity. Games like 'maple story' for instance being totaly horribly overrun with auto bots since they have even less means to stop it than RS if you can imagine that. They're in it for the money basicly, and if you know/suspect somone is an autoer then yes, report them and don't trade with them. And if you know the sites that do the money selling, send and keep sending those to the Jagex people so they can look into it and do whatever legal action they need to shut them down.
