Selling my green and yellow phats when the GE came out ant their prices were crashing horribly.

Absolutely none of these would have any affect on bots at all. There is a limitless number of emails accounts on the web, tutorial island was easily completed by bots, and a two week waiting period would only be a minor delay.

Seems like I have to point this out once a week, but even if a computer can't solve a captcha, you can outsource the solving. http://www.deathbycaptcha.com http://decaptcher.com Considering most bots cost around $10-15 dollars most bot users would easily pay $2 to instantly skip every captcha they receive for weeks. Assuming 1 captcha every hour and the bot active 24/7 it would cost $2 to cover 41 days. Bots do slayer and bots do treasure trails, so why would this stop them in any way?

This. Hopefully this is the beginning of a bot decimation. Why would you want only 1/10 bots gone?

Lol, as if tip.it, zybez.net, and a [cabbage]ton of other sites aren't hacked. That is the past and I think that is not what we are discussing here. Right now (or yesterday) runehq was hacked and their password got decrypted by hackers, not on tip.it zybez.net or any other site. (according to op) What is runehq's next move/what did they do to prevent this in the future. Hashed passwords cannot be decrypted, only cracked. Encryption goes two ways, hashing only goes one.

Is that fairly new? Because i remember it not doing that less than a year ago. It's not too new, but it has not always been that way.

*points down to own stats* (and yes, I know its slightly melle based) Wearing void range and an arma plate there is pretty much no slayer task where you need to safespot. Overload and rigour makes my defense high enough that EEE and pray pots is more than enough healing and protection; however, dragons are the only task I still range (using dragonbane bolts). Slayer helm, ovl, rapier, and turmoil is far faster on every other task, even at my stats.

There is a large number of American servers, so a chunk of the American membership fees don't need to be converted.

What you're refering to is captcha, and yes bots can solve them. Most normal spambots on the internet can't but it's certainly not rare to see ones that solve it. Even Tipit gets a fair number of spambots even though we have captcha. It keeps most of them out, but if someone wants to get in, they'll get in. Captchas are generally never solved... What is done is that they pay a chinese employee to make bots.. Whereas each modern country has those companies banned (they only work cause they can underpay employees, and let employees doo much work) third world, malafide countries like china have not. It is a big market if you look for it, many companies offering service like "100 0000 captcha's solved daily for $100-200" Heck for these prices it's stupid to create a bot. DeCaptcher.com charges $2 per 1000 and has a simple API for incorporating it into your own programs.

There is almost never a need to use def pots for slayer...

With only 380k exp past 75 slayer (when you actually start getting tasks w/ good effigy rates) and the inability to fight several good effigy droppers (abyssal demon, dark beast) you should not have expected more than 2. Based on my slayer log of 1.3mil slayer exp I've received 1 effigy every 92,367 exp (all logged past 85 slayer) which would mean you should have received a maximum of 4 effigies if skipping/banning all poor effigy monsters.

and 200m fletching as well This guy had a solid page 1 rank for magic and almost a page 1 rank for constitution, what a thing to throw away.

Looks like desert headgear to me

But the terrain is green with a tinge of yellow, which likely just means grassy area or jungle areas (as they are green with a yellow tinge in places) and you can see more land across the water which doesn't really fit the deserts layout. And the architecture doesn't fit with the desert that draws on egyptian and kinda classic arabian styles, puts me in mind of kethsi, daemonheim and other old pre-godwars places like ghorrock. Perhaps we could FINALLY being to kudos isle? The 2nd concept art he linked to (actually not sure where it came from, but it shows a glove) has some rather random but clearly labeled "Desert Headgear" in it. What concept art is this???? Not seen it or any link to it. The art linked to in the first post, the person standing at the base of the tower also appears to be wearing desert clothes and the terrain is definitely sand.

It only affects a single target.
