Banning bots is a lost cause. Some people really need to realise that (to be quite honest i'm shocked that people havent already). Ban a bot, 2 more are created tomorrow and ready for action within a week. The only (realistic) option Jagex has (aside from assigning people to popular bot-hotspots all over the game and resetting them as they pass. This would however be a waste of manpower) is to do what they have done to Frosts. Make it harder/less profitable for bots while not causing any trouble for legit players. Yes, Frosts might not have changed much (or will be back to normal within a few days) but it's a start, and it shows potential. It's innovative thinking for sure. Give some time and they'll be able to learn from their mistakes and improve. I'm not seeing RS botfree for a long time to come, but bots might become less of an issue and less damaging to the economy in the near future, which is exciting. Imho, the reason it's a lost cause is because Jagex doesn't perm-ban mains. Yes, ban one bot and two more take it's place. Ban one frost dragon bot, two more LEVEL 3 bots take it's place. See where I'm coming from? That's why in the old days, it was mainly boring skilling - you know, WC, mining, fishing, hunting that was botted. Because the highest investment in a bot is like, idk, 65 hunting or 60 fishing in order to start making gold? The biggest RS gp monetary investment was like 20-30k for a rune pic/axe. I mean, the masses of level 3s just destroying yew trees were never pretty, but it's better to limit bots to skilling-money making then to skilling-money making AND camping monsters for drops. I've never said this before, but I've often wondered if instanced Frost Dragons would help solve the problem. Yes, I realize that bots would bot even more at frosts and drag the price even further down, but the fact that you could kill them without direct competition makes them far easier for regular players to kill. Kinda like barrows - more plalyers at barrows brings the price of barrow items down, but they don't have a real impact on the actual gameplay of running barrow chests. Of course, it's hard to say because if the profit goes down too much it stops being worth it for many players.
