Could you kindly explain the alternative options? Yeah, there's a few alternatives that would have a major impact on macroing. Make harvesting resources more complex. Randoms are one thing, but to make a skill like Woodcutting / Mining more complex than simply clicking on an image would make writing macros much more complicated. The gameplay couldn't hurt from it either, these skills are outdated and tedious. Another option would be to invest more time and effort into detecting bots. At some points in time, Jagex has been extremely efficient in banning auto'ers. This is why there were seeming "waves" of autoing; when Jagex was on top of them, they were far less common. Heck, even having trade restrictions on characters which have been recently created (maybe characters under 1 month old / logged in for under 24 hours total time) could vastly reduce autoing. It would take a combination of things, but at least it would not decrease quality of gameplay as significantly. If anyone got the idea that I believe the updates were a good idea, that's not what I meant to say. I said they were the shortcut, and shortcuts bite you in the behind. The first one might not be that popular. It is kinda like saying, "lets not click the monster to kill it...lets make it so that you have to move your mouse to simulate an actual sword swipe." I would not mind, but there are many players who would...and it'd create a vast schism. Second, jagex did ban autoers, but account creation is so easy that the effects were negated. Simply put, it didnt work. Like putting a bandaid to stop a dam from breaking. Might fix it for a day or two, but cant handle the pressure. I dont quite understand the third one, so I am not going to comment on it. We seem to be on the same page, but at the same time, we have different viewpoints. I dont know if I should embrace you or argue with you. :)
