martinnewton Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 They have this idea on some other online games where the players seem it a good idea to cheat and ruin the game for us, whereas every 15-20 mins maybe less or maybe more , a screen may pop up bottom of your game screen and a little code is generated, you must enter it to carry on playing. or if you dont answer within a certain time limit , your account could be banned and then i also thought of maybe other things to make the way you gotta type it fun, like little mini-games like u gotta click things on the screen to continue. This solves two things, the BIG random problem with useless rewards and i think it would solve the botters as they couldent continue if they are not at there computer, asin unable to type the code, therin stopping the big influx in prices of basic items, which would stop people quitting and moaning. And i know i many people will disagree with this and some agree but if you guys think for a second, it is a perfect way to tackle this plague. Also if you read this post your different views on how the code could be added, or how long you get to type this and such things. :twisted: I am woodcutting ALL the time i am on , so if anybody need to chat or anything im always at gnome tree stronghold.

martinnewton Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 yeh but maybe they wouldent add it to BLATENT places wer you are not gonna bot, Ex - fight caves and wild maybe. but it is a great way to stop it if u think about it, just needs refinement I am woodcutting ALL the time i am on , so if anybody need to chat or anything im always at gnome tree stronghold.

spooferfish Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 NO. That would be inconvenient even when you aren't busy (like at Jad). IMO it would make Runescape very unenjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwick246 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Along with the constant annoyance of a pop-up while you play, you also could be distracted while you fight Jad or PK. Plus Autoers could possibly get past that. If they can get through randoms and pick flax then whats a little security number going to do? Basically it will hurt the majority of the public than help defeat macroers. Need help or advise? Have a question? Just PM me through Runescape or Tip.it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That about sums up my five paragraph response I was about to post. ^ Maybe it would work if the code didn't pop up if you're in the Wilderness/Combat. After all, I don't know of any autoers that do auto-combat (but they're might be). And maybe the code wouldn't pop up in areas where Random's never pop up anyways (like in Castlewars, Pest Control, Duel Arena, and, of course, the Fight Caves).

There will always be a never ending war between jagex and the autoers. Jagex constantly releases new updates to stop the autoers; such as the pinball random event(no minimap for color reference and you have to click while the screen is moving), autoer-detection programs, ect. Try as they might, though, they'll never totally eliminate autoers. And try as they might, the sweetshops halfway across the world can't stop jagex from giving up stopping them. If jagex were to introduce this new code, the autoers would simply find a way around it and continue on.

Prankster_King Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The bots could easily overcome this, and it would just be a nuisance for the rest of us.

br34d Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 yeah, if the numbers/letters/characters were completely random, randomly colored, with random shadings, and random scratches, eventually all the macroers would be taken down. but it would also be extremely annoying when pking or training you would probably be killed. i think it would be better to randomly change the shape of the compass since most macros use the compass to move around. done with runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddavy2004 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 i think it could work well if it didn't happen in certain places and not so often, every hour would be nice and situations like fight caves it wouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
