According to Jagex this is not reportable, as its nots spam bcos its game related chat (not random jibber jabber@@@@@@@) and its not macroing because they actually at the keyboard and cant be detected so easily anyway.

 

 

 

I'd suggest you re-read the rules

 

 

 

As my reply quoted directly from Jagex rules auto-typers are a rule break

I remember one time I was spamming (sorry!) cause I was in a hurry and typing fast (buying stuff) in Seers. And a P-Mod says to please slow down the typing because it's spamming. So I did and we didn't have a problem anymore :P

 

 

 

But I type pretty fast (100-115WPM) so I bet some people think I autotype when I'm buying stuff, but what I do is I every few sentences make a mistake on the sentence haha :D

I'm a fast typerand as said before I purposefully make a mistake every few times

 

 

 

Also I randomly jump around what I say

 

 

 

eg "selling x yK - Paw"

 

"x for sale! yK - Paw Claw"

 

"Paw - selling x yK - Paw"

I asked Jagex about it once. You can only report them under rule 1 IF they are flooding. If they say the message once every 60 seconds or so, it is alright. But if they flood the chat with it, report for rule 1

Exactly. That's exactly what I do so I don't get blamed as an auto typer. :)

I report under Macroing. I have never gotten in trouble for that. :-s

I'm pretty sure they are legal but if you spam it it is counted as Offensive Language.

Yes you should you report them.

meh ive bin muted for typing rly fast tbh then later apealed it and got unmuted.... rofl i figured out cause someone lost there rune axe head and theyre like who got? i was liek me...and hes like wtf who got my axe head? and im like ME!!etc...rofl

 

 

 

so yes ppl can type

that fast its not that fast -.-

I'm pretty sure Jagex classifies this as a macro, along with autoclickers. And besides, it's unfair on us...We have to type away whilst these noobs are just sitting back and merching away, making money with virtually no effort whatsoever. I report an autotyper every time I see one (although in some situations there is too many to report)...Hopefully Jagex can put a stop to this soon...

i would have to say yes, not because its macroing but thats runescape helps u with ur typing and that typing macroers shoudl realise that

I must say that I disagree with you. I'm a merchanter, and I often hang out at the most popular F2P banks, doing merchanting. During these times I see autotypers almost every second. And they irritate me ALOT! They use a program to do what they're to lazy to do themselves. This causes alot of extra problems to the other, hard-working, non-rule breaking merchanters. Whoever said that merchanting is easy is wrong. While merchanting you often get problems with scammers, beggars, noobs and alot more irritating people who just want the money that you have worked so hard for earning cash. I don't accept this. And to all this there is auto typers. You say that they don't cause so much harm, don't you?

 

Let me tell you this: They do.

 

Right now I'm standing outside Varrock west bank. There is 1 auto typer here right now that's selling a rune (g) kite for a pretty high price. This is not only irritating. The most important thing to why you ALWAYS should report auto-typers is that they make the honest, non-rulebreaking merchanters less heard in the auto-typers spamming of messages.

 

 

 

Yes, I hate auto-typers. And I got alot of reasons to do so, and I have tried to state the most important ones above. I hope that I have my point clear when it comes to auto-typers. But even if you still haven't got what I have tried to say, I will state one, final time for you:

 

 

 

ALWAYS REPORT AUTO-TYPERS!

 

 

 

What he said!

 

 

 

I hate every type of autoer! typing "selling ppots - bangupall" all the time starts to hurt...and they auto typers get to sit back and do stuff all!

 

Report em' gah! frustration! :evil: :evil:

I only report the ones buying/selling the same thing as me. :-w

Autotypers should be reported. They annoy and ruin it for the ones not cheating.

Technicaly, you can't report them if it is the same message every 30 seconds. It is easy to tyoe "selling steaks, 500each - wkw" faster then 1 every 10 secs, but if someone is useing an auto talker, it breaks both rule 1 and 6.

 

 

 

Report under rule 1 because Jagex can see them spaming with it.

 

But I believe that using an autotyper is not macroing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

i totally agree, yet im still too "scared" to use one, don't wanna loose my account. :\

Yes! Why would you even ask that? Isn't the answer obvious??

 

 

 

You must not use other software to gain an unfair advantage in the game. This includes automation tools, macros, bots, or auto-typers. You may not circumvent any of our mechanisms designed to automatically log out inactive users.

 

 

 

 

 

What type of third party software is NOT allowed?

 

 

 

 

 

This includes, but is not limited to the following third party software:

 

 

 

 

 

Software that attempts to communicate directly with the RuneScape game worlds.

 

Software that monitors, modifies or decrypts the communications between the RuneScape applet and the RuneScape worlds.

 

Software that generates input to the RuneScape applet. This includes software that automatically moves the mouse pointer or generates mouse clicks or key presses.

 

Modified or replacement versions of the RuneScape applet. Reverse engineering the RuneScape applet is strictly prohibited. Using a modified version of the RuneScape applet is not permitted for any reason.

its hard to tell some time if the text is short, for example i can type like buying unid herbs 1k ea without it disappearing and people say i macro. So u just gotta be careful i did a test a week ago and i can type average of 110 wpm

Report every kind of marcos, the auto talkers are very annoying. Also has lazy can people get, having macros type for them... :?

When it comes to macroing and 3rd party software, jagex always puts in the little line "if it changes the gameplay for you or others...". so use it in this situtation.

 

 

 

Does using an auto typer macro change the gameplay for you and others? well for starters, you no longer have to type a line of text over and over, giving you an advantage over other people. Also, using an auto typer will spam the chatbox (most of the time) which in turn is breaking another rule.

 

 

 

so yes, report them.

Yes, and mute them also.

 

Rule 7 - Using Third Party Software

 

Effective date: 7th March 2007

 

 

 

 

 

You must not use other software to gain an unfair advantage in the game. This includes automation tools, macros, bots, or auto-typers. You may not circumvent any of our mechanisms designed to automatically log out inactive users.

 

 

 

You also must not use any RuneScape-specific third party software which encourages breaking of our rules, or bypasses the normal navigation of our website, or automatically requests pages from our website, or which endangers user accounts.

 

 

 

 

Striaght from the rule book on the main page.

 

 

 

They should be banned why should they be able to type fast and get more buyers because there message is always there. It gives them a total unfair advantage over us the people who type for real.

 

 

 

What i'm suspesting that you use 1 thats why you feel that way. :-k

I autotype every time I'm selling/buying something. I've made around 20-30m merching thanks to it. But there's nothing wrong with having a message coming up every 10 seconds, it doesn't spam the screen and it's a "health and safety" benefit as it doesn't destroy your hands.

 

 

 

A few player mods I've asked said that it's not classed as macroing but then again a few have... seems like the message is kind of mixed up. All that i know is that the times that wanna-be-mods have reported me nothing has come of it. So I will persist until i get a warning.

Well, I think it should only be classified as auto-typing if it happens every 2 seconds or so. Every 10 seconds is great as it doesn't kill your hands with carpral tunnel.

 

 

 

I never report them myself because I didn't know that they would actually get punished. I will now as it gets annoying to get your sales drowned out with a large message every half of a second.

It is classified as macroing. But most of the time when they do it they are also advertising something... :shame:

I see many people advertising websites while using auto-typers.

 

 

 

"Buy RuneScape gold at (insert website here)" :wall:

 

 

 

The thing I hate about it is you can't do anything about it except report them which won't do much good as they have multiple accounts doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was happening in members worlds as well.
