Pking Autos? And I mean not just the suspected green dragon autos in the wilderness, but yew bots and bot miners and what have you. Think about it. Random events do nothing to deter macros, they just run away or they actually do the event, and if one actually "dies", obviously more than one will always take their place.

 

 

 

So I begin thinking, "Why not have legitemate players kill macroers?" Seems like a nice idea, right? But hold on: What about legit players that just seem to be be macros but aren't? Well, Jagex can create a Macro Pking system that goes like this:

 

 

 

You can only attack players (wheter it be in the wildernes or not)

 

who are suspected of macroing.

 

 

 

How can you determine if they are macroing?

 

 

 

Macro Determine Guidelines

 

 

 

-If they have strange asian sounding names, or random letters and/or numbers in their name

 

 

 

-Doing a repetitive task like cutting yews or mining and avoiding random events

 

 

 

-Low level (cause this isn't iin the wilderness, where the green dragona utos are)

 

 

 

-Have the default clothing (green shirt and pants, bald head)

 

 

 

-Banking their produce reptitively.

 

 

 

-Repititvely going in a route like running to yew tress, or rune ess mines and back, and going throught the exact same route again

 

 

 

-etc.

 

 

 

And when the macros/autos/bots get pked by the legit players, they automatically get banne,d so when they get killed, they don't have to come back as the same macro ro have another one replace them (the second one is probably, but at least the autos will be banned).

 

 

 

And popular auto areas like the yew trees, fishing spots, and basically any skill/area that gives you profit and money, can be multi-combat areas, so more than one person can gang up ona a macro/macros. Keep in mind you can only attack these players if they follow the guidelines above, which Jagex should be able to put into their programming. You would also be able to get great loot, and it would be fun to get your revenge on autos, and it dosen't have ot be somewhere complicated like the wilderness!

 

 

 

And keep in mind that when they are killed by legit players, they are banned.

 

 

 

And not only that: When legit players are done the Combat Part of the Tuturial, a message will pop up saying "You can now kill autos/bots/macros) and will run a brief explanantion on what they are and how to distinguish one, so players can kill the bots on Tutorial Island and prevent them from actually coming into the game and destroying the economy and what have you.

 

 

 

So, what do you think? Good/Bad suggestion? I personally think it's great, and because tha tuos will be banned when pked, it should really lower the number of autos! :lol:

Should go here.

 

 

 

Really, though, this isn't a good idea at all...None of those guidelines are efficient enough to deter macroers.

 

 

 

-Banking their produce repetitively.

 

 

 

I'm sorry if I like keeping my supplies somewhere besides my inventory...I wasn't aware this made me a suspected macroer.

Bad idea. It wouldnt work, sorry but it just wouldnt. To many low level players would be running around trying to kill people, and then macros would just get combat levels

Should go here.

Sorry, just realiazed at last minute where it should be. I don't really post here often, so forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section.

 

 

 

Also, even if the macros don't bank their produce (well, I mean it's a given that they would, because their selling the produce in bulk), we should sitll be able to kill them, and we haven't really even discussed the part about how the macros are banned when killed. :lol:

 

 

 

Thoughts?

Players could kill them in Tutorial Island, before they substantially gain a combat level. Also, I believe I mentiones Multi-Comba, so other players can join in if a low level is having a hard time killing a suspected autoer. And personally, I'd like if we had more autos banned than having 1 or 2 legit players banned. No system can be abo[bleep]ely perfectm of course, when it comes to something like this, but sometimes it can be as close as we can get. And Jagex dosen't act that much on the Report Abuse System either, because it dosen't potentially hurt the goldfarmes profits if they get banned, they'll just create more macros. If we stop the macros by killing them, which i sfaster,and in Tutorial Island, (read my thread), we should see a feverent decrease in them.

I'll run through your suspected macroer guidelines, and see what's wrong...

 

 

 

Macro Determine Guidelines

 

 

 

-If they have strange asian sounding names, or random letters and/or numbers in their name

 

This I could see, to a point

 

-Doing a repetitive task like cutting yews or mining and avoiding random events

 

With the exception of avoiding random events in some circumstances, not a good way. They could be training

 

-Low level (cause this isn't iin the wilderness, where the green dragona utos are)

 

Skillers?

 

-Have the default clothing (green shirt and pants, bald head)

 

This I could see, but it's getting to be more common for them to change their clothing, and they'll only do it more with this.

 

-Banking their produce reptitively.

 

Already comment on this one, see above

 

-Repititvely going in a route like running to yew tress, or rune ess mines and back, and going throught the exact same route again

 

I do that too, when I train...

 

-etc.

 

 

 

 

Please not, I in no way endorse macroing...I'm just commenting on his suggestion.

I understand. They could be training. So how about Jagex creates an event along side with this that gives them a quiz or question (not like The Teacher random event, but on the macro site) If the suspected macro is dull to respond to the event, people can be allowed to kill the "macro".

 

(assuming it is 100% macro and a skiller like you said, because a legitimate player who is skilling should, in theory, be able to respond right? Unless higher programmed macros can bypass this, I see no reason as to why this can't be possible.)

Ok, I'm only going with the general idea of macros here, so you can't blame me(?) if a legitimate player who falls under these guidelines gets banned. like I said, no system is perfect, but this one, I think, could potentially help, incase another system like Report Absuse ultimately fails to do something about macros in the end, and I like I said, I'd rather've have 2 legit players banned who fall under the guidelines but another 1000 authentic macros permenantly banned for it too.

And besides, what kind of low level actual player would have an Asian sounding name with default clothing? If they want to make themselves stand out with their own array of clothing, they would, because that can tell us that at the very least, they're not a macro, because programmers usually put their macro on the default clothing, and again, people can kill suspected macros on tutorial island, after talking to the combat master and completing the combat tasks, of course.

Sorry, but this is a really bad idea! I could go on for awhile on why this can never happen, but i don't want the keys to falll off my keyboard.

It's immpossible to only make certain players killable.....

 

 

 

They'd have to trurn it into a wildy or something.

 

 

 

Atleast your trying to help :0

 

 

 

Remember Reporting macros is most affective as of now.

Nah, too many people fall under that category to got there for macros only. Exept the default clotheing ofcource.

how about before you attack someone, the victim has to solve a puzzle...

Here's an idea: Jagex can detect altered clients, so why not have all altered clients be flagged as autoers and be pk-able.

Lol, if you see a skiller who isn't reponding, ... you can kill him with 1 hit and then he would be banned? Bad idea ..

I don't really think this is a good idea. What if someone is a skiller and has default clothing? What if a low level has been muted? What if a player made their name a jumble of letters? Either way, people go on Runescape to play the game. If they are randomly selected to kill autoers, they would not be able to enjoy Runescape itself. That would not be fair. Although-Jagex can hire some employees to do that. And most likely, if someone gets home, they might get discouraged to buy more macroers if they realize their autoers that they spent money on are all gone.

Finally, someone who has an idea that agrees with me! =)

 

 

 

Honestly, I don't see why people don't like this idea. Too many players fall under this category? Bah! The players that fall under that category are macros, and even if there are some playerd that fall under that category that are legitimate, it would only be a few, I'm sure!
