It ebbs and flows. And anyway, most "bots" aren't really bots. Macro programs have been phased out, for the most part, and replaced by gold farmers, which are far more difficult to detect and punish. That may explain why it seems they are gone; it's late at night and perhaps their shifts ended.

 

 

 

 

 

in china? [bleep] that. shifts? i bet its noon in china now.

 

pft if i was in the situation id farm gold to keep my self warm to, id be farming whenever i could. if it made me $ and was so relaxing as sitting in your own home(provided most probably dont)

 

 

 

You just achieved -10 IQ Level!

Give it a week or so, they'll all be back lol, its just a matter of creating more characters. They do this every once in a while, have a mass banning and then overtime they come back and the cycle repeats.

 

 

 

Bots are like illegal immigrants in the U.S. Some are good because they do tasks that others don't like to do, however, too many is a bad thing.

They'll be back in a few days. But, Jagex tried and they deserve credit for their hard work. Anyway, I should remind you guys that you should also be reporting suspicious activities because that helps Jagex remove the bots.

But as opposed to the US, Jagex takes further precautions after banning.

 

I know of many programs that are of no use anymore in RS, since Jagex has counter-programs to catch macroers.

 

 

 

As far as I've heard the next precaution the US is taking is just allowing a sort of "home militia", enabling every Tom [bleep] and Harry to shoot at border runners.

Yea but for every program destroyed, another comes along to take it's place, It's a never ending cycle and I don't think there is ever going to be a way to stop it, there will always be autoers in RS.

 

 

 

And the thing about shooting border runners, thats horrible! I really want to move to Europe when I get older, I'm not very fond of the US even though I've lived here my whole life.

 

 

 

We love you Shelly and if it's quite alright we love you Shelly in the middle of the night we love you Shelly... trust in me when i say... \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and after that i followed him for 1.5 hours and saw bots just.. disappearing :D!

 

and then ali and maddoch or mordoch or whoever it was, and then tallman joined too :P

 

 

 

ban bots ftw :D

While people are busy complaining about the presence of autoers, we should take the time out to think about one thing. That thing being that on the top lists there are virtually no autoers.

 

Surely there are some but they don't get much time to exist on the highscores, which is I might say one of the most important things to many players, who would rather compare themselves to another human char, and not a mechanism.

 

 

 

So needless to say , we should be thankful for the effort jagex puts into it. Its not like we are the only ones aware of this problem. And seeing as they are the ones who get rid of the autoers whilst we sit on out flat rumps complaining, we should give them higher recognition.

I don't think you fully understand how bad sweatshops are in China Mario...

 

 

 

Sweatshops, while having incredibly horrible conditions, are still actually more comfortable than their homes. At least they have AC to keep all the computers functional.

 

 

 

People freak out about the sweatshops requiring workers to work 100+ hours. Wal Mart's workers in China work 130+ for even lower pay rates. They're HAPPY to work on weekends. Especially when it's a hundred degrees outside, and their little shack has no air conditioning. Or when it's freezing outside. At least these sweatshops have heaters to keep people warm so they can still do the work.

 

 

 

For the pay rates these companies offer, ANYONE in those conditions would take the job. These conditions aren't the same as sitting in your own home. They're FAR better. That's why sweatshops are such a problem in China.

It felt weird to walk by Catherby and have no-one under level 30 fishing there. :)

1 world in a million probably ;)

 

You'd be sickened by the brutal amount of bots in F2P worlds.

 

all had 70+ rc.

 

all had 70+ rc.

 

Since I've been using the fairy ring network more lately, I see more and more of them. They have become a bit more sophisticated, the names aren't easily recognisable as autoers any more and they have auto generated messages like: "Hi" "*Skill* level" and "Could you switch please?" (I've seen the last one a lot while trying to kill Salarin the Twisted -yes, they are there too-.) But I'm glad they're really putting effort in doing something against it, makes RS a better place. Hopefully the nat macroers will stopped too, before they have a huge impact on the nats price.

How would they know if another person is there? do they just randomly say it?

I saw loads at heps 99 prayer party it was Macro Galore... But jagex cut them back in yews, i also saw more creaping in flaxs again

I would think that those are gold farmers. Remember how we all used to think that those green dragon killers were autos?

Grrbmfll, the new bot dimension :anxious: ?

 

 

 

never seen something like that before, all with decent names :evil:

Just saw like 20 of them in world 3, in my walk from lumbridge to draynor.

 

there allready where 3 cutting yew (reported by now)

 

 

 

Guess they only just mass bann them, but dont have detection systems to delete starting ones :(

They always work on it...

 

But I must say, there are times I don't see a single bot at the Yews.

 

 

 

But currently, there are 8

Yup, and they don't respond to it if you ask/say something back. You'll recognize one in less then 3 minutes if you see one. They also wear a typical autoers outfit.

Well, that's also just a preprogrammed message. You can let it say anything you want. Trust me, they're very easy to recognize.

There's a rumor going around that there was a mass banning of bots that Jagex didn't notify us about. Someone confirm plawks?

Every week i see a sudden decrease in the number of autos which then usually goes back up during the middles of the week, so for a few days, it may be quiet, but it probably will go back to being 20+ people on a tree.

I don't know what happened, but in every case they are back now :( :

 

 

 

 

 

 

But about a "mass ban" I've checked the willows also (11 hours ago) and there wasn't any autoÃÆÃâÃâër there either...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next to that:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sometimes make lists of autoÃÆÃâÃâërs on old accounts and as you can see some old autoÃÆÃâÃâërs aren't banned (while I reported guan b01- guan b07 about a week ago)... :roll:
