I don't have that much free time but it is a very interesting post. I hadn't realized bots made that much gp. Wow and with the GE they can sell materials so fast, too. Since they are members Jagex is getting their $5 a month lol.

 

 

 

I thought I saw some bots spinning flax maybe ill take down their names when I am there next.

 

 

 

in most countries, subscription works out to about $7-8 CDN or US.

 

 

 

those 15 bots (well 13 were working, 12 still are now) made $450 CDN/US in 2 weeks

 

 

 

$450/8 = 56 accounts paid for

 

 

 

I suspect that the 'paid for' bit is why Jagex is so bad about taking them out.

 

 

 

I also suspect that Jagex includes the bots in its 'available audience' when they sell advertising to companies.

 

 

 

Seriously: hop to f2p Draynor (I usually trade f2p friends there), on most days the bots outnumber actual kids 6:4.

 

 

 

Time Jagex on how long it takes them to ban the account - if you can still see it on hiscores, its not completely banned.

 

 

 

It has taken me 2.25 years to get 91 crafting, 82 runecrafting etc...

 

 

 

Nothing pisses me of more than see an autobowstringer or an autorc'er (I've seen them at cosmic, chaos, law and nature altars) with scores higher than mine. :evil: :shame:

Well I did send in a query to Jagex and they admitted that they have a backlog of reports in the game. :( So if there are almost as many real players as there are bots then it would be gigantic task to ban the autoers.

Wow, I'm impressed that they admitted that.

 

 

 

I'm really hoping that they managed to nip the problem in the bud, they don't seem to be going about it the right way.

 

 

 

I'm praying that their moves to make the Grand Exchange, tighten up Player Parties and staking are all preludes to Quest-Locking normal player to player trade

I did this one time a year ago. Followed 5 miners when they were at around level 60 - 65.

 

 

 

They were not banned before one of them had hit 99 mining, the other once were banned at around 90 - 94.

 

 

 

Go figure how much cash they made..

I knew that the bots earned much money, but that is...An amazing amount of gp! 140M...That's so much!

 

And yes, you have made me mad at Jagex.

I was already pissed at jagex for not making it harder to create an account or making it easier to ban macroers.....

 

 

 

But yeh now i know how much they earn i want to slash them myself....

 

 

 

Perhaps organize a tip.it reporting raid?

Lol, "Bot Pimps". Funny word.

The funny thing is that there are also other autoers including those 20 green drag autoers you saw. There're probably at least another 20 yew autoers, at least 10 fishing guild autoers, probably still a few ess autoers, and a couple other dragon killers. They make up probably 1/3 of the population :-# NOT GOOD!!

 

 

 

However, although Jagex has lied when they say they keep them under control, they are trying. They cannot simply keep banning because they will only lose more possible created names and space on their own servers dealing with names and looks of human players. By avoiding that whole section and cutting directly to real-world trading (the reason why autoers auto), they can reduce high amounts of autoers and sweatshop workers. Now everyone's complaining that it's such a bad idea, but in actuality, it's not such a bad one. Jagex does not have many other options if they want to keep the economy stable and stop cheaters.

Actually I do feel that Jagex does ban a lot of autoers, the problem is that they just make new ones. :lol: I don't have any real solution to *that* problem, I mean how do you stop people from manking new accounts unless you remove the game altogether.

You remove the purpose of making them.

If these people can afford to pay them for those long hours, it just proves that real world trading goes on a lot more than the RS community knowing.

 

 

 

It also shows that recent updates to try and get rid of it has not been effective at all.
