BOTS HAVE FOUND A LOOP HOLE!! (HELP!)

[Bradley_006]

The title is infact correct, posted on a bot site is info that bots have only JUST realised a loop hole using the Grand Exchange to trade gold to other players.

 

 

 

It requires the other player to already have gold though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) The buyer of gold puts Eg. 500k Feathers on the Grand Exchange at maximum price. The bot then buys them all at maximum price. (No one else tries to sell at maximum price and so the buyer makes money) This can be done with ANY item.

 

 

 

2) Bots are coming back as we speak, my friend has noticed two bots at willows and one is fishing shrimp.

 

 

 

3) Someone please tell JaGeX this who is a member, i am not a member they don't listen to F2P-ers lol =|

 

 

 

I have no idea how successful this will be, but they are attempting it.

 

 

 

Hope it doesn't work and they move on to another game.

 

 

 

Discuss.

It won't work, who's to say the bot doesn't buy someone elses feathers?

 

 

 

Just to mess with these noobs i'm gonna go buy some feathers and put them in ge at max price now.

 

 

 

It could perhaps work once or twice, but once this is well known about it will be totally useless.

[raylifes]

Not going to happen unless they pick an item which is never traded, since the GREX would automaticly look for lower sellers first...

[Bradley_006]

It won't work.

 

 

 

I hope it won't, but it might. =[ they are coming back to try it.

[tazo6114]

keeping in mind that for this to work, the person buying the gold not only needs to pay money for the gold, but also has to get the materials to sell, which will either cost them money to get, or a lot of time to get (in your example of 500k feathers)

Not if you change the price range up?

[Lets_3ekout]

I suggest we ban every single account and stop account creation, that way it's impossible to break rules right? *Looks at thread from a few weeks ago where someone said they may as well take out PKing out next* On the other hand, forget I ever said that Jagex.

 

 

 

Without destroying the trade system completely, I seriously can't think of anything Jagex can do about this. Maybe they've wasted their ~6 year old game for nothing? That'd be quite sad if that were the case. It's pretty pathetic people are still trying to RWT though, after seeing the extent Jagex will go to even to make a dint in their efforts. Hell, sometimes it seems Jagex will take their own game down just to go down with RWT's. I've never complained about their decisions, but this whole occurrence is just plain disturbing.

[tazo6114]

I hope they try it, I have 6.5k feathers just sitting there, and i want to sell them, rofl

[Jeffery]

erm no, If people say selling for less the buyer would automaticly get the better deal..

So they just pick an uncommon item.

[Gold_Tiger10]

[so they just pick an uncommon item.

 

Charcoal? Only seriously uncommon for F2P's I can think of...

[nightshade53]

Gah, there are so many items they could do this with. How many people sell waterskins (2)? :|

[qeltar]

I doubt this will work.

 

 

 

The price controls mean that any item locked at its highest price has a list of waiting sellers. As soon as the item is offered to buy at that price, the existing sellers will sell it.

[Jimmyh7]

Where are the gold-buyers going to get millions of waterskins (2)..

 

 

 

This doesn't work, buyers in the GE get the lowest deal open to them, they can't specify who to buy from..

[Dragonlordjl]

There is an even bigger loophole. Now that bots can't transfer GP, they will start powerleveling accounts by either farming low level NPCs like Rock Crabs, or using bots to kill those monsters. (probably the latter, seeing as you can run several bots per computer.) They will also make gp by doing this, and then put the account up for sale, advertising a high level account with money to buy skills. This is potentially worse than the gold transferring problem.

[G_P_Kid]

It simply won't work - the Grand Exchange is too big for it to work. Plus a gold selling site I searched for now sells gold by getting it on YOUR account themselves, sounds real safe, eh?

[yeahyeahyeahs]

is there still bots at the yews at fally since the update? im too lazy to check lol( talking about f2p)

[Armadyllo]

We know that Jagex bans bots, albeit slowly. The problem has always been that the botters kept coming back on new accounts, transferring the wealth to other accounts so that they didn't lose anything when their botted accounts were banned. Jagex would need to ban them before they could transfer their wealth, and they couldn't do it fast enough.

 

 

 

Now that the botters can't pass the items to other accounts, Jagex can take their sweet time banning the accounts, and the items will be lost along with the XP when they do it.

 

 

 

How many people would pay real cash for an account that might have been botted for a week, knowing that it's had a dodgy history that might lead to it being banned at any moment? It's not a safe deal.

[Dragontotem]

rofl eek, 2 bots? :roll:

[brunokiller]

You seem to forget about player owned house treasure chests...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't know if it already got fixed

[epeeflecher]

rofl eek, 2 bots? :roll:

 

 

 

Dude that's like 1 + 1.

Cheaters already thought of this, but Jagex was one step ahead of them. The max you can put into the chest is like 1.5k or something IIRC.

[jondea0]

Jagex's plans are futile, its human nature they are just really short-sighted. the RWT's are always going to find loopholes. waste of time by jagex and they are decking the game at the same time

[Dexek]

There are still vague possibilities, but much slower and less appealing then before the update. I am sure Jagex is thinking up new ways to monitor training for account sales, or something along those lines. Until then, report the bots.. :?

I was going to say the same thing. Also theres no way to be sureyou're buying from the bot.

 

 

 

Some 'loophole'...
