Bots are making a come-back

[anonymouse_]

I'll go and join the soul wars people and catch some bots, I've never gone bot hunting at sw so I'll have to find a method of trapping them or reducing their activity bar.

 

Does anyone know a method of trapping soul wars bots? If anyone does could they please post it, thanks.

Gl getting caught up in the mass bans, jmods are still camping there

what is this... I don't even?

 

 

 

Sorry. That's all I could possibly make out. How do you trap any bot? I don't think bots even exist in Runescape. Maybe if before you could not do that so when the thing is after the when everything comes to the beginnning which is what i am not almost even going to even be what i never thought you could be. So, on the contrary, it's quite hard.

I'm sorry your bot hunting level is not high enough to hunt soulwars bots. You need atleast 85 bothunting in order to hunt soul wars bots.

Nice move Jagex, hoping that will clear out the scum from this game if only for a short period. Kudos to Jagex for doing it, but major letdown that they let the situation get to this point.

 

Would also be nice if a lot of high level slayers got banned from this, that would clear out some training spots. I might pay a visit to red chins if the botters are too scared to log these days.

 

I pretty much feel the same way.

 

I only started to notice this trend from the past year and I'm just surprised that it took Jagex this long to finally post it out.

30-40%? I thought it was more like 80-90% <_<

Uh... Well there goes a good source of exp (for now) those nubby 1def pures were perfect training dummies for all three styles + the zeals you get.

 

Ice Blitzing them used to be a looot of fun

I just want to add a few things to this topic, but I feel that people will judge me before they read what I say. So know this: I do not bot, I have never botted, and I don't like bots either. That said, I do frequently read many cheating websites so that I can get a feel for the underworld culture of Runescape and why they do what they do, where they're training, how they're training, and other things. Here's what I've learned:

 

1. People that bot are generally running between 1-3 bots at a time, with some running upwards of 5 or 6.
   
2. While this whole mass ban at SW has been a major hit to the morale of the botting community, they are now back at it with the supposed "news" that the images posted on the PMod forums were fake.
   
3. Popular bots include Thieving, Sorc Garden, Hunting, Fishing, Mining, Essence Mining, of course, Soul Wars.
   
4. There are only a few main bots: kMiner is the current most popular mining bot, AutoFighter (including all NX products), RSBots, OEMBots, Perfect, and Power-bot. These few bots are the most widely used, and aren't that good.
   
5. To be fair, Jagex has some faults, such as allowing appeals for randomly generated replies. The botters include a few keywords in whatever order they want, add some flavor text, and they get unbanned automatically.
   
6. One botting site is coming out with a Quest bot. It's in beta now, but it will be able to complete all F2P quests automatically. It will even be buying stuff from the GE if you need it to. This is scary on many levels.
   
7. Gold selling and junk trading are bigger issues than botting, believe me.
   
8. If you hate botting, don't go to LRC, either. There are tons there, including high level mains.
   

 

I would link to several sites, but I feel that the mods wouldn't like that. As it is, I'm worried of being yelled at because I posted the names of common bots, but I feel that if I don't out them to the public that didn't already know of them, Jagex will be more likely to see it and stop it. Think of botters as cockroaches: turn on the lights, and they scatter.

 

This is information for people to use so that they can fight autoers and so they can report them more easily. You will see common patterns amongst the bots, like pausing at doors, or if you close a door just before the bot gets to it they will stop for a while. We need greater protections against these, and Jagex needs to make the fight more public. Botters aren't afraid, and that's a major disadvantage for Jagex. If people are afraid, like they were with the mass bans at Soul Wars, botting will decline greatly. There were people that said "Jagex does it manually and they do it once every couple of months, so basically if you bot between those periods, you're fine." That's not good for anybody.

 

Stay vigilant, and report bots. Just one person reporting a bot can get the bot banned for life.

Saying that only makes you look more like a botter :shame:

I don't think you should be giving specific names here, and the first 4 or 5 are the same thing, just resellers of the same bots for the most part :shame:

Jagex needs to make money too. And I am sick of these wbm's running around asking bot? bot? and lighting fires in front of me whenever I train fm. Just gtfo ffs

Nice post Wolfe, I also feel that the issue should be made more public. Don't let botter-loving (I usually spell that without the loving at the end) tip.iters try to discredit you. Especially when they are contradicting themselves saying that knowledge of botting sites make you look like a botter, then showing they know more about those botting sites...

I never contradicted myself. I said that being defensive from the start about not botting makes you look more like a botter. Please go back to school and learn some reading comprehension before you post :thumbup:

Yes everyone who doesn't care about the bots and isn't butthurt is a botter himself, great thinking!

 

Also @ Sword, the picture from the Mod Forums has proven to be fake.

[MstrMonopoly]

The two bots that I know by name are "Robotz in Disguise" and that one that got shut down. From what I've heard, Robotz are uncatchable and can respond to anything that people say.

Please show me to a school that will make me write one-liners that needs to be read "between the lines" like yours...

I still claim that comprehensive knowledge of the botting community is usually obtained through first hand experience.

You also have been saying a couple times in this thread that you don't bot, following your logic, your defensive behavior indicates your claims are not to be trusted.

 

edit @ Brodly

 

I must assume that your anguish over getting "butthurt" must cause you some pain and is probably clouding your judgement. Don't worry, unless you're form the deep south, you should outgrow that fear.

Then why make statements that are based on something you don't even understand, and must 'read between the lines'? Just doesn't make much sense.

I never made such a claim in this thread because I didn't feel the need to. But feel free to prove me wrong :thumbup:

And this is relevant, how?

[All_Is_Great]

Wow, all I got to say is Wow. Haven't done a black dragon task in several months, so when I got one, I decided to kill the baby blacks in ct.

 

And what do I see? Around TWENTY, that's right, 20! bots, all dressed up in dmed/rune plate/d scim. Levels ranged from high 70s to 128! Several months back, I only saw a couple bots and some regular players there, but this is getting way out of hand.

[langer]

Your accusation of Wolfe could equality have meant that knowing all that stuff about bots made him a suspected botter. You cannot claim your written skills make your one-liners that obvious.

 

I'm not gonna search though 17 pages on this thread plus the multiple other botting threads just to show you something you know to be true but are pretending otherwise.

 

My comment about botting knowledge is a lot more relevant than the discussions between skillers and MHers that appeared on botting threads.

No, not really...

[langer]

Wow, chose a pretty bad moment to show my poor writing skills... I consider my argument still valid, which you avoided discussing.

 

I retract my comment about you claiming to not bot, I had that argument with Howbadisbad, sorry about that.

 

For the sake of arguying, tell me what motivates someone to seek information on how bots run?

The same reason as to why someone would want to know how a car or a computer works: knowledge.

I've never enjoyed skilling, so he fact that it's not all that profitable (not that it ever was in the past) doesn't bother me.

[langer]

What would you guess is the % of people seeking knowledge without personnal gain on their mind?

It's the worst over at green dragons down there. Lots of people there all wearing the same outfits, and they all moved in the same patterns that you really wouldn't expect from an actual player. Actually, they are right next to the baby black dragons.

 

The red chinchompa hunters are obvious, and Jagex has already witnessed the problem over at Soul Wars. But I also sense something suspicious with the miners/fishers in W84 Living Rock Caverns.
