Silmandra Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Jagex, please stop resetting bots? Ban them. Stats are reset to 10 for bots, so you would have to have 10 ranged an prayer, that's why 8 instead of 3. Also, you can get barrows gloves at level 10 defence, Instea 34. Previously, people broke rules just to see the black hole (rs classic). Now people will bot just to have another cool and rare account like this. Thanks in advice for hiding this topic.If you dont want there topocs to be Made, add a rule which bans it. This is my original post on ruescape forums. As i expected, it was hidden (in a few seconds, i recieved only one reply).I would love to swe tip.it being more tolerant or w/e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 actually in classic you paid boot the dwarf like 10 gp and you went to the black hole - you got a disk of returning to get out. So no - people didn't break the rules in classic to "See" the black hole. Infact most cheaters in classic were named and shamed on the front page so people would KNOW they cheated - some are still controversial to this day, like Xxcavalierxx. In Classic Jagex had teeth, whereas now they do not.

Silmandra Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Das, i know about the disk of returning. The disk was acrually added because players broke rules on purpose, just to see it (ofc not on main account). After a while it was discounted, because people Got trappe in the hole after dropping discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Heh no not exactly did you play classic? The dwarf experience mainly had people hack others and drop the disk so they would be stuck - but you could go down there and hand a disk to a stuck friend, it didn't require jagex to teleport you outSince I would say i've played since 2001, and I know what i'm talking about - i'll just leave this link here http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=500 "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.

Triquos Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Unfortunately some topics like that do get locked from time to time with the reason being it's discussing cheaters/bots. I once had a topic explaining I was doing my black dragon slayer task and I decided to kill the baby black dragons instead. So I went to the chaos tunnels to kill them. I couldn't believe how many green dragon bots there were, so I made a topic asking why there were so many bots there, or were they just all coincidentally wearing the same gear and not talking? Sadly the topic was locked and it was apparently 'discussing bots' when in fact 'discussing bots' would be asking/discussing how a bot works, which I was not. I was asking why there were so many bots at an area, which is completely different. Threads are unfairly locked from time to time, and it is sad that there are a few lock-happy mods, but there is nothing you can do about it unfortunately :( To the topic. I do think all this stat-resetting business is encouraging legitimate players to cheat, as it may be considered 'cool' to be a low level with hard to get items. I too, wish Jagex would give harsher punishment to those who decide to cheat, but it is their game in the end, and only we can give them our opinion. The ball is in their court :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmandra Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Das, i admit I haven't. That's what I read on a website.. Once. You must be right then. Triquos, you can post it on tip it! xDThey just hide them so lewa people ser the problem, but if it was widely spread, maybe they would do somethijg about it. Now barrows gloves areny really awesome, you a php pure already has an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE in php ocet other players. You see the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silmandra Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 They do. You can have several items at a lower level then others do. Please don't say they dont it's a obvious lie. If you die with a fire cape u can't get it back ad s lvl8. But barrows gloves: Normal player has gloves at 43 def.Bots can have at 10 def. It's bought from a shop so even if u die so u have an infinite supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the things they do to get rid of them.. annoying random events, unfair bans, and removing old wilderness, removing staking... removing free trade... all for the removal of bots yet they're still here. and now they embrace them.

Mercifull Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It's got absolutely NOTHING to do with Jagex making money from botters paying membership. It's clear that the number of bots is negligible compared to the number of people that actually play legitimately and Jagex recently canned Mechscape at a cost of £10m. They are a very successful business and certainly aren't scrounging for pennies. They don't need the membership from botters.

All_Bogs Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 The entire barrow gloves issue is a pretty big flaw. If the only way to wear them at 10 defence is to break the rules and get your stats reset, it needs to be addressed as soon as possible. I guess putting (appropriate) defence level requirements on the gloves could restore things to how they used to be. Or maybe a 'quest reset' where quests are wiped and all quest-related items are purged, that'd take care of most other issues too...no idea if that'd be feasible though. This was probably just an oversight which slipped through when they came up with the stat reset system, but it's a bit disappointing that it hasn't been corrected yet.

das Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Mod Opinion_based_on _facts_not_heresay_and_rumorlet's see those facts, as a 8 year vetern, i'm concerned and feel jagex needs the money, considering how they used to have teeth.

xpx Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Mod Opinion_based_on _facts_not_heresay_and_rumorYou can't really discuss this topic based on facts as jagex would never go on the record as saying that they are doing this just to get money, because, frankly, it doesn't them any good, and they've never been an honest and trustworthy company, at ease with taking criticism. Thus, all we can do is speculate on the facts that we do have- they used to be very strict with banning people and even changed most of the game to get rid of bots(though, even then, the major reasoning was credit card theft in order to pay for autoing accounts), but after suffering MAJOR losses in the aftermath of the update they have developed a more lenient manner against botting, first removing capital punishment(perm ban) and making bans much, much more lenient, up to now when people don't even get banned for botting, thus remaining their membership intact. From that information it's easy to deduce that as their business model suffered major losses while getting rid of botting, they are not prepared to do it again and are just raking the profit they get from it.

EU Slayer Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I came here expecting to see a pic of a lvl 8 char with a fire cape. I feel lied too :shame: I don't know which mod did this. I don't know why they did it. If they're looking for money, I can tell them I don't have any as I'm a student. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over 4 years of RuneScape. Skills that I have worked hard for and people like them can't take them away. If they give me my particles back now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for them, I will not pursue them. But if they don't, I will look for them, I will find them, and they won't like what'll happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
