ixfd64 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 During the last few weeks, there have been a lot of bots (I think) at the willow trees in Draynor, and it was very difficult to compete with them. However, the number of them seems to have gone down a lot in the last few days. So did I miss a mass ban or something? :-) I checked the RuneScape website but could find no mention of any such action.

dargonhuman Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Possibly; Jagex hasn't announced things like that for a while now. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!) Irony: An amnesiac rediscovering they have an eidetic memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Usually after an update, bots die down for a few days, and then start right back up. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yeah, the bots seem to be thriving once again in the LRC after a small dip in frequency last week.

meili Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I haven't seen any recently but then again I haven't been to the botting spots. Botting will probably increase exponentially now that free trade is back. The Runescape Wilderness - Meili's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helm_Lardar Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Do Jagex announce mass banns? I'm pretty sure they do it quietly so that people don't think the only time they ban is when they announce. In any case, the last mass ban I can remember was for people abusing an enchant dragonstone bolt tips glitch. That was really just to highlight the jagex policy on bug abuse. I'm not an efficienado.

In any case, the last mass ban I can remember was for people abusing an enchant dragonstone bolt tips glitch. That was really just to highlight the jagex policy on bug abuse.They do it quietly to hide the fact that they don't really give a flying [bleep].After an update, [removed] and [removed] clients both need to be updated to match any new things that have entered the game.This only takes a few hours however, you must've been woodcutting at the right time. :thumbup: Edited March 6, 2011 by Racheya Don't name bot sites!

Huzzah Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Why would you be friends with a botter? Gross. On either note, I don't think Jagex even really bans bots anymore. As long as they pay their monthly fees they don't seem to care like they used to. If they did they could take action against the sites ran by the creaters couldnt they?

Alphanos Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 by "his friend" he means himself. i'm admiring that unranked WC there bro That's probably just due to the excess of woodcutting bots outranking him.

Fairness Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Jagex doesn't ban bots anymore. Last time they tried, 2007 and the dark ages of RuneScape happened. (Because all those botters were resorting to credit card fraud to keep going, or something, so the credit card companies threatened to take action directly against Jagex. Now Jagex lets bots exist, so bots no longer need credit card fraud to sustain themselves - everyone is happy.) Though it would make more sense for them to announce mass bans and ban like 200 accounts each time, to make it seem like they care. Right now it is obvious they don't, or are bluffing about their detection abilities at the least. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iiLy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The bots just have to be re-scripted for the new log in screen and startup menu. It is a very simple task that will only take maybe a day or two for the bot programmers to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
