May 5, 201115 yr I never would but if I ever were to bot, Dungeoneering would be top of my list. I hate it with a passion yet I need to do it for the awesome rewards. Oh well *Starts listening to the drunk tank and carries on with mediums* Notable solo drops: x3 Bandos boots, x2 Dragonic Visage, x2 Bandos Tassets, x1 Bandos Hilt, x1 Bandos Chestplate
May 6, 201115 yr Tempted, but never did it. All my levels were done by me using legitimate methods (which is why I have such low stats - although not implying that people with higher stats bot). As for this topic there's obviously a bias involved. Don't think many would even admit to even being tempted in a public board.
May 6, 201115 yr I've had offers to do fight caves and quests for people which I've considered. And of course every time I go mining or something and see all the bots I think of all the hours/annoyance saved. I've not botted though.I'll admit its tempting to go pick up a fire cape for someone for a cool 10$ profit, which would only take a few minutes. Oh well.
May 6, 201115 yr I've never been tempted to cheat. I have an extremely strong sense of morality which I rigidly stick to. The downside is that I tend to expect others to stick to the same moral guidelines, which, unfortunately, doesnt tend to happen.
May 6, 201115 yr Author i have never tried to scam even if i had chance to receive huge profit...yes i have used macro short time in may 2001 when rs was new thing and friends told about how they can macro mining (as there were no bots or such back then, only mouse recorders..no straight rules, no punished examples etc) but got punished and sent to blackhole...after i got out i became 100% legit player and still havent event thought cheating. because my case was new in this game back then, final judgement was done by Andrew himself and he gave me 2nd chance...i was very lucky because everyone after me got peramently banned without chance of return I remember that. It was epic how you got out of there. :D ARENAscape: Baratus [AS] max hit: 166 with Moon Battle Hammer ixfd64 [AS] max hit: 116 with (untitled spell #2)
May 6, 201115 yr Nope. Even tho some of my skills, RC for example, has only moved about 210k xp since it was introduced, i wouldn't bother with making it if you said "right, here you go". If i lost absolutely everything on my account, would i cheat if i could? No. Either i would say good night to RS, or i'd dig up the old bronze axe and work my way back in the mines. The old needle trick in rsc was fantastically fun when you traded some players. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé
May 10, 201115 yr Honestly, I've never been tempted to cheat. I don't want to get my account that I worked hard on for years banned.
May 11, 201115 yr Author That may be inethical, but I wouldn't call it cheating. ARENAscape: Baratus [AS] max hit: 166 with Moon Battle Hammer ixfd64 [AS] max hit: 116 with (untitled spell #2)
May 12, 201115 yr Never cheated, never would. And although I find cheating wrong, that is not why I personally refrain. The reason I do not cheat is because I would derive zero satisfaction from doing so. Levels gained via cheating? Meaningless. The reward is the journey, not the destination.

The reason I do not cheat is because I would derive zero satisfaction from doing so. Levels gained via cheating? Meaningless. The reward is the journey, not the destination. That explains something. Most of us does not find griding exciting, thats why we call it "griding" in the first place.People find bugs like the penguin bug or scamming temping, because then they can spend less time on the boring grinding for exp or money and more time for what they like in the game (maybe its pking or other activites for them). AFK was againest the rules and it was considered cheating. The same applies to scams by "providing false or inaccurate information, for your own personal gain", although disputeable.(http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=Rules_of_RuneScape&diff=1268795&oldid=1248109)We used to cheat by pressing random keys in chat while doing something else, afking in bandits and striking with magic on lv1 critters with full melee amour, in order to bypass the auto logout.We still get the satafction after we throw a 99 party, the reason is exactly because we dont enjoy the progress. Even if we bot or macro the levels, we still consider the time we used on griding not playing is a lot of sacrifice. Speaking of that, most of us cheat in MA by suiciding. If you consider jagex as the casino house, rewards are the payouts and we are the gamblers. Its a clear case we are cheating (collusion) while not breaking any game rules.

May 12, 201115 yr Never cheated, bug abused, drop trade or anything of the sort. RS is just a game. Why cheat on something so trivial? Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...

Grinding away in silence would no doubt be boring and uninteresting. However you have opportunities to meet people, make friends, things of this nature. That is the key element which people who cheat miss out on.

May 12, 201115 yr Lol, just got another warning for a post in this thread. Fine, let me contribute to this topic in the way the mods would like me to: I've never been tempted to cheat ever in RS, I'm such a good little player. I've never scammed someone in RSC or ever duped items. 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving. Jagex'd out of my untrimmed hp cape on 6/14/2011.
May 12, 201115 yr Looks like mine got deleted too... An 'honest discussion', okay... I've 'never cheated and/or scammed someone, or used a bot, or done anything but abide by the rules at all times... .... I've always never cheated on my wife'... Honesty is the best policy.

This is TIF. What on earth did you expect? Lol. The mods have stated many times that you can say, "I was thinkin' about botting," but nothing along the lines of, "I botted a while back." This is TIF... They live in the same cotton-candy land as Jagex where they cover there eyes to the real world and plug their ears to believe that nothing goes wrong and there's no bad people in the world. Odd thing is, TIF gives more of a rats ass then Jagex does about their own rules. Lol.
May 14, 201115 yr Honestly yes, I've been tempted to bot previously when my irl buddy "achieved" 99 woodcutting using a bot. Although, I never have or will I ever utilise a bot to acquire better stats or coins.
May 15, 201115 yr I've wasted 9 years of my life (on and off) on this game. The thought of risking it... hah. Why bother playing if I'm not actually playing. :|
May 18, 201115 yr Never cheated, bug abused, drop trade or anything of the sort. RS is just a game. Why cheat on something so trivial? Why cheat on something so trivial? As opposed to cheating on something substantial? Please God tell me you don't cheat your taxes and on your girlfriend or wife. If you cheat death then it's cool.
May 18, 201115 yr Just a note... But anyone seen the price of Tzhaar items? Look up "Obsidian" in the Grand Exchange database. Just a bit shocked when my brother said the shield was 26K. Lol.

Isnt that caused by dragon defender? Dragonfire is in a pretty bad shape too. Not really, since people using the obsidian shield probly couldn't use a dragon defender. And as for the dragonfire, the release of frost dragons has driven the price of visages through the floor with all the people (and bots) camping frost dragons 24/7.
