Panzerlord Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Okay, so I'm at Aviansies trying to make a bit of cash, y'know. Anyway, I go there and see BOTS BOTS BOTS everywhere. But I figure "eh, my range is decent, I can outshoot them."Turns out they like to move as a swarm and when they all move at the same time, I lag VERY hard.Turns out when I lag very had next to a Saradomin Spiritual Mage, I die.gf 2m <_< "Don't push me; what's the hurry?" - Imogen Heap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 That does suck. We seriously need a botting sticky on this thread. ~~~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...
D. V. Devnull Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'll go ya one better... I think we need a whole board (or sub-board) for anti-bot stuff. That way, the whole TIF Community can collaborate and start helping rid RuneScape of these damn [bleep] bots. :twisted: ~D. V. "Just a thread? No! You're thinking too small!" Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.)

Devnull I completely agree. OP, aviansies aren't great for money OR ranged exp, especially not with competition from bots. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

I_am_Not Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i'm sure most are sick of the threads rather than the bots themselves If you quote me please be sure to note that I'm extremely mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i'm sure most are sick of the threads rather than the bots themselves Yeah, bots don't bother me at all but 9/10 threads in general discussion are about bots so they annoy me indirectly.

Crocefisso Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think the title is pretty accurate. I for one am completely fed up with them.

Lose No Hope Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Should implement a sub-board under rants to host the botting threads. I understand where the posters are coming from, but seeing a dozen threads like this gets annoying.

Cacmypants Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 You don't have to kill aviansies for money, just stay away from bot-heavy areas. omg that's horribly impressive...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbHEFJT42i8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mylez Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Bots can be very annoying, and while Jagex "ASSURES" us they are doing plenty about it, there are other ways to chip in. A few of the tif members, and indeed some RSOF members often go bot hunting with the help of Jagex Staff. These trips can be good fun, you see the immediate effect of the Ban Hammer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mylez Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well that is true. This is where I feel Jagex could improve, there isn't much we can do, as players. Even player mods only have the power to mute and pass usernames on. It must be quite easy for a member of Jagex staff to get hold of the scripts used by botters and run searches, match them to accounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Eggs Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I noticed these while I was doing solo armadyl gwd. They pissed me off to no end. I assumed that with 99 ranged, full armadyl, rune crossbow, diamond bolts (e), and a zammy book I should easily be able to out damage the level 70-90s in rune legs, a d hide body, rune full helm (arma), and a granite shield, right? Apparently not... I'd start fighting an aviansie, 2-3 bots would run up and attack it, it dies in seconds and I get no killcount for it. Took me much longer for killcount on each trip than it should have. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocefisso Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Well that is true. This is where I feel Jagex could improve, there isn't much we can do, as players. Even player mods only have the power to mute and pass usernames on. It must be quite easy for a member of Jagex staff to get hold of the scripts used by botters and run searches, match them to accounts... True, but as bot software becomes increasingly complex, Jagex has to work harder and harder to try and keep up. This was always going to happen if Jagex relaxed the restrictions it imposed back in 07/08; the perpetual battle against bots cannot be won by simply trying to outdo their software. But, hey, we can just live with them I suppose. :???: "Imagine yourself surrounded by the most horrible cripples and maniacs it is possible to conceive, and you may understand a little of my feelings with these grotesque caricatures of humanity about me." - H.G.
