Stev Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Whether the screeny is fake or not, would you honestly be surprised? This is Jagex we're talking about people. They still think their bot detection system works. They're the most least knowledgeable about their own game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langer Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I still say Jagex needs a symbol next to a caught bots name to denote that player as a bot. Jagex still get the membership money and people have less incentive to bot the more time consuming tasks. I've been saying that for years...I have a feeling that lots of people dismissing the idea would find themselves with a symbol attached to them...

Amethyst_Gem Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/fixedj.png/ I fixed the OP for you. Are you gonna claim that that is what you actually posted now? As that's exactly the same sort of thing that you are claiming of Mod Mark H in your original post.

WolfieMario Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 This was posted a while back at Zybez, shortly after the time the image was created. People couldn't find any record of it in MMH's posts, and it was so recent at the time that the page 51 monster couldn't have come close to touching it (honestly, for a topic with a J-mod saying something like that, wouldn't you think it would get a load of posts immediately after?). Someone pointed out MMH's last post was May 9th at the time (whereas this is dated the 31st, and this observation was made on June 8th). They also mentioned that the British spelling of rumor is "rumour". Personally, I also think its fake because the spacing is off - the middle paragraph is too far to the right, and a little too high as well, making it seem like the actual middle paragraph was edited out and replaced with what we have here. In other words, I think only "Dear Players," and "~MMH~" weren't edited, and the date was likely copied from another mod's post. Lastly, these are pathetically easy to fake:QFC: 129-130-241-62642440 EDIT: Damn, ninja'd by Amethyst. But to be fair, the OP actually said "Probably a fake" :rolleyes: Fake Awards:(The large number is the amount of awards I have gotten; only 8 are shown above. Click to see all of them.)

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 QFC: 129-130-241-62642440 I'm disappointed in myself that I got Markrolled. @Wicked_: Honestly no. But the thing is, we've known about this kind of crap for ages. Posting fake pics isn't the best way to "warn the masses", of course. That's all I'm getting at.

I think that and permanent removal from hi-scores would be enough deterrent for anyone who's not just gold farming with the intent of RWT. 99 farm easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakaan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Jagex should try something simple, like getting rid of random events but implementing something in their place. Something that a bot can't do, like a Captcha code, and then if the bot can't do it after say a minute, they're sent to a "black hole", like long ago where people got banned to (iirc). Then you stay in the black hole for as long as it takes you to type a few Captcha codes, or you could get banned, that's up to Jagex. Come support my max total goal here. Briobe122's 10-step guide to staking:1. Get cleaned2. Vow to never stake ever again! (very important)3. welfare tds and get claws4. kill glacors til i get boots5. bandos ffa or more tds til i have around 50m6. realize that it is far too hard to rebuild using steps 3, 4, and 57. give up the vow to never stake again8. go back staking and make your bank back9. if you failed at step #8, Go back to step #110. if you succeed at step #8, you will eventually feel the need to make money for rich people stuff, have a bad day of staking, then get cleaned anywaysPain is just weakness leaving the body.

brunokiller Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'd rather solve captcha's than random events to be honest. My blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonlordjl Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 RSC used a CAPTCHA system called Fatigue, and it gobbled giraffe gonads. It was completely ineffective and was far more inconveniencing than random events ever were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strilmus Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I kind of miss my sleeping bag, though...I would have held onto it as a keepsake. I still say the game as a whole has to shift in order to make botting less profitable, but of course nobody's going to ever take that chance since we know they can't handle anything above "remove free trade" and "put back free trade".

This game is one of the grindiest, most simplistic RPGs out there so naturally it will have problems with bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutters Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's probably already been said, but only P2P clanmates count towards the quota for citadels. And, I may be wrong on this, but I think they said it takes a week for each tier advancement. I'll have to go look back at that, but that's quite a bit in membership fees, even if the botmaster only enables P2P as it's needed on the accounts. Well, plus, there's the continual costs if they wish to keep their T7 citadel. And obviously SOME bots get banned, so they might have to regularly replace them... But then they would of course just sell GP made to pay the fees... If someone raises and pays for an army of bots just for their citadel I shall congratulate them for the largest and most decadent act of RS antisociality I've ever heard of. It's possible as well that if citadels are really that awesome bot 50-packs will become another item on goldfarmers' shelves... If they're not already. I dunno, bot army start-up kits? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
