sirroflcat Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Well... I was pondering a post that a previous user posted about how to stop botting.. When this came to mind... Why not everytime you log in jagex has a question of the day.It would be random everytime you log in.The bots wouldnt be able to cope to all these questions (as they are being created each day.) Quite the simplex idea. but it could work. Jagex would be able to use the question for.. Safety tips, polls, funny questions, puns, current updates? This would benefit jagex in everyway (if their goal to elimnate botting is truely existant) (Heres my Very very very bad version of what it would look like) Remember. It Could be anything jagex comes up with, Polls, questions, comment box Option 2 Sure, A human could log in and then setup the bot. But the person would not be able to bot for more than six hrs at a time. (Due to the auto-logout)I also say they implement a time on the chat box.. if you dont type something within (1hr) than a question is issued? Any ideas?

Sir_Squab Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Not gonna lie, I think this might be one of the better plans I've seen. But unless Jagex basically makes it into a captcha, bot makers will eventually program in the answer to all the questions. If Jagex makes a new question each day, the answer has to be in a very easy to find place so that regular players can enter the answer and get on with their day, which the bots could easily use. If it was a random pieces of information just listed somewhere, you'd get regular players not being able to play because they themselves can't deal with it. At any rate, half of the botting problem lies in the fact that Jagex isn't willing to cut out the botting problem at the cost of cutting out the revenue the bots generate. Still, some sort of captch to stop bots has some sort of merit to it. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

TTanT Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 However, couldn't a bot user simply manually log their bot in before running it?

Chat tiemr would be undone by a bot that ahs an autotyper built in. Just have it say "I love woodcutting" every half an hour. And admittedly it could stifle botting to a degree, but botters would adapt as well. (Aka swing by to log their bots back in ever morning and evening.) It would slow them down though, which is good. It wouldn't stop it outright at all, though. Just make it a bit less convenient. The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance.

I don't believe there is a plan to stop botting that wouldn't inconvenient legit players.. bots are made to be exactly like other players (action wise)How can you stop botting without inconveniencing other players its impossible because bots are human like.

Guest jrhairychest Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 A decent suggestion. I'll take a little inconvenience any day over bots. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Mage Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 FurbyOCR and LeoSleep easily bypassed all captchas on sleeping bags in classic. Sites like decaptcha.com charge $2 per 1000 captchas which easily voids any captcha based anti-botting solution. You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
