misterxman Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 This has been an awesome story to follow. The rage on the rs bot forums is hilarious. Nice job Jagex. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thing is about other bots devs still out there:A vast amount of the other bots were simply repacks of the rsbuddy base system then their own scripts.If they now lack a working rsbuddy base system to repack, are they gonna last? Cause there was no strong proof they could create a bot base from scratch prior to this change, let alone now.

lordkafei Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 So, was Jacmob the source of the email addresses that Jagex mailed notices to? If I were Jacmob, Id read the fine print of my contact with Jagex very carefully. Theyve reneged on similar promises before.

TTanT Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 And in one foul swoop all of my favorite Runescape activities are possible again.... At this rate I'm gonna get re-addicted. :ohnoes: The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance.

Ellac Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I was just standing at Daemonheim, the previous banking hub for a good bunch of Nature RC bots.I saw a bot log in. Then another. Then a third, a fourth and a fifth. I got worried that bots might be returning. Then they all disappeared. All 5 bots that had logged in and tried to RC just went *poof*. Gone. They were gone so fast I didn't have time to report them. It was wonderful. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sona Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 This is unexpected, and rather impressive. Though I doubt Jacmob was secretly working undercover for Jagex. What is probable was Jagex sat down with him and made him an offer he couldn't possibly refuse - :rolleyes: No, really. Jagex don't have the resources to sue all the botters, but they sure as heck have the resources to sue him. Were I in the same boat, I think I'd probably take the deal too.

Peronix Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We are RSBots.net. We are legion. Expect us. I love it. They've sunk to 4chan slogans. Nothing like a good internet meme to stir up fervent loyalty from your unsuspecting customer base of 14 year olds in a time of crisis, while milking them for all they're worth before jumping ship.

Crossed_Body Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Lied through his teeth, and he sold out to Jagex.

RU_Insane Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Here's another surprise: Jacmob developed a bot client that worked after the Bot Nuke. As sources on that forum have it, Jacmob took his bot client to RuneFest, showed it working with no problems in front of the mods (he had balls to do that, huh?) . Mod MMG et al. freak out. The two parties then discussed related matters privately and he apparently came out of the meeting with a job. :lol: Lucky guy. He'd been making cash selling scripts beforehand, now he has a legit career. Like others, I'm thinking he was threatened with legal action if he released the client. Either way, I wouldn't reject that job offer. He's making bank now. RIP RU_Insane. August 3rd, 2005 - November 11th, 2012.

Either way, I wouldn't reject that job offer. He's making bank now. Fairly certain I read a quote from Mark on the RSOF (Probably eaten by Page 51) that said he'd offer a Job to a developer if they managed to get a bot up and running with 14 days. I'll dig further. "Well, if they do it in 14~28 days as promised I'll offer them jobs at Jagex, but then again, they said they would be backup in a few hours a few days ago.Alternatively, instead of a career at Jagex or McDonalds if more relevant, they could more likely end up spending their time in those lovely orange jumpsuits with the nice writing on the back EDIT: So many exciting possibilities, only time will tell.

Mercifull Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 If.. and its a big if... Jacmob got a bot client working properly for more than an hour or two then its highly likely he broke some of Jagex's patented technologies to do so and would be ins serious legal troubles had he released it.

Jacmob got a bot client working properly for more than an hour or two then its highly likely he broke some of Jagex's patented technologies to do so and would be ins serious legal troubles had he released it. I think that's a major point of this new update.It certainly doesn't make coding a bot impossible it just:1) Makes it much harder to code2) Makes it much easier to detect when running3) Involves infringements on Jagex patents that make it much much easier to sue the dev with very little legal ambiguity and loopholes for them to escape in Hence ruining the whole business model really as between extra workload, more angry customers from bans and very clear legal infractions to make it work it kinda would evaporate profitability.

They were gone so fast I didn't have time to report them.It was wonderful.Wait, how did you know they were bots?I have seen this happen a bit too, and it's pretty easy to tell a bot when their name is 'hygjrogm tyhf'. My expectation is that goldfarming companies are logging into all of their accounts to take stock of how many they have left after the massive number of bans last week. I went looking around a few goldselling sites to see if there were any signs of slowing down. A couple of them had no mention of the bot nuke, and a few actually said that they never used bots and were always human controlled. While I don't really believe that, it made me think; if gold farmers have to move from bots to real humans, will the price of gold jump back up? That last time that the goldfarming army was 'human' in any noticeable capacity would be back in 06/07 before free trade, and that's when gold was $5/M.

Carl Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 What's wrong with it?Apart from the distinguishable severe character flaws that might become a problem in the future? Nothing at all. Yes, being human is a severe character flaw. Seeing an opening for profit is huge sin and something no-one can ever change from. Telling these kids you're bringing your bot back in 3 days certainly questions that humanity! Taking a job offer because you're very well educated in that line of work after profiting from something along the same lines - acting somewhat as the competition, is a horrible act. You are right. (Note Regarding comment a few lines above: He stated they would be happy to refund any payment from 7 days after the announcement of the "Bot Nuke", but not before it.)
