Has anyone been to Green Dragons? Red Dragons? ANY dragons? Are there still marauding herds of ill-equipped people, wearing d skits and granite platebodies swarming every Black Demon in Taverly?

 

:unsure:

 

Checked out dragons between classes. There are hordes of people in d shirts, granite platebodies, whips, and etc.

 

But I think that might be due to this newfangled 3x slayer EXP thing that's going on. :mellow:

Wel that sucks, I hope it's just the slayer bonus...

99 Strength 99 Fletching 99 Range 99 Hitpoints 99 Attack

99 Dungeoneering <3 99 Magic 99 Smithing 99 Herblore

99 Theving

Slayer Drops: 14 whips, 22 D boots, 27 Granite Mauls, 42 Effigies, 5 Dark Bows.

What would be cool is if Drakan and his minions kill all the sig heroes in the quest except Raptor who is wrecking. You and him team up and cave in some vampyre heads. He becomes a total bro in future quests and in a GM quest he receives a fatal injury and his last dying words to you are "Brofist, mang"

So how long until resources crash again since it seems this did not work?

SWAG

 

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

... and are the bots actually stopped?

 

I haven't seen any reports on here yet that indicate they have been.

 

That's because the people on here have the common sense to grasp that it will be a day at the minimum before anyone can say anything of the sort...

 

Not saying you don't have common sense, just that's why you're not getting the instant gratification you're seeking so desperately.

 

 

Well - if I didn't know any better, I'd say that I was just insulted. :shame:

 

... and I think my point is valid. So far, I've seen nothing to indicate that bots aren't working. And I have seen NO evidence whatsoever that any accounts have been banned.

 

And considering the "hype" surrounding a "BOT NUKE" scenario, one would think that such indications would be broad-based and instantaneous. That is, you know, one of the principals of a "nuke".

 

This seems more like a "bot war on terror", that's going to dredge on for years and years ... :rolleyes:

We will not know how much damage this did to bots until at least tomorrow. Soon, we'll know if it's truly a PR move or really something that'll affect the game in the long run.

 

Either way, the game goes on.

Got a steel task, went pretty well until these two guys appeared. I was about to outclick them for them dragons while maging them for the most part. When I had to leave to bank because I was low on supplies and came back, they kept taking all of my drags because of messed up aggro mechanics that prevents you from attacking a drag if another random dragon attacks you from far away. So annoying <_<

 

It even got to the point where I couldn't outclick them on dragons that were aggroing me and were on top of them while they were meleeing :angry:

 

Ended up dying because I was focusing on trying to get a stupid dragon and then a ran out of super anti. I have suspicion that they were running some sort of...autoclicking bot because I refuse to believe that someone can be that faster than me every single time :rolleyes:

I'd say that Kimberly has a point. You're actually making soundbites now and making huge assumptions. Be patient, and we'll come to a consensus once all of the hype has died down.

I'm assuming this is going to fail, at least not be as sucessful as Jagex things. But we'll see

I told you I wasn't trying to insult you. If you manufactured insult from my post, I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry. :/

 

Hype, definitely part of the issue with this update. Just look at the countdown timer, the tweets, the 'celebratory perks'... It is kind of silly, regardless of how successful this update may or may not be yet. We all knew that 98% was too high a figure to be correct, especially since we all saw how well the 'fantastic frost dragon fix' went.

 

For every bit of evidence to the contrary, I see people saying they're still seeing bots. So really, we have nothing conclusive to say what's happened either way. What's wrong with waiting a small bit? Surely there are other aspects to talk about this update instead of fixating on the one thing no one knows for certain yet....

Well from a brief glance around I saw one bot (Or a person in dmed, granite pl8 and d skirt anyway) headed to tav dungeon, but I didn't see it once there because blue drags and blk demons are packed with legit slayers. Oh, and I don't see any rcing bots in castle wars. This was done in world 52 if you need to know, I gtg now but that was just a brief survey thus far.

Not necessarily. Could be a fresh bought account that was botting, an actual (chinese) goldfarmer, someone trying to troll (I might of if I was a member). Or It could just be an autoclicker/color bot. Don't forget they said 98% of bots.

We wont be able to say if the update did any lasting damage for a week or so. As I understand it right now, none of the reflection or injection bots are able to connect to the game at all, so they did more then just tweak game code to mess with the scripts. The servers are actively denying the bot programs.

 

If they don't come right back in a week or two, then Jagex has won, at least for now. After that, its a ticking clock till they find a way around it and Jagex invents even better ways to deny them.

Go to Ghorrock.

Wow I barely went up any ranks, and went down in rc and stayed the same in dung. Nice bans, now all those bots are going to say they did everything legit or they'd get banned.

 

When bots are back up, people won't be afraid to use them, because Jagex won't punish you at all. If they care about money just roll them back.

Bleh wherever i want to click I need to move my mouse lower then where it is supposed to be, it is a mac specific problem i believe and i am using the client! i tried switching some things but then when I dungeoneer, random black lines appear after every door is opened haha, any suggestions?

 

What graphics "mode" are you on? I hear there are some bugs with DitectX mode. Try changing that setting around, they say OpenGL is your best bet.

Yeah i just looked around, the problem is fixed when i switch to software mode, and i play on minimum settings, but when i try to dungeoneer the black lines show up after every door is opened which is annoying, im going to try to look around some more.

Just click on the "auto setup" mode and it is fixed ;)

I've actually seen a few legit players wearing "bot" gear. Either trolling or poor :P. They have all replied when I asked "bot"?

Apparently according to twitter RiD bots are still working. Now I've not heard of them before today (are they the 2% jagex cant detect?) but from what I gather it reads the screen and uses AI to control the mouse :S
