Suqi Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I hate the bots while training skills like fishing, woodcutting, mining.. etc all the prices are down. I love the bots while training fletching, magic, herblore... etc all the prices are up.. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merre Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Alright, I'm convinced that I'm about the only one who is not having problems with bots. And I'm a guy who fights monsters A LOT, and I really mean a lot. When I fight monsters, I can always fight them no problem. But I still think it's not easy to tell whether someone is a bot or a legitimate player. Because like someone else pointed out, there are plenty of skills that require you to do the same things over and over again, and just because someone is doing that for hours doesn't mean they're bots, more likely it means that person has a lot of free time on their hands. I think this is funny coming from someone with slayer in 70's and not even maxed cb. I myself think I fight alot, although I'm only 96 slayer. And yes there is a huge problem, but less for the higher leveled players. I just do blue dragons at Kura's cave, so bots can't bother me there and I don't get green or red dragons as tasks.Once I get nechs the problem starts though, in chaos tunnels & in slayer tower the place is packed with bots. Leveling skilling skills is a major pain at certain spots. I need red chins to get my ranged to 99 but it's simply impossible to get a decent success rate at the hunt spots due to at least 2-3 botsattracting the chins... Then people tell me, go hunt jadinko's: way better XP. Agreed but certain people (like me) don't mind losing a little XP if you gain items/cash with it. Because in the end,you will need money for certain skills (herblore, pray, con, sum...) Bots annoy the hell out of me and it annoys me even more that I see the same ****ing bots day after day even after reporting them multiple times a day...What's the use of making reporting easier if the banning/rollbacks don't happen??? 2016 goals: all skills +30mil xp - Completed this goal 11th December 2016 2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I feel like the majority of people who hate bots are the ones who like being really inefficient. Anyone who knows what they're doing wouldn't be hurt by chin/dragon/flax/whatever bots. If anything they benefit from cheap range/craft/fletching xp. The only problem comes from things like frost and nech bots. They make those things less efficient, but it doesn't really matter, cuz then you can just do something more efficient. I'll only be worried when you can't do anything without being interrupted by bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC3 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Honestly, I no longer really care about bots. If people don't want to enjoy the game like it is intended to be enjoyed than that's their loss. Also, regarding future bot nukes, we all know how quickly bots were back after the major bot nuke last year, I don't think Jagex is going to be capable of stopping bots. I personally feel that accepting that people are going to bot in a grindy game like runescape is just what you have to do at some point. Until they actually prevent me from playing how I want to play though, I'm not really that annoyed by their presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaelinRainheart Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I just want to have fun when it comes to runescape. It's my stress reliver. When I'm under stress, i usually turn to RS.However, when I see a bot, whether its at blue dragons or kalphites, I wanna scream!

Kaida23 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 The fact that they've always been around doesn't make them any less annoying or rant worthy. 1 Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

Washac Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 There are areas of Runescape where legit paying players now cannot operate or play because the bots make itimmposible to do so, is that fair just because they have always been around ? I do not think so....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rib7 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Personally i havent encountered any bots apart from the ones in ge, selling gp, but if they are such a problem, do something different and/or change world. quit whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have not encountered any bots other than at GE, are you standing in one spot and not moving ? They are everywhere, dragons (Blue, Green and Frost)fishing, sorcerers garden, yews, magics, mining etc etc etc. All the above in most worlds I visit.

SHADOW STALKER Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 I don't understand how Runescape thinks if you lower the price of pretty much all the items... That will stop the bots but all it is doing is making them be around longer and make people made that items are loosing value.

poochu Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 How can you not see the bot problem? When I played lfor a few weeks maybe a year or two ago, in the edgeville dungeon where the Chaos Druids are, I was down there killing them for herbs, and there where a bunch of bots, running in the same path, same delay in picking up dropped items, with similar names.

Saunamajuri Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Though I don't like bots, Disrupting their activities is great fun for me. "An Amateur practices until he can get it right.

C Hathcook Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It would be nice if there was a screen where you could track what "bots" you had reported so that you could essentially open a "botting case file" so that you could submit more significant proof and stand a better chance of getting them banned.

Im with you the same I mean how would people know there bots? They might have there chat off just like you said Not like you guys have a program and type the username in and it says there using any type of bot. Bots are never going to stop somebody well keep developing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarBearBlue Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I feel like the majority of people who hate bots are the ones who like being really inefficient. Anyone who knows what they're doing wouldn't be hurt by chin/dragon/flax/whatever bots. If anything they benefit from cheap range/craft/fletching xp. I have to agree here. I mean, I'm in no way efficient and I haven't been members for a long time. but if you can do something really well then bots shouldn't be a problem. I've also been accused of being a bot so many times in the past and now. Most of the time I have chat off or I ignore you if you are not really saying anything important. Or I could be multitasking (I read and runecraft at the same time so I don't read the text box at all). Every once and a while I have to type "I am not a bot" and engage in conversation so I can keep from getting reported. But if bots are really that big or a problem, you can do 1 of 3 things. 1)Quit2) Move to an entirely different server3) Become more efficient It seems a bit unfair I camp world 75 (93 before it disappeared and when I was F2P) and I'm not Portuguese but at 475 people in the world, I doubt I see any bots. I mean, the entire Dwarven Mines is near empty, at almost every time of day/night. And if I do see a bot, well, that be the way it works. People will cheat with incentive to do so.

Biofrequency Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There is one thing I need to say. Just because someone doesn't reply to what you say to them doesn't mean they're bots, they can also have their chat off. This is weird, I fight monsters a lot in RuneScape, and have never experienced a problem with bots. But let me ask, how do you know they're bots and not just some people with chat off? Because when there are 3 lvl 50+ players wearing bronze armour and stabing cows in Burthorpe it seems pretty obvious that they are bots?!? not to mention their names are variations of a series of numbers and letters ie. '54lwn2o1m3o' or '54lwjao2kdo' Other Goals:50+ All skills, 80+ Combat lvl, 1500+ Total lvl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyNooblet Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yeah.. bots kinda ruined it for me, but when my cousin told me "Whoo hoo!!! Alex i got a green dragon task!"

JohnTheCop Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 i realize this is in bad taste but i would like bots to stay (to keep the price of dragon bones down) until the day after i get 95 prayer ;) "Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances."Benjamin Franklin "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze The Movie Fan Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Alright, I wanna clear something up. When I made that post, it might have looked like I was defending bots, I was not. Now in other video games I do use cheat codes, but I would never do it in RuneScape because I know it's against the rules. And to be honest I am against bots ruining the game. Fortunately they never caused me any problems as I was able to kill monsters and train other skills just fine. But to anyone who has to deal with them, I understand your frustration.

Walking through Taverly Dungeon the other day and seeing 4-5 players with names which looked like they headbutted the keyboard wearing that setup with a combat level of 100+.
