jayc3399 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I noticed that the majority of my skills went up 10k+ ranks over night and the number of players online is ~63k half of the normal at this time. I think this points to some sort of mass banning and or bot nuke.

IridiumBunny Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Lots of people are reporting the same, so probably true. Page 2 and 3 of hunter highscores is still full of 200m xp hunter bots though, so if there was one it wasn't a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_R Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think it was just a mass banning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybear Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 http://open.tip.it/high-score-stats Nothing more than a mass ban. Optimus isn't ready and it's been confirmed by Mod Emilee on the RS forums that it's not being released this month. Currently hold the rank of 'Honoured' Member in OTG. Some pretty impressive player vs monster achievements.I've had fifty two sigils since release of corporeal beast.I've had sixty three drops from Nex in under six months.Close to 3 billion gold from doing player vs monster.

Lep Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'd hardly call that a mass ban lol. Watching the numbers rise on RS home page is like 100K accounts oops I mean bots made per day lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 2 and 3 of hunter highscores is still full of 200m xp hunter bots though, so if there was one it wasn't a great one.Those might be inactive bots, so they are probably unaffected by such bannings but then I'm curious why they are still P2P.

Fire_Hawk154 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Kinda funny F2P was removed from the hiscores because all the F2P bots made the hiscores an unrealistic presentation of the real ranks. Now they've removed 700K P2P bots... Jagex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The reason for the increase in your rankings were due to accounts that are now F2P being removed from the highscores. When an accounts membership isn't renewed, its highscores are still visible for a few months until a mass removal is done :P This had nothing to do with the banning of bots, unfortunately ;P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no direct link to any post which states a mass removal of accounts from the hiscores. But it's a commonly known fact that it happens, and on occasions all at once. We already know there's at least a 10-day grace period from the time you cancel your memberhsip to the time you're removed from the HS. That can extend for weeks, or even months. It's a far more accurate theory than anything else suggested, anyway. It's fine if you don't wish to believe it until you have a source, but you're wasting your time gripping to hope.

InsaneChef Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 There was a forum post (probably long gone) with a mod saying the hiscore is bugged and that it is definitely not any kind of bot removal.
