imperialglory Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 You know I don't think these are macroers were dealing with. This might go off-topic here, but it will explain what's really going on with the "macroer" problem. The whole majority of these macroers, are actually real people: under-paid chinese workers (I'm not being racist btw) that live in so called "sweat shops". I saw the news yesterday on TV about this growing problem in China. These workers get paid very little or nothing at all while the people that run these sweatshops get the money by selling off items/gp that the workers obtain to the people that want them. This actualy explains why these "macroers" have chinese names. Also I've seen some of the chinese slave characters wear mimi clothing and lederhosen, those random events require visual attention to do. I don't think a normal macro could do that... have to be one of the funnyest things i ever have seen lmao! It's not funny I heard they go on 18 hour shifts :shock: rofl!!! i bet i can do better imperialglory blog!! my videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skill4eva Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 There are so many yew and oak autoers in Draynor and Lumbridge forest place! I was cutting some normals to get cash and every like 5 seconds a random lvl 3 with a rubbish username passed. Occasionally i would say 'hi'. No reply. I mean jeez lots of people dont know the rules round here! Yeah, well. Definately not me! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony8150 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 It seems like these "autoers" are actually people :o As I posted above, I had a "conversation" with one in mandarin chinese. A couple hours later I found another one and I asked, how are you, in mandarin chinese, and they actually replied!(in chinese) so maybe a good majority of these level 3 woodcutters aren't really autoers?

skeroh Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Was trading my air running profits for arrows at Brian's. There was a level 3 standing there, Rii00__ (where the two underlines are a number). After several runs, hadn't moved, challenged him for auto buying in public chat, set as friend (showed up as online) and repeated challenge in PM, reported. Next day, a different numbered Rii was there, level 3, same outfit. Time for some randoms for people staying indefinitely in store view, i think! I've seen that one too many times whenever I cut willows at Rimmington. Although the one's I see in w7 are called ui##... anthony, i think it'd be cool to see chinese on runescape. i can read chinese, but i've never seen it before on runescape, although i have seen different languages, especially european languages... Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337hax Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Ever thought the other miners/yew cutters might be chinese sweat workers and not autoers? Half of you are reporting random people just because they can't speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baalboy5 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I want to say this autos can be stopped by the most simpliest thing, barricades from castlewars. If I found out a castle wars bug of being able to take barricades outside cw I would run over to whole runescape world and place the barricades around yews! Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob. People in OT eat glass when they are bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley_006 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Runescape, believe it or not, has a lot less macroers than other popular online games (Eg. Silk Road) I have not seen a macroer for a long time since i am a member, but on the odd occasion where i do see one, i report them to JaGeX.

stratotanker Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 my biggest tipoff is when i try to get their attn, they don't respond. Also, they keep getting hit by the tree spirits is a biggie. I keep an eye out at the draynor bank for a macro to die in the bank and drop loads of yews. THAT is hilarious, since i've made 5k off of it before. Also, I call in a mod when there are 15 ppl at a yew, all lvl 3... Since mods can get ppls attn when they have their chat off, they can check to see if someone is a mod. But mostly, it's just me asking them, trying to trade them is my method. My MOD Queue and MODs - StarTrekGuide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley_006 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 LOL a macroer died and dropped black flowers. He came back and bought them back off me for 80k. He equipped them again. He died shortly after to dark wizards and i sold them back to him again. This happened one more time before he finally decided to bank the black flowers.

stargazer311 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I sent a message to jagex about macroers and they told me they have "a massive Jagex Army of JMods poised to pounce and remove a huge chunk of the macroers from the game." (taken directly from the letter I got back.) who knows mabye something is actually about to be done? I would paste the whole letter but its about 30% really written about and 70% automated. :( Only thing I know is that since I lost membership I see why so many complain about this. I really counted about 20 last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mememe513 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The amount of lvl 3 autoers chopping yews in Rimmington has to be seen to be believed. One easy solution has to be 'Runescape Police' - or the mods, or players specifically authorised to track down and deal with such suspicious activity. Maybe a night spent in jail having rotten tomatoes thrown at them would teach them a unforgettable lesson? World 7, Lumby Forest, Rimmington, Port Sarim yew, and behind Varrock Castle. In all, there are about 50 macroers, on one tree alone in Lumbridge forest, I saw 38 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratotanker Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I h8 that. i've seen maybe 20-25 in the woods near lumby at the yew. My MOD Queue and MODs - StarTrekGuide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony8150 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 My cousin made a list of names of all the autoer's he has seen. It has been 2 days so far and he has 3 pages worth of names. I is a genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it shouldn't be a "special event" -- there should be Jmods in the game all the time dealing with these and other issues. ~q Qeltar, aka Charles KozierokWebmaster, RuneScoop - Premium RuneScape Information for Expert Players -- Now Free!Featuring the Ultimate Guide to Dungeoneering -- everything you need to know to get the most of the new skill!
