Thanks for investigating my land sir Pugger. One more crazy bot farm on Karamja I know of is the rune rocks in Mor Ul Rek. Requires a fire cape and there are 100s with an insane amount of mining xp without ever getting banned. Pretty crazy because it is really easy to recognize them

[@BTChanOSRS]

Jagex's heuristics used to detect macroing are autistic, not deductive. They run scanns on input repeaded patterns, timings of actions and dumb data they can literally track and analyze. There's no red flag for being gameplay-locked into 20 squares after recieving capital from other accounts, or for just making gp, or for trading these profits away everytime. Jagex's anti-macroing system does not look for things you would be looking at to identify bots, it's kinda retarded. And they're sticking to that model and polishing it instead of looking to suplement it with alternative aproaches.

They make no money, no point in making bots. No bots=No membership fees, no fees=RIP

[@anoldlady8]

Most people might not remember, but there was a MASSIVE ddosing problem before death mechanics were changed. People would hit the worlds offline if they saw someone in high risk doing pvm, hoping the person would die so they could loot their shit. Death mechanics need to stay the same until Jagex can prevent their worlds from being hit offline, but lets be real, they cant.

[@WondererFree]

They should just let it stay up for 60 minutes and then after an hour the loot will spawn. This will probably solve the problem because most people can log back in and get to their spawn.

[@TheCanineHomestead]

@@WondererFree Back when this was an issue u could go 2 hours where u log in and dc before u get off the welcome screen. it was a living hell and ppl would just push the limit for 60 min in hopes that u dont get back if they changed it so u can pick up items after 60 min

Some of those times were because the world was DDOSed some of them were just normal server issues. The thing is, you were not the intended target. So you just eventually logged back in or hopped to another world and didnt ever realize that someone, somewhere in the server that dropped just lost all of their shit. Also DDOSing has gotten more and more common and much easier and accessable over the years since 2007. It wasnt common back then but its easy for anyone who can use google to figure out today in 2019.

He is doing good work but don't hold your breath on this making any real difference. I have known of all the farms revealed here for years. The ranging guild farm has been in existence since early runescape 2 days. The tokkul shop farms have been around for years also, they operate in 3 different tzhaar shops and the bots don't get banned for months on end even with multiple player reports and of course even when they are banned they are replaced within hours. It makes the game unplayable for me.

[@alexrsps141]

Everyone knows about them lol There is litterly nothing jagex could do more at this point that would not affect normal players, the signals to tell if someone is a bot are already there and any increased will trigger too many fake positives, the thing is bots get banned OFTEN but there are bots to make new bots and money making methods that require less than a day to prepare for, you cant bot 24/7 for a week but you dont have to, there are mule bots that hold money from bot farms that litterly exist for 6 hours then never used again (they hold value and transfer it before 6 hour log)

As an ironman I can tell you that bots are very popular at the jewlary shop in port sarim

[@jojosbizarreenchantment]

20 min wait before items appear.

[@jpe175]

There are usually a few bots hopping worlds selling amulets to Davon. They have basically the minimum stats to complete the karamja easy diary for the gloves.

[@Oreos_and_Chill]

How about a total level requirement to keep your items on death. Sub 1000 total = loot shows up after death in minutes. Let's be real, no wealthy pvmer that would have to worry about a ddos has lower than 1k total level. Most bots are lower than 1k total. It's a fair requirement.

[@foxenn]

Nickster sounds like a great idea for the new player experience!!

[@Dr_Lawyer]

theyd just bot the total lv req

[@Oreos_and_Chill]

@@foxenn I can get 1000 total level in a day, could care less about a new player experience. This game is for the veterans.

[@waightforrest1737]

Remember a couple years back when there was bots in f2p pvp worlds were using mining. Funnest time of my life

[@rob1nzdb0]

Yet wow classic is 99% legit players. Osrs 80% bots you would be better playing rsps

[@NickKJ117]

"Its a big brain bot" had me dying.

[@kingmoses7582]

Pugger, the reason these bots are buying feathers are because you buy the feathers for 2gp each from the fishing shops, and then go and sell them overnight on the G.E. for 3gp each, thus making minimal profit, but it's a very easy way for f2p players to make a quick bond for members

[@williampatrickwoods]

Tip, I found bots buying diamonds in every world in the fight pit gem shop. They somehow know when the shop is stocked and when it isn't, because they are never logged in unless the diamond spawns. If you sell a diamond to the shop the bot will log in and buy it then instantly log out again. (So you can basically summon it. Worth trying in a pvp world?)

[@mapletree6308]

North of Ardy there is a shop that sells empty baskets and sacks and some other small things but like in sets of 100x. The bot doesn't even hop it just stays there buying them all day since the respawn rate is very fast. It's not a huge amount of gp but after a day I'm sure it adds up with multiple accounts. Also the bots buying food at the warrior guild.

[@johnstrader93]

when i was getting 99 Hunter I ran into so many bots. What I'd do was use the same spaces they were for setting traps, which would cause them to drop their traps and i'd pick them up. One time a bot actually spoke to me. I took all his/her traps and they yelled "mis trapas!" lol. Not even kidding, about 3 minutes later a high lvl player spawned and traded the bot more traps. I reported the "king pin" along with all of the bots I encountered.

[@PessaMystic]

Kurasks at Fremennik Slayer Cave, whole bunch of level 100+ wearing dragon/obsidian with only melee stats trained. Was able to mess with 4 of them that logged in simultaneously through Tele-other but bot would find a way out of it after 3-5 mins.

[@joaodanielcanelas9072]

Probably not the most popular oppinion but death mechanics should stay the same. Bots ruin the game, if you kill them for their stuff it's just botted items not 'legit' items and the issue remains (influx of botted items into market). Not that you're not doing great work (and you're doing GREAT work by exposing this) but it doesn't change the base problem, it just shuffles who's getting the profit. Please don't take it as personal or negative feedback I love your vids!

[@tybrookes4537]

Very good point my man

[@redaxecat9206]

I also found another bot farm in the GE stringing magic longbows/other bows. I found this level 3 RSN dominick9109 (he is 108 fletching with no other skills and rank 942 in fletching on the high scores). There are 2 other accounts in the world in the GE stringing bows, but it might be one of those bot farms that only logs in on weekends when mods are out of the office. You can temporarily break them by using the teleother spell, but they eventually find a way out of it and keep on fletching.

[@brandonmansfield]

5 hours to pay for 14 days of membership is worth it in my books

[@redaxecat9206]

I just looked (sept 2 at 19:00 GMT) and I looked and I found that some of the karmabwan buying bots have auto retaliate on now so that they can kill the tribesman.

[@benjiboy1337]

I did not realize old school had nuked death mechanics. RS3 has a reclaim function, but it costs gp and requires clicking through dialogue with Death, and also has gravestones that act as a temporary safe spot for your dropped loot (outside of pvp areas) to allow for corpse runs. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the items drop on the ground after the gravestone timer ends if you haven't gotten back by then. This seems like a good solution to me, but I don't know what unique problems might be faced on the old school client that might make that infeasible.

[@JesusGreenBL]

I feel like the best way to resolve the death mechanics would be to implement some kind of code that looked for any signs of a disconnect. Maybe just 2 checks, one to check if the player's client is still connected, and 2 just a ping to the user's IP to check if it's still reachable whatsoever. If both fail it registers it as a potential disconnect, doesn't make their items appear to other players, and also records what happened before/after their death, so that if for example a UIM died to a server disconnect Jagex could look into it. Otherwise if it doesn't appear to be a disconnect, it just treats it as a normal death like it used to, still gives them a long time to come collect it (just in case), but then makes it show to other players after that timer is up.

[@Bashavzs]

Death mechanics are a double edged sword. You can have loot show from bots killed from methods like the one in the video, but it also enables scammers from being able to trick players into dying from a number of methods. I'm not sure how big of a problem scams are that get players killed by environmental stuff or npc's

[@foxik992]

As there are random events, there should be one that happens more often. A bot that follows you for 10 minutes and urges you to talk with him. If you dont reply in 10-15-20 minutes - instaban. There should be a list of answers that change positions every time. This bot will follow you even when you tp or anything else.

[@SymmRTA]

i remember finding something like that wasn't botted. It was in the guild where you get the defenders. There is a cook selling pizzas and you can make a profit with them.

[@YelaOSRS]

You can force-teleport also Green Dragons bots by spam clicking on their attack option even though they're already in combat with a dragon or not even in your combat bracket, you should try to do that. I've tried to tell you this for a while though and i discovered when i was doing wildy slayer on my Ironman, a bot took my safe spot dragon and i was mad trying to attack him lol and he teleported and i tried few more they force-teleported all when i spam clicked attack on them.

[@t-rex2645]

i discovered a couple kurask bots that all wear exactly the same gear. full dragon with d chain, d med, obby shield, bandos god cloak, d long and glory. i had like 3 of them in the downstairs are while i was doing my task, later my clannies spotted a few more.

[@jffry890]

As a UIM, I like to chop trees next to general stores so that I can fletch the wood and quickly sell the bows for quick cash. On Zeah at Shayzien House general store, I was chopping maples when I saw the same bot world hop, run to the store, and sell 20 of a variety of items before hopping again. He would return regularly and do the same thing. Was he just maximizing profit by selling junk items to the store a bit at a time? I don't understand what it was accomplishing.

[@drakebell8990]

You'd like to think you're hurting us by doing this. But in reality, all you're doing is helping botters across the globe better their scripts by breaking them for us so we can fix exploits in our scripts, and for that we thank you, Sir Pugger! Keep up the good work and soon enough you'll have burned through many if not all exploitable bugs in our scripts. Live long and bot hard. :D

[@wrestlerking73]

There's a bot that sells Rune Plateskirts and Rune Platelegs to the shop in Nardah. It made it impossible for me to buy one on my Ironman.... It pissed me off!
