Exposing Runescape 3’s Botting Underworld

Video covering a Runescape 3 Botting community with 1500 + members...
The content of this video is for entertainment purposes only.
I have tried to keep the botting server and the players in it anonymous
as my intention is not to start a witch hunt. I do not recommend players
enticed by this video to seek out the server, website or software
as it may be harmful to your computer & personal data. Botting is against the rules of Runescape and will get your account banned,
whether that's today or tomorrow.

It's really simple from the Jagex side. People create bot accounts and these accounts need membership - more accounts - more money to Jagex. Simple math....

[@lostversile]

Stoner logic i swear. The average player isn't running a botfarm and is just abusing public scripts therefor isn't spending any more than a normal player in terms of membership. To say Jagex allows the bots to line their pockets shows how little people know about the struggle of the anti-cheat team.

[@dominiontower7487]

I love these kind of videos, exploring things we wouldn't like to explore ourselves but are still interested in

[@TheRealPunisher]

I saw someone with a zuk cape botting the dg arch update. His bot literally was stuck for hours in the same spot. We all reported him. Literally saw him yesterday. No punishment for anyone.

[@tehandroidmaster]

I certainly won't lie: the temptation to bot on my main was, and still is, overwhelming ever since I was an 11-year-old skipping homework and studying to "play" RuneScape (sit at a screen and alch for 5 hours or WC yews in the Gnome Stronghold for just as long). I've come close to downloading Powerbot like a few of my friends in school did, but here's the rub: *everyone* I know IRL who botted, and whether it was their main or an alt, those accounts got *banned.* I am quite literally the *only* person in my *entire* circle of friends (IRL and online) who still has the original account he made when he was a fucking preteen. That's a SOBERING fucking realisation to have. Imagine all those years of progress flushed down the drain because you were too lazy to git gud. It's a pretty fucking strong deterrent to an intrepid preteen turned teenager turned adult when you know damn well just how many people got banned for botting, how fucking stupid the shit they got banned for was, and how attached I am to my main from 2007 that I have damn near max stats on after like what, 17 years of playing?

[@crazedmonk8u]

I get the same feeling especially after watching a few botting to max series on youtube. they lasted for quite some time but they were no lifing the bots so im like hey. if i was to bot and keep it reasonable and not run it 24/7 i might get away with it and seems to be more secure in terms of bot detection since the scripts are being ran in the cloud vs injected. kinda like osrs runelite bots have lower ban detection vs injected bots like dreambot etc. That said i never went with it i spent too much time on my main to risk it again since i had a macro ban(major) ~ a decade ago. i forgot what bot it was but i only used it for a few hours and got slammed lol it was bad. that got appealed. too paranoid to even make a new account on a different computer with its own ip and stuff i don't want any potential crosslap at all. so we are staying legit!

[@shotnothing3419]

just don't be dumb or greedy when botting

[@tehandroidmaster]

@@shotnothing3419 Nah. That's the ultimate folly. RuneScape has a grindy and addictive gameplay loop, the tedium of which actively creates an incentive for botting. Once you mix addictive gameplay loop with black markets, that's where shit can spiral quickly. Are there people with unaffected accounts who've been botting since the Gower Brothers ran Jagex? I don't doubt the possibility, but I've never once met a "responsible" botter in my entire life.

[@MeanBeanComedy]

Yeah, my brother and I each got a 7-day and 14-day ban and immediately quit botting forever. It's been like 12 or 13 years since. 😳😬

[@MeanBeanComedy]

Now, have I been tempted to set up a bot running clue scrolls or something on a fresh account from a different IP and then "die" to my main in the wildy while skulled with a 6B hat in my inv? Yes. Definitely. I have still fought off the urge, though.

@@tylers92 I don't know, I think the "bots keep prices low" argument is a wash; sure, it's true that bots keep things like ores and potions low, but this also means taking those profits away from legitimate players.

[@gmonark90]

By chance you got their discords?? Can you share

[@SkyVoidify]

I used to bot when I was younger, never to the extent some people do. However, as I got older I noticed I'd quit playing for a long time quickly after using bots. This was because I was taking the fun out of the game. There's no sense of reward if you achieve a goal through botting, so it actually damages your experience as a player. What really solidified this belief for me was when I made my ironman at the mining/smithing rework. And if you gave a brand new player an account with a comp cape, they wouldn't know what to do or understand the time/effort it took to get there. Unfortunately, it's impossible for Jagex to get rid of all bots. Botting basically just turns any game into an idle game.

[@holly_hacker]

The reason you need to disable anticheat is because cheat software interacts with the game in the same way some malware does (using techniques such as code injection or methods to evade detection by the runescape client). It doesn't mean they are doing shady things, and to be honest you don't need to be a genius to write malware that doesn't get detected by AV software anyway.

[@checker297]

lol if you think that I have a bridge to sell you. AV is pretty damn good these days and mostly you will exclude stuff for performance based reasons ie might get file locks on network based shares, but a bot client has no reason for this. If a bot client cant operate without it, it is doing something shady, or having the ability to do stuff which is shady

[@painnmisery2582]

​@@checker297 of course it has the *ability* to do something shady. most the shit running on your pc does. injection + read/write memory + function hooking/calling. all the same things malware uses as well as every cheat ever created barring simple macros/pixel bots. a bot client cant operate without it because its the core concept of how most bots(or even non bot cheats) except pixel bots work. i cant tell you how many times ive made a bot/hack for a game and it gets flagged one compile, but not another. particularly defender. defender is awful, constantly flags my own stuff, or stuff that is open source (example: cheat engine) knowing damn well its fine. this is the one that theyre probably wanting you to disable for that exact reason. an actual antimalware/antivirus false flags these types of programs far less then defender.

[@holly_hacker]

@@checker297 No, AV will frequently block software based on heuristics which include age, how common software is and what API calls it does. A lot of cheat software is also obfuscated to prevent people from cracking it or to prevent anti-cheat creators from learning how it works, which has a very high false-positive rate with AVs. I've seen it block legitimate software plenty of times, including my own stuff as I compile it.

[@christianbarrett3040]

The unfortunate truth is that bots make Jagex money, so getting rid of them isn't in their best financial interest. However as most likely use bonds for membership, there is an argument that they are not making as much money off from them because that is less membership fees in their pockets and if in game bond prices are high, they sell less bonds too as players need to buy less to get to their GP goals

[@lzn1996]

Bots are needed to maintain rs3 economy and there aint a thing jagex can do about it tbh... Who do you think makes supplies cheap? Its that or jagex directly selling items Although ofc they make bonds prices high due to demand, which is bad... I used to have a botfarm a few years ago(50-60 accs), just realised its more worth my time actually working and buying bonds to fund my main anyway... I do not know which software they are selling/negotiating in particular in rs3 and what im saying is from experience on 2018-2021 id say. Things might have changed, couldnt tell but from what Ive seen in the video its almost the same as it was back then

[@videowatcher37]

1:30 usually because injecting code into processes is getting flagged by AVs, because malware does the exact same thing, no point in botting though as skilling macros made with drivers like icue wont get you caught either way.

[@painnmisery2582]

no macro is gonna kill zammy though. need an actual bot for that.

[@dtaggartofRTD]

wild and brazen. Hopefully Jagex does something about this. I've played since the original bot nuke. I don't want to see RS3 get back to those levels.

[@EmersonShaffer]

I think Jagex should provide an additional automation skill in the game that can compete with these bots in some capacities. Or more afk ways to gather these resources without it being just a grind/time tax. If someone wants to have a machine supply the GE with resources nobody gives a shit to collect anymore then I'm fine with it. Makes it easier for me to get the supplies I want. I think boss botting is excessive, I get that the goal is farming for gold/rwt. I'm fine if that stays against the rules. But I am curious how GE equipment prices would change if boss afking was more accessible. But the economy already lacks so many items in the GE having a regular supply, and if we can't get new players to help build that supply then let the bots do it so I can get my supplies when I'm playing rather than having to wait for it to settle overnight.

At the end of the day bots will always be a part of MMORPG games, there isn't much you can't do to prevent them from existing all together

[@danielperez9063]

I used bot for many years, I used all avaiable bots and I've lost many accounts... today I find out its waste of time to start from begining every ban xD I've been clean for 2 years... Today I just put some Weight in my keyboard so that I dont get lougout for idle and my character can do some afk like mining, thieving etc for a while more... xD

[@danielperez9063]

Just to be clear, Im nor proud of it, and I really dont recommend anybody to use bots/macros, because Im sure you will have your account banned and become unmotivated... I play this game since I was 11, now im 30 and you know, sometimes we dont have much time and greed ends up speaking louder.... but not worth it to bot guys...

[@victorrenato835]

jagex allowing well knowing streamers to use pvm macros also just reforce that "bot is allowed" for those ones that aim easy way to get better than normal tryhard players

[@johnbell1063]

the devs don't care about the players why would you expect the players to care about the game.

[@Brian_Gonzales]

There's a guy with like 55 omni guards and 45 lanterns that bots all days it broke 1 day and i recorded it lol

[@kennethjames6114]

Bruh… whenever I (rarely) log on these days each world has maximum 100 players online anyway. If they got rid of all the bots, there would be like 10 people playing. Game is officially dead.

[@thefaceless760]

I think maybe the engine would have further improved if Jagex didnt gatekeep who worked for them, and didnt treat Jmods like some kind of rare unicorn we never see, gold crowns should be familiar to familiar players, personally i think jagex needs to hire passionate and dedicated players in order to address the main issues at hand, its like a school teacher, nobodys gonna tell them whos misbehaving, so hire more players 🤷‍♂️

[@sniperlif3]

Jagex doesn't have a good anti-bot. Its bad, and, if you paid attention, it was often fake with JMOD(s) IRL trading

[@Thebt7]

Oh... but if I use my mobile phone and i click on the same spots to fletch at the bank then im bot busted and banned for micro botting. But this crap is totally fine for Jagex. PFFFT. fckn never touching RS ever again such a waste of life time playing a game thats unrewarding af for normal players but botters and gold buyers get free reign. Absolutely pointless.

[@nopewontyou]

it really isnt jagex fault that they havent "dealt" with these bots, people who code work very hard to make these scripts and make them seem as human as possible. 10 years ago, it was simple to detect a botting program, but now they are so elusive it is tough to know 100% someone is a bot. Imagine afk'ing at hets oasis on a new account and being lvl 3 with 99 farming as you play your main, just to be banned for seeming to be a bot. as soon as jagex develops a program to detect botting scripts, after the inital waves of bans, the scripts are revised according to the new bot detection, and the cycle repeats. botters dont care if u ban the bot account, they will just buy a new script for 20$ and be max again in a month w/ zero effort, and can use ge manipulation to "transfer" there gold over to a different mule account. its a pretty impossible situation to handle.

[@Swunt]

shhhhhh, nobody tell him about all the osrs bots

[@imagines9688]

bot makers will always be more skilled than corporate greed!

[@Enm7]

So, there are literal bots for everything, and bots that are getting maxed without getting caught, and there are people regularly getting falsed bans? This is a bad look for Jagex when their customer support for these things is non existent *twitter cough cough*. Wild that this can go on like this.

[@darcycosta2576]

thers bots with 200m all botting has and always been in the game

[@SzajKornik]

Theres bots blatantly botting 200m skills @ max guild that haven't been banned for years, they get reported daily too

[@FrankSmith]

I think they need to ban the PVM botters because thats just shitty of them to allow that. But, I do see the value in having gathering bots lol. I don't want to pay 60k for a rocktail in the future because the bots are banned..

[@Krizzald100]

No wonder why everything has the price it has nowadays... Those prices need to drop.

[@incongruous4]

Yeah, we need more bots so prices go down. Good thing protox is advertising their services
