[@drunkfarmer5106]

I mean, with Mod Trident being recently fired, the anti-cheating team at Jagex is probably in absolute chaos atm. I've been thinking that for awhile but I thought people would say something about that since the investigation concurred with all the bot abusing. Took longer than I expected for people to connect the dots.

[@NAAAAAIL]

TIN FOIL HAT CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME! So I think that after that wave of false bot detections, Jagex took down their bot detection system to fix some bug(s) that were causing it and didn't want to publicly announce it until it was fixed because they were worried bots would run (even more) rampant but it's taking too long and bots are figuring out there are no consequences to botting.

[@kendog0013]

as someone else commented; theyre likely gathering a bunch of data just like before the bot nuke in RS3 to drop a massive new bot detection system - the bots were rampant in RS3 right before bot nuke hit as well so we will have to wait and see

We know Jagex let bots roam around but they definitely disabled all if not most of their detection system metrics due to "false bans" which were again, a lot of botters mass complaining to make it appear worse.

[@truemultipking3591]

It’s sad they added unnecessary restrictions like 150 total to enter friends chat and 100 total / 10 QP / 20 hours in game for unrestricted trade. Ostensibly it was supposed to slow down botting, but really it only hurts legit players when they make new accounts, kills low level F2P PKing especially in multi, and it doesn’t even stop the bots; evidenced by the huge amount of bots that rank at the top of boss KC or have lots of post-99 xp (like Hunter bots). Plus bots can easily meet the requirements meant to stop them in the first place.

[@DarkDyllon]

that's why they're purposefully low. a new player isn't going to use the GE within 20 hours or getting 100 total/10QP, they start the game and are confused on what to do. but all of this is a facade regardless. Jagex doesn't want to get rid of every single bot, it's a conflict of interest when a huge portion of the active playerbase are botters, which means that it keeps actual players engaged due to common resources being dirt cheap. people always say "well, if botters were gone the common resource will go up in price, meaning you can make more money" but meanwhile this happens to everything, so you pay more while earning more, not really the compensation people expect. and at some point that resource might even dry up due to the volume required to do a specific activity, which will lead to supply vs demand issues. imagine 1 piece of coal going for 3-5k each, why? because mlm bots aren't a thing anymore. sure you can make 3-5k each with 1 piece of coal by doing it yourself, but this would apply to everything that's bottable, which nowadays is limitless, you got actual boss bot farms now, even raid bot farms. everything would increase in price by a lot.

[@68lover]

Yeah and another thing is with all those requirements that have different activities, when a bot does different activities, it also fools the existing detection system, so having those restrictions only takes care of the noobiest of botters at best.

Hey SirPugger, there is a bot farm wearing Raiments of the eye and adamant pickaxes skulled running from edgeville bank and going to mage of zamorak in wildy. LMK what you find out about it.

[@LazyMusja]

I'm missing the old times. Jagex should start to develop an AI-Based Anti-Cheat-Software, because Osbot is already working on AI-Bots. And this will be the end

[@darkreaper7571]

the game wont surive 1 day with out bots, you wont play the game to farm resources only used in quests. Stop crying

[@scrung]

they most definitely already have an AI based anticheat software and have for a long time now

[@Tuxfanturnip]

​@@darkreaper7571people will absolutely play the game just to grind basic money makers if the profit margin rises due to the lack of bots, what are you talking about

[@LazyMusja]

​@@darkreaper7571you are using bots, don't you ?

[@DecibelAlex]

@@darkreaper7571 get a real job. stop crying

[@Dazen101]

I think we need to relax. Jagex wouldn't just let bots run amok. They'd never do that.

[@Jackson-sr4fk]

I mean its what they've been doing for years, why would they stop now

[@connorhurley-winter3006]

I’ve reported about 30 high level bots in the last 15 days. All of them clear to spot bots doing 12+ hours each of certain high level activities. All of them are still active. Jagex don’t want to ban bots or get rid of the gp they make…

[@Unionhawk73]

I was just hanging out in Al Kharid for a bit and saw a bunch of players botting tanning all with a red handegg but also there was someone with the red halloween mask red robes uniform just sitting in the bank. Wonder if it's the same farm. Reported a bunch of em anyway but I suspect that's the kind of farm that just gets refreshed every day so. Idk.

[@CriticalCentrist]

I'm not sure I like that the Bot Detector plugin gives so many false positives. You people know players can spend over 12 hours on this game and not be a bot, right?

[@Deaudie]

Bot detector plugin is just a fancy high score comparer, it doesn't do anything except keep tab on banned accounts.

[@Jackson-sr4fk]

May aswell be an irl npc at that point

[@CriticalCentrist]

@@Jackson-sr4fk Obvious cope from someone that will never max. 🤣

[@asemov2707]

The only reason it seems worse right now is because of Prime.

[@mikeholland6750]

ive been reporting a massive bot farm in prif near the north bank theres pickpocketers in almost every world. none of them get banned

[@jayn9399]

When you gonna go for the soul wars bots?

[@dennissommerfeld509]

When you try to apply for the Job at Jagex, the Form has 3 different Questions asking about your Pronouns/What you Identify as.. Jagex will never fix their Game because they have their priorities confused.

[@animefan7424]

I see you haven’t applied for many jobs, that is the norm

[@dennissommerfeld509]

@@animefan7424 I didn't need to apply for many Jobs, just wanted to see the process of Jagex hiring for this position. I assume the norm is one Question regarding Pronouns at the beginning of the application but 3 out of like 10 is just awkward.

[@TexasRedOutlaw]

This is standard, their previous system was obviously too strict and couldn't differentiate between bots and humans, so now they relax the system, this allows all the bots in for extended periods of time, which allows them to calibrate their system properly. They have likely flagged all these bot accounts and they are currently being monitored and used as research material, once their bot detection comes online again, it will be improved and have a metric tonne of data to use, hopefully resulting in less false flags. There will be a massive ban wave and then it will be back to before. So make money while you can.

[@josephlawson245]

Ive olayed casually for many years and never really took notice of bots, or saw anything that to the untrained eye was a bot. But just in the past week on several occasions teleporting to camelot ive literally seen six or seven of them just sitting there spamming the TP. All wielding just air staff and amulet of magic. Names that look straight out of a random password generator. Seems even to someone like me whos a bit casual its starting to become way more noticeable.

[@TONOCLAY]

I know i regularly see nature rune crafting bots. They have 110+ rcing and i typically see one everytime i go to the fairy ring for my medium clues

[@justinc102]

it feels like they did. ive seen the same account mine iron in a member server for like a week straight. not banned

[@MeganSmite]

I feel like this is another ignore the problem until they have a solution - I assume when they are ignoring them until they force jagex launcher on everyone, similar to how the did the bot nuke years and years ago

[@udontknowme23]

is it that hard to do something about rev bots? I've come across hundreds of them last week, all with craws bows and they auto pray and are near impossible to kill.. i got myself a craws bow drop a couple days ago and for how good it is, its pretty much dirt cheap.. i dont want to sell it for 15m.. i hope they can do something about this.

[@prinscsejr4010]

@sirpugger is there a reward if i snitch a complete bot network? With many different bots in it

[@michaelkr1148]

saw like 20-25 plunder pyramid bots in a single world while doing that for a while srs hope they are gonna do something about it

[@Cjhastings4]

Are brutal black dragon bots a thing? I saw a guy with 77 slayer and 200m ranged xp and I was really confused lol

[@Fissile_Fe]

I’ve seen more bots in the last month than I’ve ever seen. I’ve reported well over 300 accounts easily. Bowstring bots in Lumby castle. Teleport bots in Catherby and Falador. Agility bots in seers and varrock. New tithe farm bots. Thieving bots in draynor. Snape grass bots in hosidius. Wildy dragon bots. Air orb bots. Nature rune bots (with very very very high levels, I saw many running runes for hours while stocking up on Karambwanji) Rune rock bots. And some unique ham store room bots that look like they already have the keys.

[@kenzie4217]

Honestly i love the that red bot farm, dudes just a goof ball

[@astwas]

I see theiving bots playing like 24/7. See these guys all day long as I do my farm run teleporting to draynor and running to the patch, they have like 100+ theiving, all with the same stats (around 45 defense, 71 farming...). Also at barbarian fishing, there are appaerntly scripts where they even do the (3tick?) method with the herblore/cooking xp alongside fishing. One dude was doing it for 10 hours straight while I was afking there during work. Had 100+ fishing, with 90 strength and agility...

[@elfguy2007]

sad to see the collector market get hit like this I really liked weird stuff like that.

[@After_Pasta]

It isn't unusual that every few months large groups of bots don't get banned Its possible jagex is following the gold and preparing to ban gold sellers again

[@fosk8]

For some reason the "My BOOOObies" reply to the dr Phil. bot was the funninest thing I heard today.

[@ignskeletons]

Member bots = stable monthly revenue for Jagex shareholders. You tell me. Also private servers have better real person support than real RS, I would know.

[@Sanchobananas]

there is a bot farm at nex, its a team of 5 or 6 running full arma, one scout hops worlds and they logg out super fast when they see ppl, they are in ausy worlds.

[@derrick42069]

Does anybody know what's going on with the people in full obsidian with a mage arena 2 cape and a bludgeon I see them all the time.. gotta be bots right?

[@Veladem]

So basically what you're saying is; If I wanted to come back to play altscaper style, it would be safer now than all the false bans xD
