MMK's take here is really telling for the state of Jagex's failure to adequately deal with botting. Bots in every endgame area, bots with 200M XP, bots that have farmed for 2,000 hours and made billions of GP each that are still running RIGHT NOW. And he fully SUPPORTS them, wants them to continue "so you dont have to pick flax". If flax was REWARDING, people would WANT to do it. Thousands of methods CANNOT be done by new players, low levels, skillers, or accounts because they've been completely destroyed by bots, PVM overdropping loot tables, and not enough being done about the problem. Cheaters are at the top of every leaderboard running for 12+ hours a day. It's funneling gold to RWT, account trading, phishing networks, and worse. Jagex is just so disconnected with players' actual wishes for bettering the game, it's ridiculous. This has been going on for 20+ years and by not doing enough, Jagex has allowed the problem to infest every aspect of the game. People don't want to log on and see a bot trying to scam them at the GE. People don't want to do their level grind, look over at the nearest player and see they're a bot. Players don't wand their endgame time investments devalued by bots either. Kick back, allow this to happen forever, and see how long your game lasts. The players are sick of it.

The biggest issue with allowing botting and RWT is that the economy will be centered around it and all new content will have to be balanced around it being botted and RWT'd. They already did this with amethyst darts, for example, and lowered the amount of darts you can get from amethyst because they knew it would be botted like crazy. You also see this in all the gold sinks they have been adding in. Almost 1 bil to unlock the bank expansions when it really should have been based around account progression. So this screws over people who don't bot and RWT, and it especially screws over ironmen. Probably the best option is to just start making more high level items untradeable, or make tradeable and untradeable options for high end gear. RWTers can get the tradeable versions and people who don't RWT can go for the untradeable ones. This is something that had been suggested with amethyst darts, since then you would have untradeable amethyst darts and tradeable rune darts which are fairly equivalent. Unfortunately Jagex didn't do this and instead just made it longer for normal players to get amethyst darts.

I STRONGLY disagree with you guys on the whole blockchain/RWT/botting opinions. If RWT and botting became allowed, the amount of bots would 10x since people could run tons and tons of accounts, passively making profit for literally no work AND knowing 100% it wouldn't get banned since Jagex allows it.. You would be stupid NOT to do it. Mark my words, the price of gold would absolutely fucking tank. And because of the ridiculously cheap price of gold many many people will be discouraged from playing the game legitimately. The ONLY worthwhile alternative to running as many bots as possible yourself would be having to compete against an UNIMAGINABLE swarm of other peoples bots for less and less resources, OSRS would become pay to win and alienate the very very few legit players that's left. When you offer people a way to make money, real life schmeckels, with literally ZERO work involved (except just starting your 50+ bots once and let them run 24/7 in the background) everyone is obviously going to do it themselves. And ironically quickly there will be no one left to buy the tremendous supply of gold being pumped in to the game (why buy gold when you can bot it for free?) and the hyperinfaltion will make GP just as worthless as zimbabwes 100 trillion bills. Even vennies wouldn't be able to make a living anymore lmao. PS.

Don't normally comment but I think Mod Mat K is completely off the mark with his take on botting and RWT. If botting was allowed why wouldn't everyone bot on all their accs to get 99s, items and pets? Add in a RWT system into the game that would incentivize more bots trying to make gp and inflation goes through the roof (like it isn't already...) Also Mod Mat K keeps mentioning to give everyone their own instance so you won't have the problem of competing with bots at Artio for example. But bosses with their own instances are the highest offenders, thinking vorkath, zulrah, gwd, cg etc. You don't even see the hundreds of bots that are inside. Why would you want to go into your own instance of Artio when there would be 10x more bots farming the content now due to instances and you can just buy the item for 100k

As a veteran player with a medium-sized bank, I do appreciate affordable items and supplies. That being said, the “average player” strives to acquire wealth and chase items. Items are status and have been since RSC’s p-hats. When I walk around the game and see every other med-level player wielding a Fang, the item loses a lot of it’s appeal no matter how good it is. The solution to “average players want good items” isn’t to keep bots in the game. It’s to add more content akin to Barrows that awards a variety of tradeable items with untradeable upgrades.

Oldschool saved Jagex. The community saved Jagex. And as far as his recollection that "player count was trending down each year so we had to do something" (something meaning create EOC). That's not my recollection at all. Sure it may have decreased from its peak but I was in love with the game fall 2011 right before EOC was released. The video content creating community was huge as well. Unless Matt has the ability to see into the future across multiple timelines, he could not have known if runescape would've trended down and faded into oblivion if EOC wasn't released.

Definitely a lot I agree with Mat K. He's a smart one and I wish Jagex would be listening to this. RWT is seen as a big taboo but honestly the more you think about it the more it makes sense. As people get older and have less time to play there needs to be incentive that kinda works like a carrot to keep peoples overall interest up. It's a fact MMO needs people, not bots but ACTUAL people. The driving factor behind successful MMO is healthy and big playerbase. And if you have a lot of different age group people playing the game it just makes it that much richer. If I could make like a cheeseburger from occasionally sending a Vorkath or Zul'rah run I'd be so much more hyped to play as an adult. I agree with Mint that it's sadly very unlikely Jagex will pick up on this but refreshing to hear from Mat nonetheless.

Agreed. If the less interesting, more commonly botted activities didn't have bots to create them, then the price of that item would inevitably rise, until the point where some players would start doing it for profit. Also, the oldschool team has shown that they can effectively create new ways to increase supply for items where needed (like blood runes via GOTR for example), so anything that bots are currently manufacturing could be addressed with engaging alternative methods via new content.

This is why the Well of Good Will had to be ended as an event in RS3 where Jagex would donate real money based on how much gold was tossed in.

This is why game companies fight so hard to argue that players receive nothing of true value from their in-game purchases, because an implied value would mean that the company has created an unregulated currency, which is illegal pretty much everywhere.

Yes, but another point you're missing is, if this would become a real thing. It would be more in line of "investing" or call it a stock investment, into Jagex. Meaning if you have their game coins, you invested X amount into their game. Let's say for example a T-bow. The moment they decide to nerf the T-bow and the price drops. It basically means Jagex manipulated the market at this point to change their "stock" value. Which I'm quite sure is not allowed either.
@cytofusion6072 Жыл бұрын
@@nidaleeh that’s not how this works. No government is going to just accept Jagex claiming it’s the same as investing in the company. Stocks are a product with a known, defined value and are highly regulated. Again, there’s a reason even the greediest companies like EA try their damndest in front of congress to convince people that their in game currency has no value; no one wants to step into that minefield willingly.

The block chain doesn't carry the same regulations yet, and it may never. I think Mod Mat K is on the right track with this idea, the future is here and his solution would really impact the black market of this game. I don't think it's a bad take. He's not wrong about the bots either, the game would die within 2 months without them, I think high end content bots need to be removed but the cowhide bots and stuff keep the economy flowing

I didn't make it all the way through the podcast but I'm about 2 hours in, I think the point that they are missing that RiceCup seems to be trying to convey, is that the community needs "Chase Uniques". Items that have value that makes doing difficult content worth doing. If these chase uniques become devalued and are worth less money, then doing the difficult content feels bad because the reward doesn't feel rewarding anymore. Another issue is leaderboards, if bots are always the ones at the top of the leaderboards then the players can't even compete for the prestige so it again devalues the experience, leaderboards would become a ranking of who bots those bosses the most.

It has to be close to 50/50 bots vs players if not more bots. And the bots doing pvm are making end game content hardly worth doing. And if they could do raids trust me they would ruin that.

Rice cup I hate to do this because you are a good guy. Please work on your speaking and social skills. You have a really hard time with understanding when it’s appropriate to chime in or add a concise comment. When you speak it’s so unplanned and unorganized that it makes your speaking come off as annoying. Before you speak you need to listen and after you listen you need to avoid speaking until you have finalized your thoughts. Just a tip man I watched this episode back 3x and each time I became increasingly frustrated with your role in this episode

One can always improve in a conversation skills which we always strive to do but you also need to understand that the topics being discussed is very complicated. So trying to be concise in the middle of listening is not possible unless we already discussed this way in advance what the topics are and peoples takes. We dont know that stuff all the time. In this case we only knew whats being discussed right before the podcast. The topics being discussed here is very complicated and im trying to offer more nuanced takes. Not just bout pvp like Mint for ex. Its okay to replay certain things if its confusing because it is. With that being said, we are always improving our communication with our limited time. Please be patient.

I think Mat K is more of a people person then he is a "how the game is supposed to work" person. He also seems to forget this is a game, and is supposed to be purely for fun. Not for real world trading and crypto users. The price of gold when converted to real life USD or what have you has already been plummeting, with the lack of uses for gold, and making a statement officially allowing real world trading and botting would completely ruin it further. The only reason gp is worth any real usd is BECAUSE it's a blackmarket sort of thing. You're supposed to feel good after you achieve a monumental feat or milestone. That feeling can be completely nonexistent when there are hundreds or thousands of bots that have achieved the same thing and more. Not even a person. A nothing. You're supposed to play this game for the passion, not to compete with real world traders or Venezuelan betting and botting centers. Mat K sure knows the corporate way to run a business, or how to "future-proof" the game or whatever, but not at all how to keep a game fun or why I keep coming back. He has some real valid points, but I believe he misses the mark on the things I care most about, and I'm glad he's not at the helm at Jagex. Allowing bots on any level already makes the average player feel like shit when you can, for example: log into the lunar isle bank on any world and view over the course of 10 minutes, 20 different level 90 ranging bots with 10k+ Vorkath kills. And he annoys me when he says botting is absolutely essential to runescape, when that isn't the case even a little bit. It is as anti-Runescape and anti-the soul of what a game is supposed to be; regardless of how long Runescape has been struggling with it. There are several things we could do to fix it. The island of Miscellania could get an expansion, more monsters could drop "boring" items, and Jagex could adjust how much you get or the gathering speed of "boring" items. You don't need soulless bots to get everything. The state of the game is terrible right now because the ONLY way to get big money in Runescape is spam kill raids/bosses, when that isn't what everyone wants to do. Saying that removing bots would make every player an ironman is an EXTREME (and flat out wrong) take. It would deflate the over bloated economy and make every individual resource more worthwhile and rewarding, while also making it feel better to be a player of runescape, knowing that every kill on a boss or raid you complete, or every long resource grind you do, is actually rewarding both in how it feels to achieve such a thing and the respective rewards it brings. Bots are, and always have been, the most anti-consumer and anti-video game thing, and every single one should be removed at any cost. (I stopped watching 50 mins into the bot discussion, I was burned out after listening to it for that long, and since my opinion holds no sway, and no one will even read this comment, I'm dropping out before I sit and wonder when the next segment is going to start. I didn't realize I was only halfway through the video)

This interview is actually hurting me to watch. It’s taken me multiple days to get 2/3 of the way through it because Mad Cow and Ricecup will *seriously* not shut the fuck up, and go on ridiculous tangents when Mat K asks them a simple question. “Give me one example of an item that’s tanking” “a bunch of things bro! Blah blah 12m last month 7m this month” god, it’s infuriating! You can tell Mat looks so done with it and I feel like I have to say something because the quality of 2 of these interviewers is so poor, especially when they’re unable to see anything from outsider of their max main perspective. I apologise but nobody on this panel will ever be able to say anything as interesting as Mat K ever can, but 2 hours in he has barely gotten a word in edgeways. Not to mention all 3 people responding at once to his questions, which further instigates the rambles, and then arguing back and forth between themselves about things that aren’t even the main point of the question. Shoutout to Raiksey for at least trying to pull the conversation back down to earth, but this should have seriously, seriously seriously been a one-on-one conversation with just him and Mat. I feel like I would have learnt infinitely more from Mat K and conversation would have actually gone somewhere, rather than stalling right at the start line every time Mat brings up an interesting thought, story or idea. Hopefully this improves in the final hour but jesus christ, this has been an embarrassment so far
