At 6:10 for the newspapers, it's not a bot just designed to acquire play time, there's always a monetary purpose for it.

You can find the community in the 'all bulks' fc in game if anyone is interested in collections/bulk supplies.

Collectors that buy obscure items is a great way for a bot to get playtime while also making pretty good money.

[@oddspaghetti4287]

Perhaps Jagex should start an item ID system and when they ban a bot they also delete all the items that bot has created. I hate the thought of there being massive amounts of botted items in the economy reducing the value of what actual players create. Just banning a bot is clearly not sufficient because the botter can just make another one. This new system would greatly increase the value of issuing bans which take valuable manpower and resources to issue.

[@kelinyates8722]

IDK how they'd implement that idea fairly. Imagine buying a whip off the G.E only to have it deleted & taken from you a few days later because it had been acquired & sold by a bot. I thought they already deleted items from the accounts that were banned anyway?

There's a mid level 60's farm in red d hide at pyrefiends next to dark beasts in 29 wild, and mid level 80's directly north at demons/cyclops. All skulled. Challenge is, see how long it takes you to find a good method( they can tank too) AND you're not allowed to risk more than 2m. Protect item allowed. No claws, ags, or voidwaker.

[@thetomnatorosrs]

Dude it’s not even hard to kill them… They pray based on ur main hand weapon… You have two options, either equip a staff and melee them of equip a melee or ranged weapon and mage them… best way is to wear occult neck, book of flames, fire surge while wearing a crossbow of d scim.

The runecrafting botters are using a very simple auto clicker. There are no variables in the whole process.Banking at the crafting guild works because you teleport to the exact same spot every time. Same with teleporting to your house, then using the fairy ring, and then the short cuts. You walk the exact same path each time, so the screen remains fixed in one location, with the specific timed intervals between each click, rinse and repeat. Crafting guild bank combined with fairy ring in house can provide a multitude of methods for this simple style of botting, which can go undetected for a long time, provided you're smart about how often you do it. I did 99 fishing through karambwans this way, as well as 99 runecrafting through nature runes. Also some other skills like construction, prayer, cooking, smithing through blast furnace, agility

[@Bamblagram]

No you didn’t

[@otallono]

lol jagex has been able to detect things like that since ages ago. An exact number of clicks at an exact time interval, no random pauses or variation in click region? Not possible. And if there is, then it's a script not a simple auto clicker.

That was my first thought as well, but when he said the anti cheating team looked into it and it looked like all of them but one was botting for personal gain, I assumed they came to that conclusion by not seeing them trade or sell large quantities of these things, and also they probably see them actually playing the game on occasion and not just farming 24/7.

What I have learned from your videos is, bots tend to have Obsidian gear a lot. I saw someone in almost full Obsidian armor and the 3-tick sword, killing seagulls. His only stats were Defense and HP. Everything else was 1. Didn't say a thing. Port Sarim.

[@jamesparker223]

It's weird y'all don't know this. But I'll say. I was a botter. I made a few grand back in the day. A "maxed account" farming is just good cloaking. For some reason people don't know how good bots are. I had bots that would do every quest. Some bots were so advanced they would auto level the stats required for those quests. So my method for making cash at the time were those black drags in that purple area where you climb down with a rope. (It's been years lol) But basically having a full build kinda account would be less suspicious and take longer to get banned. So you just set the account to make money profiting each skill one by one. And then if it gets to max you park it at drags until it gets banned. And while that account is going for maxed it's making profit off of wood or runes or herbs or slayer. Whatever it's doing. People don't realise how little each account means. They mean nothing. And I was a tiny tiny botter in a sea of big fish. And I had 20 running at once. There were guys running waaaaaaay more than 20 lol. I was running those 20 while playing wow or league on the side. One gets banned I just make a new one. And they even sell prebotted mid accounts for a few dollars. Even still I'd just make a few hundred mid accounts from scratch and just keep them on reserve everytime one biggie got banned. It was just running 20 accounts all of them with the goal of farming drags until they got there. And there were several times I had all 20 accounts at maxed for long periods. Never once was I "mass banned" or even had more than three or four banned in one go. It's all bullshit. Bots cannot be stopped. They are way more advanced than you think and they are way cheaper than you think. AND a two year old could get them running. They sell scripts for dummies. Literally just pay and click start. I believe the RFD barrows gloves full quest complete was like 75 dollars. This was...... Almost 10 years ago? I dunno what time is. I'm old. And have a real job 😂. But imagine how cheap a script is now. And everytime something starts getting people banned the scripts get reviewed and then updated. It's literally like yelp. Four or five bad reviews and no one will buy that script again. I have no doubt the scripts are so good by now that you couldn't even tell. You could probably add them and have a convo with them for weeks. All the while it's a chat gpt incl bot.

I'll be honest with you, many maxed capes in runescape are botted. I've been in many runescape discords where people openly admit to botting their maxed accounts. Meanwhile, I know many real players who have been banned for non game-breaking reasons, like 3rd party auotypers or trading with friends after a RWT warning. Honestly, bots are all runescape has left. Many of the real players moved on because jagex has failed miserably to reverse unfair bans unless that person is Odablock. At this point I think to get all the real players back, runescape would have to have another server reset. It has gotten out of control at this point, most max capes are botted while so many real players I know have quit due to Jagex's failed bot detection system or anti-cheat system screwing them over. Realistically speaking, a real player would never rebuild after being unfairly banned because who is to say it won't happen again? meanwhile, a botter will just bot a new account no problem. And that's why I say all we have are bots left, unfair bans effect whole friend groups not just the person with the account. I've seen whole clans go under over a few key players getting banned for shit reasons.. At this point tho, it's just not my problem anymore. Best of luck to Scapers who still play but to the rest of us, it was fun while it lasted!

[@jakeshoemark5343]

Good evening Sir, there's been two to three bots in almost every world at the lesser demon in the wizard tower, every night for the last week. No idea what they're doing as they've got no stats :// Keep it up man !

[@dylanwicklund5129]

Yeah I seen that same thing with the newspapers on a member world just last week so I think they may be doing it still

[@SpaceBlondie]

@SirPugger For some reason after binge watching your videos i feel the need to create an OSRS account for the sole purpose of bot hunting as it seems pretty lucrative too considering my account will be solely focused on hunting them and not chasing the max GP per hour mindset. What are your thoughts about that, is it worth it for a small amount of dopamine per bot kill?

[@harleykidd7910]

You’d be your own anti-cheating team because Jagex doesn’t care about their game. If they gave a damn, there wouldn’t be a 80/20 split between real players/bots.

[@SpaceBlondie]

@@harleykidd7910 i guess it makes sense since it is a very old game, hence why it isnt getting updated or handled properly

[@theres_two1830]

Love what you're doing for the community! Keep up the fantastic work brother ❤

[@Gabe94dotcom]

Lmao me too ❤

[@ahiowehfiowjit]

Why? You realize this weakens the economy / player base right?

[@Saviorborn]

The heck is that cannon in the first clip

[@hellothere2214]

I found a maxed account cutting mahogany trees on isle of soul and banking the logs at the soul wars bank and then running back. It takes like 5 minutes each way to walk there

[@osstienter6441]

6:27 I've seen similar bots at the forthos dungeon killing undead druids

[@Deter872]

@SirPugger Those Newspaper Bots are most likely selling their newspapers to the Non- GE item collectors. They generally go for about 750-1000gp each, so they made about 159,000,000. This is just a guess though.

[@Gabe94dotcom]

Lol 😊😊❤

[@michaelrodriguez6210]

I can tell you this, I used to bot the ranging guild in rs2. This was during the time you could run a bot 24h with no problems

[@modreflex]

Juzilla (main acc I been tracking) , been doing a lot of Sarachnis and have noticed maxed bots auto clicking or scripting the “Grubby chest” door… (15 thriving xp) … maxed account 2k plus … you can glitch them to walk away and click the wall…

[@TermoilUp]

hey pugger i sent you an email about the bots at canifis rooftops maybe some other people sent it too. but yea there are a lot of 30 or below accounts just training agility to 70s 80s at canifis

[@randomshotz13]

Imagine how good loot would be if bots weren't flooding the market with supply

[@charlesratcliffe6839]

The boss wasn’t dead. As long as you don’t get hit by the magic pools/hellhounds you don’t count as being in combat since you never get hit. I just logged from pkers there until I finished Coll log.

[@javierkiman8302]

People make a sensible choice in how to bot or not to bot for their account. I rather just have the usual/classic fun of understanding a slightly slower pace that fits me that is different than what school makes some people assume of what it is from bad education on young terrible mindset on things. Some people play as frame/pixel perfect mindset at something in software games. I don't focus on mathematics or statistics or detail of something. I keep it simple to get by summarizing to what it possibly will be. There is some complexity and complications that I do not do because it is too much for one second to the next. Because it is as fast as milliseconds in calculating a strategy to something.

[@pixelgriffstudios]

I just maxed an account from level 3 to Max in just 4 months, they even have a bot that does all quests in the game. Uses human mouse movement so undetectable.

[@lugiamaster9707]

This looks to be the 3rd current running mining bot at mlm, I'm reporting 10+ accounts a day between them. One of them has accounts with at least 106 fm from wintertodt and 2-3 bots per world. Another has waaaay higher stat's, almost base 80s with the odd exception of very low smithing and 1-2 per world

[@MrTheSharkie]

Canifis rooftop course is flooded with bots this past week

[@phattskoopz769]

what if they dont use runelite? are you able to look up their stats still?

[@thetomnatorosrs]

Go check out the iron ore mining bots in high risk PvP world in mining guild… or in other worlds. All between 40-50 cb with 90+ mage for some and 90+ mining. They all have the same pattern, they mine, bank, move to the exact same tile everytime and sometimes they just stand at the deposit box for a minute

[@danielthespringerspaniel2047]

I've been seeing a bot on most worlds at temple spiders when I'm training there they are collecting the red eggs

[@FarHorizons255]

5:08 this cracks me up 😂😂😂😂

[@sippycupsamurai669]

I saw the bot that repeats all the curses and "Ffs really" at the GE, no clue why it was a thing, just sat there and spammed the same string of curses

[@MrAdmiralKush]

if it means gold becomes cheaper and items become cheaper then why not. I havent played in ages and dont think the numbers of RS is going up, if the bot farms were killed I feel like everything would skyrocket

[@JustGambs]

The newspaper bots are probably someone trying to get odd green stacks of items

[@bojjold]

As a collectionner of random items that can’t be trade on the GE, I would love to know who is behind this newspaper bot farm :)

[@shaun9156]

Found another item being potentially used to mule gp, Raw Rat Meat 330gp each.

[@YltimateUIM]

I love how the dude has "hammer" identified

[@_barncat]

gg jagex, your priorities are definitely in line

[@Gabe94dotcom]

Lol ❤😂

[@BiddahSweet]

Tons of bots doing DEATH RUNES. One I reported was named joraavson. There are so many and I cant believe theyve done that many quests to just bot on. Ill edit this with more names of the botters. Also I reported hundreds and hundreds of bots at black chins. I had to delete my ignore list several times. One time they did a drop trade right in front of me randomly just muled it off to another account.
