How they can tell a botter from a player?:

I'm sure we are not all pro-bot hunters and even if some people are we can still learn from each other. This will be a small guide on how to spot a bot from a legit player.

So the first thing you need to know is that there are different kinds of bots.

Mains: these are regular people who are using a bot to do skills for example alching, smithing or cooking. They are usually regular high leveled players.

Throwaways/RWTers: these are account that are used to bot on if the botter doesn’t want to risk their main or store account. Good examples of these are Rune ess miners, green dragon bots and sorceres’s garden bots. The difference between RWTers and Throwaways is that a throwaway might someties reply to you after being trapped because the owner is babysitting.

Here are some characteristics of Throwaway/RWT bots (note: if someone has one of these it doesn't make him a bot)

- They have names that make no scence and are 12 characters long for example: L3n38dbd29O0.
- Their highscores are focussed on one/two skills for example: mining only for rune ess bots and combat only for green dragon bots.
- They wear a "set" of default clothes and still have one of the default colours for that set. For example brown hunter clothes and not purple ones.
- Their hair is a strange colour and/or doesn’t usually match their clothes. Males also tend to have beard often.
- They do not wear the "old" clothes. For example a striped shirt and flared trousers.

Remember to bring Bot disrupting items like Plant Markers, Dwarven cannons and gnomeballs. Also don't forget your tele-other runes as they still prove usefull to breaking some bots.

If you can wear a Teal hat. It will get people to notice us faster. If 25 people wearing a teal hat are standing in sorcerer's garden legit players tend to ask what's happening therefore it makes it more easy to tell the difference between bots and legit players. However this in not required to attend one of our events.

- During the events we should try to not annoy real players. This includes saying things like: drop party etc.

- We do not approve of our members making random reports always report when you have a reason to suspect someone of botting.

- During the event don't start swarming the Jmods. I know some people will be exited to see a Jmod but contain yourself and don't start spamming the sceen with stuff like: OMFG A JMOD@@@@@

If you'd like to chat in-game about this thread or botting in general you can use our friends chat.

Join: "BAM clan"

I will give people ranks if I feel the need to. So don't ask for a rank.

If you want a clan cape and vex in our colours that's not a problem. I have made another clan for that. It's called BAM wing.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Great thread idea, I'll keep a check on this regularly!

 

Rofl... they can suck our big botting dicks. Kids have no lives these days don't they go out and party or go to a fucking rave besides clicking 24/7 on a game like runescape? I'd understand if it was like a high quality game like WoW, but I mean RUNESCAPE? Fucking retarded imo these kids are just mad.

Btw thanks for the info, I got a 14 day perm / re-roll on my main because of the previous bot bust session. Fuck these faggots with no life.

 

Haha I know right?
What do they gain from reporting on a GAME?
Does their e-penis get bigger?
I have no clue.

 

This is a joke..lol....


IF they REALLY wanted to catch they would ban hammer all of them without need of anyone's help or go on a witch hunt spree...
Besides the fact that they tend to catch are massive gold farmers.

 

Lmao, read this guys. It's on the thread:

 

Man, I wish I could meet all of these "Bot hunters" in real life and call them idiots.

Are they stupid or just retarded?

Makes me so mad that they're uneducated on bots that it just makes me want to admit to botting on their thread and call them out on everything lol.

I face palmed so hard though...

 

great idea, thanks for this. bot hunting = smh.

 

Thanks for the warnings, I'll be sure to babysit my bot on those times.

 

They stole our teal hat idea. Everyone should just put a teal hat on their bots. They'd rage.

 

I have a task for anyone who wishes to do it.. I need to know every date that sorc garden was bot hunted since the bot hunt group started.

 

Thank's for the information, seem's quite helpful.

 

Rofl... wannabemods be hatin' on us. Sadddd

 

woah this is a nice attempt help us thx bro.

 

Finally someone takes the initiative to post this. Thanks man.

 

They wish................. LMFAO.

 

We should totally participate. Bring your mains.

 

Talk about no life. What do they expect to gain from this sad attempt at being a mod. Do they hope that everyone in the clan will be a player mod? If I was a Jagex staff I would think "why don't you go help people do quests instead of looking for bots, you sacks of shit."

 

Oh well, this is good to know I have the real rs thread bookmark'd and on those times i just stay logged out, though I doubt they can do much to botters
