    Don't they make these types of announcements like every 6 months?

    This sort of thing looks scary at first, but for example with idungeon, how would you get the information about every account that has ever been run on this bot? I'm not even sure it would be legally possible to force the bot owners to do that, as botting is nothing illegal.

    ha, it isn't illegal to bot on their game and never will be, it's just against their policy.

    Obviously they are not going to do anything. JaGex is a company, companies want money. However if they make an announcement saying "We're not going to do anything about bots because we are money milkers", everyone who doesn't bot will complain.

    So they obviously have to convince people that they are trying to stop the botting community.

    Who is Daniel Clough? Is he a JMod or someone else, usually on updates they say which team posted it, not with names.

    Their only lead is the emails that you have attached to your account. You're probably going to be completely safe, even if this is legit, so long as your Paypal email from the Paypal account used to buy the auths does not match the email attached to the account you're botting on.

    This.

    I think it's absolute bullshit how they think they can just simply get a hold of our personal information. They can't detect bots and they know it. The only reason they keep saying this is because the legit players are giving up on playing and Jagex can't simply afford them leaving the game.

    ^ This. Actually if they manage to get my details i'm going to sue the fuck out of their ass...aquiring our personal details for purchasing something they do not own, i'm pretty sure that's illegal.

    lawl, standard scare tactics, they are severally underestimating the amount of bots if they think they are going to be able to start banning individual players. lol fagex
