Viewing vs running the script wont improve thier odds of dection only their odds of disabling via a tiny update.
From an automated detection process designer's point of view, knowing how a bot makes all it's decisions, makes it easier to identify from in-game activity. Maybe you disagree, but I avoid giving anything like this away in V4, and I do think it makes a difference. Unfortunately you couldn't achieve this with NeXus without abandoning the scripting culture (not to mention other things).

do you know if jagex even knows about you? Once you get target then you can start talking about the effectiveness of your alogrithms.
Actually, Jagex do know - but only as much as we allow them to - about RID. J-Mods and P-mods even held meetings to discuss ways to tackle the bot, and made us public enemy number 1 when they sent J-Mods to the MTA, as far back as Feb 2008. Despite being what would appear to be the very center of the cross-hairs, they gave up, and the last version of RID ran without a single ban for a period over a month, before I decided to take it offline anyway, to ensure the same level of success can continue in future. The RID philosophy is to achieve undetectability. I sense sarcasm, but actually I do think my mouse movements are now a perfect simulation of human movement. You are right though, an algorithm should be judged on how effective it is, not what it's author says.

a 100px jump are you insane? ours are very very very low.
Do you understand my point? I'm not sure you did. Maybe I didn't say clearly but in experiments on dummy accounts, substituting mouse movements for "jumps", I've been able to conclude Jagex's detection process rarely examines mouse movement, because I have trained skills past 90 using the most detectable mouse movements possible. The point is, you can get away with using detectable mouse movements for a long time, but will struggle to reach 99. I wasn't suggesting NeXus makes the mouse jump too far, I am saying perhaps your movements are detectable and you just aren't aware of it, if you aren't getting your users regularly to 99 and beyond it could be something to consider. The mouse movements I use, that comfortably get past all automated detection processes, don't make the mouse jump either.

well there is a problem, anytime we would show off an account, dmca. It is a great way to sell things, hell we did a test once mabey a year ago. Recorded the exp/hour and gp/hour of all of our included scripts. There was no increase in anything.
The law doesn't apply differently to RID, on Sythe you can post screenshots. I've seen NeXus advertise here before, showing screenshots of accounts getting say 50 mining or 80 wood cutting, and that's not bad, but if you guys had an undetectable bot, they'd all be 99s. The only time someone posts a screenie of getting anything less than 99 with my bot, is to show the gold they earned, or because they got a lot of Xp in one day. I've been to RSCA a few times and read what your customers say, and some of it is really good, but from comparing the overall appraisal, people seem to get 99's more often using RID. That's not an attack, but I think an extremely valid point in a comparison of the two.

Thanks for attacking my credencials, you have some truth in the fact I do not have any certifications yet. I am only starting my 3rd year as a computer engineering major @ uni of fl. Eric however is java sun certified.
Again, not an attack, nothing personal. I spoke to Eric a while back and asked him a bit about his background and he mentioned he was at uni but he wasn't studying anything computing related, and he didn't mention he'd taken a Java course in the past. Good luck with uni by the way. I have a BSc (hons) in both Mathematics and Computer Science. I owe it to the maths I studied at uni that I was able to program the mouse movements I use now. It was only after completing a 4 year CS course, I started work on my first bot. But I was more referring to Nick, I spoke to him a while ago and he had trouble distinguishing between a client and a server, and that's not an attack, just inexperience I also praised his passion for programming, but I think it's valid to take into account the skill and experience of the programmer when comparing two bots for sure.
You just slated RSBot because it's apparently more detectable than NeXus - but going by this logic, RID is better than NeXus. I do think Nick should try to sell his bot on it's own merits, and saying his script has better performance than RID, while failing to take it's actual performance into account, does seem strange to me. If there's anything else you want to know about RID feel free to ask, but I think it would be unfair to Nick if we this carry on here. This is exaMTA not RID.
