Time 7:46 and on.



Question
Why aren't you doing anything about bots?

Andrew:
We are doing things on bots, I mean the amount of time we spend on combating bots is horrible actually.
We spend an awful a lot of resource on it, it's a shame we waste so much time doing that.
We just launched a new detection system in the last couple of weeks which massively improves our ability to detect bots, it gives us all sorts of extra ways of ways to detect them. We were only able to detect them previously but now we're able to detect them with less sort of human actions if you like, which means we can work through them quicker. There's definitely going to be a mass-ban coming. This time it's going to hurt because people bot on their mains because of the trade restrictions. We've got countless ways of detecting them, that they're nowhere near or even close to undetectable.

 

Nothing new, T4S.

 

[hey guys]

Jagex has to bluff every now and then.
They are going easy on us by doing rollbacks/etc

This isn't true. JaGex does their best to detect bots, but a Mass-Ban is a little unreasonable Botting is not aloud but, there is no way to get caught if you're talking like a normal person, or do a few movements with your mouse every now and then. Just watch when you bot, and don't leave it running all night unless your right next to the computer. When players report you, JaGex checks it within an hour if it's botting. (This goes for 3rd Party Software). JaGex does have a way to look at your account, with mouse movements, recent clicks & other pathway effects. If you don't stop your bot every now and then, kiss your account goodbye. (I'm a player moderator) if you are a little curious. We've had this discussion over the forums and it's quite pointless.

I remember the lass mass ban was in soul wars, and it was pretty easy to detect bots there.

They will probably ban the useless botters in my opinion, with either crappy scripts or those who suicide.

this is old

I didn't play for 2 years so i just started botting and i bot 24/7 since they probably forgot about my ip or whatever so i think im fine this mass ban though its a threat and if there is one i dont want to see threads raging about it. It is no ones fault but your own for botting...

pomg haxxxxx

o well i need to bot 1000 zeal

 

[RunescapeTM]

Easily fakeable , i honestly dont think this is real :S

 

[oblivion9032]

I think that if they were going to do a mass ban, they would have done it by now.

 

[NextSoulreaper]

Agreed with oblivion, I have botted to 99 cooking "IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS"
and I have 700k exp till 99 which i'll have tonight. Jagex is bluffing.

Found this on the rs forums too.

Hello everyone,
My name is Mod Andrew and I have a tiny penis. I would like to let you all know that I have a boyfriend who is 6 foot 7 and black. We are in love. This is all.

 

[jeremy31695]

hahahaha ^^^

 

im worried about this as well. ive never botted before but i recently contracted weasel2013 to do sum rnage for meh. so i guess will see wat happens.

 

[Klapoog]

they are just telling boulshit tbh to scare botters.

 

[Nimmer]

It's probably a bluff. I botted to 99 Fishing and 99 WC and nothing has happened to me.

 

[Classics]

Doubt this is real and how could they possibly detect a bot from a human any better then they already do?
