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.
How they hunt?:

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@@@@@
