- We’ve made a number of technical changes to the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon resource area which will make frost dragon killing harder and less profitable for bots, without impacting upon the experience of legitimate players. This is just the first in a series of initiatives we’re taking to tackle bots for good.

what do you think they are going to do next ?

So if legits do Frosts now it will be more profitable? How is that possible?

 

[Contradiction]

So they will raise in price, that means a potential investment. And they say it will become less profitable.. *Evil laugh*Muahahahaha*Evil laugh*

 

[:) <3]

How do they plan to make it less profitable for bots?

 

[Time To Buy]

I'm interested in knowing *how* they did this. I'm glad they did though

 

[Cloud owns u]

Hmm.. If this works fml because the bones may skyrocket again xD

start buying dem bones

How do they plan to make it less profitable for bots?

maybe it will be harder for them to enter the dungeon

I'm interested in knowing *how* they did this. I'm glad they did though

i hope someone can post what they did exactly do

Apparently frost dragons use ranged now.

So much for a 'technical fix' that does not 'impacting upon the experience of legitimate players'.

Although it'll be fun when retarted bot farm owners don't read updates and flick their frost dragon bots back on.

 

[♥Z♥]

If they make portal ids constantly changing to random ids then fuck with bots.

 

[Coinshare]

They have a blue ball around them and if you don't move you'll be hit a 300



Lol

 

[Airman Gilbert]

i give it a week and fdk bots will be updated and running flawlessly again.

 

[Phantom866]

Meh. Don't count on it.

 

[Pure nitros]

...... fuck oh well at least the gold price will probably go up again whitch is a good thing

 

[CraigEnsLtd]

Lol, They can hardly detect botting, so how do they think they're going to give non-botters a more profitable trip than botters?


Lol'd @ Jagex

 

[Cloud owns u]

Crap, now I can't really look away when I kill them -.-

 

[Determinate]

If they make portal ids constantly changing to random ids then fuck with bots.

Then just tell the bot to click on a set of coordinates...

On October 17, 2011 the mechanics to Frost Dragons received an update. They were given a ranged attack, similar to Mithril Dragons, as well as a new rebounding effect. When fighting Frost Dragons, a small blue orb will appear and start circling the dragon. It is important that you do NOT attack while the orb is out, as it will rebound any damage you would've dealt back to yourself 100%. Therefore, it is important that you have your auto-retaliate switched OFF when fighting these dragons. The orb will circle 3 times before it disappears, after which you can resume killing your dragon. With this update, cannons have become an unwise choice. This makes frost dragons a tougher monster to fight, but should not heavily hinder any legitimate player trying to kill them.

from runescape wikipedia.

I decided to buy 14m worth of frost dragon bones just now, or 1k, as it would be unwise to use cannons, which makes it loads harder to get frost dragon bones. I bet they'll rise, eventually at least.

 

[Tcukid33]

This means my 17.5k bones ive botted more profitable

 

[Emperor Nero]

So you guys think the bones are going to be a worthy investment?
