Damn it. I hope they start releasing them. I don't mind paying for it. I've already done all this training and money making before, I really don't want to do it again. Can't wait till some get released!
I wouldn't suspect there to be many successful bots, there are very good random events that can kill you pretty easily if you're using scripts. I'd wait a few months before seeing any good bots.
OFC you can never say runescape is micro free. Even if there are no public bots, there are always private scripts i mean comeon people make private scripts on private servers such as (Battlescape/soulsplit) so you can insure there are bots for 2007server even if they are not public.
RiD and SIMBA couldn't handle like half the randoms before those got removed, from what I remember... And those randoms at least couldn't kill your character. From what I remember in the 2005-2007 botting scene, it was not color based.
Its obviously not worth it to release a bot right now. With prices being this high botting on one acc makes more than selling a copy to 25 users for 10$ each.
