Just to let you guys know, there will be a cap on how many hours you can use per day, and per week. The figures I'm thinking at the moment are, 12 hours at most in a single day and no more than an average of 6 hours a day in a week, so that's a maximum of 42 hours per week.
There has always been a debate about this amongst users of the bot, and even some resentment from responsible users, toward people who use it 24/7. I'm sure legitimate players at the MTA would be annoyed if they knew people were botting there just for a few hours a day, but if they knew people were playing 24/7, bringing the prices down, they'd resent it even more. There's no question by allowing players to play RuneScape 24 hours a day, it gives an advantage, so we're removing the ability to do this from V4. All bots we release in the future will use the same limit on maximum number of hours used per day and per week, so if you were to use 20 hours of MTA you'd only have 22 hours left that week to use other bots, such as the PC bot, which we are looking forward to in November.
There is a massive leap in quality when compared to the last version, absolutely massive, and it's set to improve even further after release. It so closely resembles human activity now, it may well prove impossible for Jagex to detect anyone using it. One of the key features, is each bot performs differently - no two are the same, furthermore no script or intel on what the bot does can be obtained from analysing the client application - I have not heard of any bot Jagex have come across, having either of these features.
