When I first started this game about 10 years ago, it was almost considered a sin to be caught botting. You would basically be banned on the spot by Andrew or Paul just because of how 'bad' it was. Then as the game grew(still talking about classic), in about 2003 they really let themselves go or so it seemed. In 2003 when everyone was anticipating the new RS2, the old school pkers were looking at the future of PKing, and literally all the chicken coops were full of people.
Chicken coops and jail guards were the best ways to get XP quickly. You used to be able to get a bot in there for 2 weeks and you would come out with a perfect 40att 1 def 99 str pure. You would have your fun, and get banned for using a runescape pking client.
But there was something different about back then compared to botting now. People used to battle for the lowest PID(player id), in which you had 'catch'(A term which means the ability to kill an npc within 2 tiles of you faster than someone with a higher PID because you are located lower down on the server list). So 1 person would literally own the entire chicken coop.
Nowadays, there is no 'catch' and its basically a 10 person FFA in training areas and its really messing and obvious o_o.
JaGeX needs to 1 of the following:
1. Ban the bot abusers who are obviously only playing the game to gold farm.
2. Bring back Catch/PID
3. ReWork the NPC/Object spawns so that everyone gets their own set of NPCs/Objects.
In a sense, the game as it grows older along with the majority of its fanbase needs to grow with us. People with real lives don't have the time or motivation to 13.000.000 xp into 1/x # of skills for 50.000 XP per hour. It's just so unrealistic.
ok, 32nd hour of non sleeping rant...if this made sense please respond..My head hurts
