Crazy thought, ban bots?

What if we banned the 65 hunter bots in every single zone you step into?

They all have a gray mainhand axe from starting zone, and an asian name as their hunter pet, and click to move.

I could hire my 8 year old nephew for $3 an hour to ban them if you want, since it’s blatantly obvious.

Just a thought, or just keep killing ur game, whatever works for you.

Theres always at least 5-6 bots in tanaris farming turtles.

100% BoE gear from AH not a single quest done in their lives. 3 runes because the bots still don’t utilise 5 runes in their programming. Go filter this to troll hunters and you’ll catch every one of the bastards in 10 seconds.

the bots click?

Yup, tons of hunter/warr bots in Tanaris 24/7 with 2-3 runes and full ah boes…
I mean they’ve been reported countless times but they just let them keep going.

That used to be the primary way bots moved around the world, by enabling click to move. But not sure if the chinese industry bots use that or not.

Don’t worry. In three months when they do a ban wave, maybe they’ll get them. After they’ve already farmed and sold thousands and thousands of gold. And they’ll be right back to farming for a another few months when the next ban wave hits.

Until Blizz actually hires GMs to actively police the game and ban bots in real time…they’re clearly not taking the issue seriously. Blizz really does seem to want to make sure it’s profitable for bots to keep coming back.

Bots on OSRS don’t even have to move the mouse for the hardest thing in game.

I think its naïve to think they need that here.

100% BoE gear from AH not a single quest done in their lives. 3 runes because the bots still don’t utilise 5 runes in their programming. Go filter this to troll hunters and you’ll catch every one of the bastards in 10 seconds.

And the next wave will be using Orc hunters.
And then the next will use more runes.
And then they’ll have basic questing logic.

The second a clear pattern emerges on how bots are being found and banned, the second the program evolves.

Didn’t the new OSRS owner basically say bots are fine?

Their bot busting stream a little while ago would tell me otherwise.

Was during the 11th birthday stream if you are interested. Was the end at 1:17~

Article here

“Bots are a part of the RuneScape ecosystem, they just are,” the person close to CVC told us. They continued: The main focus within the game is to make sure the excesses of bots are policed and managed. Flagged accounts are managed out of the game, and therefore what is left inside the game is a sort of equilibrium of players and bots… if I have [three accounts] there’s a good chance that one of them is me and two accounts are bots… If a player is sufficiently committed to pay for three accounts, and have an account and two bots as part of its ecosystem, then so be it. But the management team of Jagex police excesses of bots and make sure that bots do not become problematic in the game.

In other words…hey, if you want to pay for 3 accounts 2 of them are bots, then no problem. Just don’t make an excessive amount of bot accounts! :rofl:

There was a huge blowup about this.

Runescape for one.

So not OSRS. Two different games and totally different teams.

I could careless what Runescape is like.

Would be their stream. Cheers.

Tragic if this was made to try and call me out :S At least get the games right then. XD

It’s about all of Runescape, actually.

But whatever, it’s still saying that making bot accounts are okay so long as you don’t make more than 2 or 3.

There was such a backlash they needed to walk it back and put out an update about how they deal with bots.

My man gets it from some dodgy site and its gospel XD

You are beyond a joke.

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/bots-bans-and-appeals-an-update?oldschool=1

Would be their stance on it, at least we get concrete numbers and talking to. Instead of the most bland “we banned this many bots”

Not to mention a stream of them going around smacking bots in-game. Kekw.

There’s a level 40 rogue bot that has been running into the Alliance base in Arathi Highlands and dying for 4 days straight. It still isn’t banned.

That’s literally the update I said they made because of the backlash… :man_facepalming:

I guess fanboys will fanboy.

You are trying to gaslight it.

Coming from financial times sounds legit.

They came out because people have been asking about bots for time, and also another bot busting stream. The community actually cares about getting rid of them there, unlike here.

They deal with bots that actually inject code.

We got the same path walking/fly hacking bots here since ph1.

Blizzard bans in waves roughly every 30-90 days.

4 days is not out of the realm of possibility.

Bots haven’t been resolved in the last 20 years, why start now?
