Thread: RuneScape Losing The War On Bots

What a joke.

(Oh, I'm currently botting)

Eh, old. RS has been losing the fight since RSbot was developed

I know it's old I just wrote this 'cuz Davee wants bot news. Anyways why can't I promote to article anymore -.-

Meh, Jagex is stupid.

They spend years trying to fix the problem of botting, go through 2-3 years of changes that removed free trade and the Wilderness, and countless number of lawsuits against companies selling gold, etc.

Then they just say 'Fuck it' and rerelease the Wilderness and free trade because of some poll they took a few months ago, which results just showed what people were saying since the removed free trade.

They should stop whining about it, and hire a guy that knows what he's actually doing.

Only columnists+ can. That's the way it should be. Exclusive writers aren't exactly hand chosen according to an elite scale.

There is almost no possible way to patch bots on RS. Everything in the game holds a value. Bots use that to extreme advantage. Jagex also needs these values. So they absolutely cannot patch them.

They are not allowed to use resources that would detect them running on your computer.

All they can do is catch the botter in action with things like random events.

Oh that's new. Meh whatever I still get $2 for it. I'll write a few more 'detailed' things first then apply.

I've got a method to detect all bots, at least for a day or two to catch all of them haha.

There is a way to patch them, but that isn't what I said.

And I'm not really sure what you mean by everything in the game holds a value. Monetary Value? A Variable Value? What exactly does Jagex need that the bots need? Money?

Anyway, the majority of botters use clients such as RSbot or RSbuddy to log into Runescape. They technically could detect the client, or just force all users to log in from the website.

The clients run the game through the RS website. There's no way of telling who logs in from RSbuddy unless Jagex literally detected the process on your computer.

And everything in RS holds a numerical value. Every item has a number. Runescape doesn't see items like we do. A swordfish to RS is "337". That's the fish's ID. That's how RS can categorize it and use it as an interactive item. RS uses values like these to run the game.

RS HAS to use a system like this. And the variables ARE, and HAVE to be obtainable. RSBuddy finds the IDs and uses it find things like items, objects, tiles, etc.
