they dont do it to get an advantage, they do it because it makes them a lot of money due to currency differences.

if you wanna be mad, be mad at rich noobs and stakers who keep buying the gold

Naturals ends of an unregulated economy, it's also the reason dchains are less than 1m in modern osrs and yews are barely 500gp each
It's not all bad, all things considered, but it does eliminate some money-making methods from the game forcing people to find other monotonous, shitty things to do (not that woodcutting was ever more than that either though)

>>388093909
How do people make money off of fake game gold?

>>388093954
And yet if Jagex hired a few moderators (with money) whose primary task was to wander around the world and ban obvious bots, most of this would go away.

>>388094096
What are you, stupid?

>>388094096
are you not aware of the concept of goldselling? you can buy gold for most if not all MMOs, why do you think theres so many bots everywhere dumb dumb.

>>388094138
Jagex doesn't really care, and if all goldselling was prohibited the entire staking scene would die out, and the game would probably slowly die.

ive been banned for botting 100s of times and have never been IP banned, the main account i transferred all my botted money to was never banned, they don't wanna get rid of goldsellers

>>388094138
My point is that it's not a malicious problem and macroers get buttfucked in waves frequently anyways but when you have a monotask bot all you have invested in it is one skill, i.e. woodcutting, so any bot farm is easily replaceable when you get your dozen or so accounts banned
It's a solution without problem inherent to the mechanics of runescape, but that's my point, it's not as bad of a thing as many would think, it just means you can't make money on low-investment activities like f2p resource gathering
The upside is such things are very cheap, good for producers to get easy levels and also profit since far fewer people bot production

rs2 became rs3 which is a shitty WoWclone
Then jagex put out oldschool runescape (osrs) which is just rs2 and they've been releasing small things for it since, mostly stuff to kill, minigames, and a couple of quests
https://2007.runescape.wikia.com
Play f2p on your old account up until 40 or so in all the f2p skills and see if you like it still, it's what I did and I still play today

>>388095285
I bet
I'll never forget that feeling when i picked up the game in middle school and found out that you could actually talk to people through a game on the internet

>>388094328
if you've been banned hundreds of times you've learned how to not be banned, right? how do I bot to high levels with low chance of ban? I always seem to get hit with a permaban around the 85wc mark

I don't get it though, if you're going to be AFK, why not just logout? Serious question, I don't have much experience with MMOs.

>>388095632
Most people would rather not have to punch in and out every time they need to get up and use the bathroom

>>388095552
i stopped botting because i kept getting banned.

if you use a public bot and a public script you will 100% eventually get banned. even if you use a premium bot and premium script that no-one else uses, they might update their anti cheat and ban you months later after finding out about the new script.

tl;dr: bots arent meant for main accounts

We were all new and clueless back then, and the mystery made it fun. Now the only people who play it know everything. Also wikis are a thing now which makes things even easier.

The server fucking sucks anon. I logged on and there were only 8 people online, most of them faggots. So then I look up the skill levels of the server, and some people are at 99 in multiple skills, so I'm like wtf I'll use a mining bot to train mining a little as it looks like everyone else bots. Then all of the fucking sudden one of the admins goes on a fuckibg r'eddit tier power trip and teleports me to the jail. I represented 12% of the active players online at the time and they fucking ban me. Bunch of faggots

Why the actual fuck would you play a shitty hacked version of RS full of abusing admins which will just get shutdown when some autist gets bored of his project?

>>388096432
can I have your bot? is there an open source flax bot anywhere that would work for vscape? That'd be a way to instantly git gud at the server

>>388096432
you got what you deserved, botter scum
also the game is more alive in hours when americans are awake
>>388096440
the server is funded for years and our devs are great for the most part

>>388096496
flax isn't worth shit outside of startup coin and fletching 99 which is overrated in terms of profits
just max thieving

>>388096667
but that's a reward for not being afk

>>388096496
You can make a bot fairly quickly and easily anon, especially if it's just a clicking bot. Just learn the very basics of a programming language like Visual Basic, and then Google "how to move and click mouse with Visual Basic" and you can make a bot. Takes about 1-2 days of learning to do, so it's not a huge time commitment to learn

>>388096729
Really? I thought these things only appear when you were grinding shit

>>388096609
it was like 600gp ea last time I played, which was like over 1.2m an hour, which will get you most of the barrows sets pretty quickly aside from people jewing dh

That's not starter cash. either way it beats killing 50,000 dragons in hopes of a visage, could and have literally farmed 10x that value in the time it would've taken to get a vissy drop

>>388094096
I've spent thousands of dollars buying MMO currencies over the past 15 years
lots of people do it

>>388096790
>Just learn the very basics of a programming language like Visual Basic
I'm probably legally retarded so that's out of the question, but if there's a public Simba script out there it might just work, so long as it's just detecting pixels

>>388096819
meanwhile you gain no xp
don't get me wrong I didn't ironman my barrows like a retard but you gotta balance xp and profit gains

>>388096793
no it was random

>>388096914
a few hours of nogainz won't kill you

either way I got my dh set on /v/scape a few years back when it was like 500k-800k a piece, they'll jew you 2M-3M a piece now so what you're saying is a little more understandable.

Tarzandan also crashed the fury market for a while so I grabbed some of those

>>388097053
dh is like 1.5m/piece atm and duperdan's been banned for ages kek

>>388097027
damn, still never got it though

>>388097205
they banned dan? fucking cucks.
Foxter was always butthurt about dan buying out the feather shops on his alts. He was the only admin that called it "exploiting"

And then when he got fired, he used the database to steal peoples accounts and shit. He was the only real problematic dev other than that one in odelscape that abused spawning and stuff, can't remember their name but they're still in the steam group

>>388097387
shiggydiggy, noiryx, telescope and quietess all got decrowned too but all that's before my time

I wish the ::stats function was implemented upon game release, only shows as far back as when it was released in late '15

but yeah, quietess was the one who abused spawning (as far as I know), foxter was a powertripper who stole peoples info, and pepsikazu still has millions of stacks from where he either spawned shit or duped - I don't have much clarity there, but he seems unpunished

>>388097053
current /v/scape prices are because there's been a huge influx of suckers lately as much as because the jews are getting bad

if you're buying from friends who are oldfags you can still get old prices, even when those same people will charge 3x as much to newfriends

>>388097854
bebsi is ded anyway so it hardly matters
post IGN

>>388098209
I guess I'm a sucker then, but that's alright
How are whip prices looking? I bought mine for less than 1m I think when Latent was crashing them long before him being mod was even a thought. He also abused pk'ing bugs like whip spec making people skull on him instead of vice versa to get serious loot. Also has a modified client which has been disapproved by bobster which he was also banned for at one point

I sort of just mind my own business though, I was never really good at runescape. I spent a week straight doing earth warriors from 60 to 70 slayer before they added that pve timer and you could 100% afk things

>>388098286
I'm bankstanding, come say hello before I get AFK kicked. guarantee you've probably never heard of me though, was never a yellfag unless I needed trades

>>388094096
In MMOs people pay real money so they don't have to play their favorite game.

>>388098479
omw

>>388093794
What do the chinese have to do with runescape bots? Botting RS is as old as the game itself.

>>388098416
whips 1-2m ea atm

>>388098416
whips have been all over the place from week to week when I was playing a lot, 500k-3m
I haven't been active in the past 2 (or maybe 3?) months anyway so I can't really say for sure, they were stable at 1.5m for a while but the people with huge stockpiles were holding out so it's probably on a steady rise

>>388098658
Chinese and Russians started using hundreds of bots at the same time to make more gold that they would sell for real money. Before that people were mostly only botting on their own accounts which wasn't a huge problem.

>tfw used to play with friends from school and they were godlike scammers two of them had phat sets and gave me rares like santa hats they didn't even give a fuck about the game and quit the game after a year or so
>mfw prices of these rares today

I never scammed because I felt too bad doing that to people. I ended up forcing myself to quit by liquidating my bank account to get runes so i could meme in castlewars with potions and powerful magic. I spent like 200m there and then quit.

Is it worth having an alt just for cannonballs? I'm new and it seems to be the best low barrier of entry moneymaking

>>388099354
yeah unless jagex culled accounts or things got lost in the transfer to rs3 then their accounts probably still have all those phats sitting there too. Hell if I kept everything of mine I would be loaded too. I was able to buy a santa hat back when they were only 400k, the most I had at once was a mask set, santa and i think one of those eggs all at once, most of it legit my scamming buddies gave me one of the masks. fuck knows what that would be worth now.

>>388096003
Different dude, but my account is 10 years old now. My rs3 is botted, and so are my osrs stats. If youre gonna bot, use a good client that uses the new mirroring method, its safer. Also schedule random breaks for the script. I would also advise you to train different skills every few hours, or maybe each day. Dont bot one skill for a week, it's not human. Also if you can, only bot when youre around. I bot while im playing another game on my other monitor, that way if someone tries to talk to me I can quickly respond and look human.

But yeah, I wouldnt risk on your main. You can bot loads and the first thing you'll get is a warning. After that it will be a ban. So you could always bot till you get a warning.

>>388095890
Back around 2011/12/13 I used to bot just about 24/7 and nothing has happened, none of my skills got lowered from it nor did I ever get a ban. Did they step up their anti bot activities?

>>388100910
yeah around 14/15 i believe

>>388101040
Huh, and here I thought Jagex just plain didn't care about bots

>>388101232
they kinda don't though, it's weird.

i have 100s of botted accs banned and i have never been IP banned, the main account i traded all the botted money to has never been banned.
