"16-Jul-2011 - Fighting the bots - An update

 

We at Jagex are keenly aware of the botting issues within RuneScape and know how disruptive they can be to our game. Whether it’s using a macro program to control an account or power levelling, it’s safe to say that it’s something that we’re all united in fighting and from the support you give us on the forums, in game and when we meet face to face, it’s crystal clear that it’s something that you; the RuneScape community, also feel very strongly about.

 

That’s why today we want to take a few moments to reaffirm our dedication to the removal of bots and cheats from RuneScape.

 

We are constantly looking into ways of making the game experience the very best possible for all of our players and as part of our on-going programme to rid the game of bots, Jagex is actively pursuing companies that support the macroing market as well as those who bot. As such we are currently pursuing various bot developers through multiple legal channels, although sadly we cannot yet disclose the full details of our actions for legal reasons. Separately, as part of normal legal process and procedure, we have also taken steps to acquire the details of all players who have purchased bots.

Once we have the information regarding the players involved we will take action specifically to ensure that these players are not compromising the game’s integrity through the use of a third party programs. We are committed to undertaking various initiatives to identify players and companies who are using and distributing bots within RuneScape and will endeavour to inform you all of these efforts as we can.

In the meantime, be safe, don’t fall to the dark side and we look forward to the positive outcomes of our actions ultimately making the game experience a better one for everyone."

 

Probably not gonna be anything serious, just a heads up to the botters out there lol

[ydoC]

I doubt it. As Jagex makes ways to find current bots, bots make ways to avoid Jagex... lol

ye, mostly meant people who bought the bots from main sites might be ******

[One]

loljagex. Good thing I don't own any bots or bot at all :P

[OIdwildy]

Rofl ofc not gf botters.

They just needed to release SOME kind of information after so many rant topics on the official forums.

 

They're probably gonna sue like 1-2 botting sites, and 2 weeks after that there will be even more bots.

Jagex doing nothing.

[Arnoo]

i doubt it.

[Salabala]

loljagex. Good thing I don't own any bots or bot at all :P

samesies. Hope they actually follow through with it cause of how bad its gotten

[I Am Fatal]

Nothing will happen you think they are honestly gonna track down every person who has bought a bot?

[Aidan]

At some point, bots are going to become so advanced their undetectable, so I guess gl jagex trying to stop it while you can lol

[Alpha]

They won't be able to do this. Getting personal information form side parties is extremely illegal.

[Feelthef1re]

Someone told me that they can't get the information off of people from countries such as Canada and the US but theres a possibility they can get user information from UK for legal reasons :S

[Xpnkrockemox]

I really cant see this happening, i think they just made a ******** post to calm down the idiots that dont bot.

[Bryan]

Isn't that illegal to get information off sites about their customers?

[Salabala]

Isn't that illegal to get information off sites about their customers?

no idea

[Ryan1]

Wont happen lol do u know half the ppl that bought bots for other people and have not boted on a account at all if thay do do this half of rs would be gone lol.

[Farcast]

That will be the day..

[Charlie]

Haven't read replies so sorry if repeat of above.

 

My point of view is to scare off the casual botters making it easier for them to focus on the hardcore botters.

[Seann]

Isn't that illegal to get information off sites about their customers?

As far as I know it is, but I never thought Bot sites could be legalised as a registered company.

[Devin]

At some point, bots are going to become so advanced their undetectable, so I guess gl jagex trying to stop it while you can lol

To be honest I'd say most are undetectable and the people who get banned are from being reported more than "x" number of times. But as Xpnk said I think it's just to stop the complaining from the 12 year olds on the forums.

[Nigeria]

I used to bot, did like 1-90 range and 1-85 str or so, but now that I'm almost maxed I'm 100% legit, I'm not going to risk an almost maxed pure. Haven't botted in 2 months.

 

But I'm no lifing chins and bandits legit instead, they better not ban me since I quit botting.

[Xx F4ta1 Xx]

If they do ban all those people they will lose a lot of cash. <

[Danny]

Won't happen.

 

A large majority of RS players bot, whether they admit it or not, and Jagex aren't the sort of people to cut there profits by such a substantial amount.

[Dice]

I think it is just to scare some people or quell fears that nothing is being done. People will always find a way to break rules anyways

[Bond]

They might ban f2p botters but p2p ones will not be touched. Jagex doesn't care as long as they get the $$$. I'd even go as far as saying they purposely brought back the wilderness/free trade knowing that they would make bank from all the p2p botters.
