Botting discussion

[Zampfeo]

I can't even imagine how much people would bitch about the costs of items in OSRS if bots didn't inflate supply.

The ease of getting 99 prayer in OSRS compared to actual OG Runescape is comical with the amount of people botting dragon hides and bones. Dragon bones cost next to nothing compared to 15 years ago. Easyscape is real, but that isn't going to stop people from living their Zezima fantasy of getting all 99s in a 1/10 of the time.

From a mechanics standpoint, spawn hunting and localized resources need an overhaul to get away from botting.

What exactly do you mean by spawn hunting?

Looking for spawns. Angler fish and the like.

the minimap refreshes every 30 minutes (maybe even less) if noone is in there. so you can place an alt which logs in and out every now and then and check if high q animal/angler fish is spawned this time. you can make it by hand or you can have a bot, which does that automatically and signals you in chat or even discord.

You can also hunt them automatically as anglers are easy to kill. Not sure about whales though.

Makes sense, their positioning is pretty static and their AI is 100% predictable.

Never really thought of it myself because I tend to be credo-ing on my combat capable character often enough to not want him stuck in a mine. Go a bit bigger with an extra fighting alt just for that and it makes sense, if a lot of work.

I almost cannot believe that people still beat the atomized powder that once was the skeleton of a horse over botting.

yep. was not sure about current fighting bot state.

How do you know this? Burden of evidence is on the accuser, not the accused.

This isn't a court of law. Burden of evidence is on everyone. Keep each other honest, and you don't have to worry about liars (as much).

And for what it's worth, KOA, or rather some the folk that make up the core of the group, has been those accused of botting in the past, so wouldn't that make them the accused, thus not needing to provide the evidence, and everyone else needing to cough up what the know and can prove, not just believe to be true? There's a lot of history in Haven that some of the newer players may not know, even some of the more veteran players if they haven't been active in the different communities.

I'm sure it's much bigger than that, especially if you start digging up the threads that have derailed into botting.
