I personally think it's hilarious how many complaints I've been hearing about botting recently. Before I delve into this any further, let me just say that I feel your pain and I don't condone botting at all. With that said, though ,haven't you guys noticed it started right after free trade returned? Before Jagex took away the wilderness and free trade, all people EVER complained about was bots. So Jagex implemented the new trading system, and bots were essentially rendered irrelevant. Then for the next 4 years, ALL anyone EVER complained about was not having free trade or the old PKing wildy. Now, of course, it's back... And the rage has come full circle.Moral of the story... People always have - and always will - complain regardless of what is in place. Usually it's the same people.

This is very true :/

People are always going to have something to complain about. Me personally i would prefer having the wilderness and free trade over rendering bots irrelevant. This is because the main reason i quit rs for more than 3 years was because Jagex took the Real wilderness away. People are always going to bot so there is almost nothing anyone can do about them. I was doing nothing but Pking before Jagex took the wilderness away and its the reason i quit the game. Now thats its back i plan on getting back into the wilderness as much as possible.

Wilderness + GE > Botting anyday.

[Repuslive]

I agree with you on that. Im just sayin me personally would rather have the wilderness and free trade.

Wilderness + GE > Botting anyday.

For the record, the GE isn't mutually exclusive and would exist with or without the free trade/bots.

Couldn't agree more. Tbh I don't care about the bots as I almost never skill for profit, but if I did I might be a bit angrier.

but if I did I might be a bit angrier.

You have no idea xD

I see your point. I think we put too much emphasis on other people, when really the game is for each individual.

The GE just pissed people off too. I don't know why. I have always loved it.

Nah, I remember at first everyone hated it but I think it's grown on 99% of the RS community by now.

Shoot. I can't remember how difficult it was to buy anything before the GE. Now, you just throw your money at it and relax as it buys for you instead of having to spam around banks and other places looking for whatever you wanted to buy.

tbh, the ge was one of the best updates out there. It helped circulate the flow of GP around the Runescape Economy.

Tbh, I would rather pvp and a reasonable trade limit back if Jagex doesn't find another way to fix the botting problem (if they even care)

I have two things to say:First one is that a guy made a vid about bots and it's great, and explaining all the stuff, I'll show you it wen I find him from my youtube subscriptions... Second one is that Bad things sometimes can turn into good things and I found a topic in the RS foruns about in how to make BOTS USEFULL TO YOU, and I'll copy the link to here for you guys to see.. Its actualy quite good to ppl like me that love dragon slaying :(This is a video about a guy that I realy respect and make nice vides, this video is about he commenting about Bots...
