Well, ARGA is more detectable than SRL/SCAR and iBot also it won't live nearly as long as SRL/SCAR and iBot.
Also, it's much harder to script in iBot/ ARGA making the communities for them vulnerable to unstableness…
Another thing, I think bots that are too power full like ARGA are abused by the cheating community, iBot has avoided this problem by making it pay where but that also brings up more problems, this is also why SCAR's silent mouse hasn't been fixed I believe, because it would be abused by the cheating community.
Personally I favor SCAR since it reduces leeching/ easier to script & learn/ un-abusable / almost fair for honest players in RS, but I don't really mind iBot ATM.
I hate RSDemon right now though… ARGA is starting to get on my nerves a little but I don't really care.
-Ice.

- ARGA isnt even out atm how can it get on your nerves lol?
"Well, ARGA is more detectable than SRL/SCAR and iBot also it won't live nearly as long as SRL/SCAR and iBot." - Generally ya. But i think SCAR would be more undetectable then ibot. Since scar plays from the rs site. But thats my opinion :).
"Also, it's much harder to script in iBot/ ARGA making the communities for them vulnerable to unstableness…"
- What has scripting being hard got to do with community vulnerability? Also, SCAR easy then ibot and arga i think is opinionated. Its different for different people. I found scar kinda hard but thats likely because i am so used to java. Also if arga is harder, it means more members have to use their brains so more learn. ARGA is open source might i add, so more will further learn :).
"Another thing, I think bots that are too power full like ARGA are abused by the cheating community" - That is very true. However even if we made it pay, people would abuse it. If we sold auths 10-20$ a month. We would make A LOT, and since it is the only public bot of its kind, it would be an attraction. We will also when it comes out have the ability to solve the maze random and all other randoms.
So instead of making it pay. We make it private to a maximum of 200 members thus reducing significantly abuse :). People could really run a max of 10 accounts, so 200 * 10 = 2k autoers. Theres 100 worlds. So thats 20 autoers approximately on each world. (though more free ones would be taken up, this is theoretical). There are many places to auto, mines, flax pits, varrock, rimmington, alkahid, cows, fish, karamja. SO yo would barely notice them if at all.
"Personally I favor SCAR since it reduces leeching/ easier to script & learn/ un-abusable / almost fair for honest players in RS" - Yea, scar is very good for this :). There arn't many leechers either i think.
For arga though we are trying to remove leechers kinda. We will have a newer system to allow people to obtain it. ie having a certain amount of rep, posts and then being able to apply :). One doesn't have to be a smart ass, but if they are generally helpful, nice polite, good grammer, they have a good chance :).
"ya rofl it got leeked :P but that was a crappy version" - How true loool.
