just read this they think they are so smart eh. Apparently none of them know anything about us or bots in general. I will post here just incase someone deletes that post because of us finding out.

Prior to putting this out on the forums I submitted this to Jagex. The reply from Mod was to make the suggestion on the forums so it can be improved. So here goes, a perfect way to end macroing for good... 

I will try to be as detailed as possible however I reserve the right to add more later.

I am so tired of bots, they seem to be over running the game. When I go to WC there are tons of 'em at fishing I see them and now that I am working on mining again I keep seeing them there as well. Now I know there are some very smart people who read these forums and I think between us all and Jagex we can put something together to stop the prob.

Here is my idea: first and foremost put fences or barricades or something around all of the main hotspots for WC, Fishing, and Mining (or add doors if area is already enclosed). Then make the doors to these places have a PIN just like your bank. The bots program cannot get through because of the random number set. I know it sounds so simple, but it is the simple ideas that work the best... To expound on it you could create the Gunthix Enviornmental Protection Agency (God of Balance ) To protect the areas and help out peeps who have not seen them. Added benefit would be more peeps having to set a bank pin so they can access key areas (even f2p). I know it would be annoying running in and out of a PIN area but the positive effect it would have would be worth it. We all got used to the bank PIN's didn't we? And the area PIN's could be the same so that you do not have to re-enter as long as you remain logged in.

OK, that is the basic idea now let me know what you think but be nice...

Howa 308

heres more ideas.

Great thought, I see the point of macroes not loggin out. So here is the fix: 

First, make the pin required randomly like say every 5 or 10 or 15, you never know when it will be required. Jagex should also look at putting a database together of peeps who can't get through the PINS. Give them a list to work on to help get rid of macroes as well.

Second, lets make a new random only in those areas that requires you to enter the PIN but as a reward you can bank your items with that random???? How does that sound? I like the gravedigger guy cause it lets me bank, something like that but with a PIN required would be awesome. No other activity (gravedigger, mime, sgt, etc) type stuff just a banker guy stops by and asks your pin and takes your stuff in for you!!!! Perfect!

thats all really but it would be better if you went there and read it because they all think it's like the smartest idea in the world lol.

Rofl. It would be rather annoying though

I know i just love how they think they are so clever and we could defeat their ideas within a week.

InPin anyone? ;)

I want to say:
"If macroers can click trees, they can type numbers"

but its fun to let them think they are leet.

Wow, reading a number from the screen and inputting in into a pin interface could not be easier.

They kinda tried this with rsc and sleeping bags. Got owned by ocr. The bots were better than real people at doing it.

i just woke up. but this made my day.
indeed InPin. but jagex will never do something like that. because its annoying real players to. legit players are mostenly stupid :)

Lol if jagex does ever impliment this they'll prolly just do the same as the bank pins. Type it in once and your good till you log out. Lol Silly people..

What I find most annoying is the fact that all the snobbish mods continue with their pity rs-businesses, while they should indeed be hunting and banning bots. Its such a simple and elegant solution, let the mods do the dirty work. But I have never seen a Mod hopping worlds around a yew-spot, banning lvl-3 bots on-the-spot.

On the other hand, a lot of bots are actually members, so Jagex has no intention of banning those. Moreover, I am convinced that the top-20 RS-Players are in fact cheaters. Zezima, for a fact, has been banned on numereous occasions, but has always been unbanned by his influencial friends. I mean come on, how on earth is it possible to gain over 1.084.000.000 xp? A simple sum learn us this guy must have been playing for 3.7 years 10 hours straight every day at a rate of 100.000 xp per hour!

I say impossible. The guy is a cheater.

Furthermore if you look at the rs highscores, you learn that the difference between the number 1 and the number 5 is immense, beyond believe. Number one has almost twice as much xp as the number 5. I guess the only skill that looks ok by the number is Agilty.

Would be interesting to toss the abovementioned at the runescape forums :)

Those ideas make me rofl so hard lol..

So hard that my back hurts from rolling on the hard floor :( :D

Anyways, that is just plain dumb, a) About the barrikades, we can make a DDTM of a barricade and bypass it by clicking beside it by one pixel

b) Umm random number in opening doors? Neva heard of captcha? Neva heard of solving captcha? Neva heard of GetTextAtEx Fagex0ts? :D

First, make the pin required randomly like say every 5 or 10 or 15, you never know when it will be required. Jagex should also look at putting a database together of peeps who can't get through the PINS.


roflmaoz0rzlol - umm "InPin: Boolean" since cavemans. Everyone can get through pins. It is more possible that a human fails the pin than a machine.


but its fun to let them think they are leet.

Indeed, but more fun would be to let them somehow show how wrong they are :D

propably all the rs noobs ( phr33 g33p33z plawkx?) would say

"0mfgz0r a deayanamic dtM 0.o me jus klix 0n t3h rand00m??"

@Fawki: what is stopping?

EDIT: Fawki if you post it, make a new rs acc named WT-Fakawi to post it on ;)

EDIT EDIT: Oh, PwNZoRNooB didnt know you're from Finland too.

Lol :D
If they can get the pin why wouldn't we get it :p
Bots can mine ores, cut trees, why couldn't they press some funny numbers, people don't even think the things they write on the rs forums… :)

Cant create WT-Fakawi anymore, some imbicile took it from me :) I got TW-Fawaki though

Anyway, yeah I might. I do have a point there, right?

Hey!:@ Just because im the number one player in RS doesn't mean I cheat… ;)… hey wait a sec, what am I doing on these forums?! :S

@Fakawi: P mods can only mute on the spot. Other than that they're exactly the same as normal players. Can just report people.

I doubt jmods are going to hop from world to world banning people they suspect to be macroers, but could actually be skillers. Alot more difficult than you first suggested.

Hey fakawi zezima could just be an addict ( a proper one with a toilet next to him or his computer in his kitchen ) :p

Runescape should offer him psychological help, since that's what he needs..

^ wrong. He needs the newest SCAR.

Fakawi is right, only skill you at the very maximum can get 100k exp per hour is smashing the temple gorillas at Ape Atoll with a 126lvl and dharoks Hp < 10%.

These ideas wouldn't stop SCAR but they could shut down the other level 3 macroers. But it could be annoying as hell typing in several different pins everytime you log into RS and want to cut trees.

LOLZ!!!

but if they do make a "3-D ish" random or obstacle, it would be hard to make something that will solve it.

Diabloizzle

2007-09-30 15:35:21

Better idea for them: get rid of all the trees, ores, and fish!!! Poof no more macroers for that!! ;)

or someone could just crash the rs server-although the suicide rate would jump dramaticly for about a month.

yeah i love those legit people saying things like "we need to scan the accounts for macroing programs"
but its very good to give them a smug sence of superiority :p
