Point of marco army?

I was just wondering, what is the point of a marco (Bot) army? Because can't you just level one character at a time? so if you can only level one, it would seem like it would take longer for each character to gain levels more quickly.

yeah, im probably totally off, but answers would be appreciated :)

thanks

Multiplayer is necessary because your players will 'fall out of the loop' a lot because of randoms. So more players = longer run time.

You also need multilpayer. because of not being banned. when you swith players every 30mins. the change of getting banned is smaller. and how longer you're online how more randoms you get etc…
just use multiplayer.

The general idea is that if something goes wrong with Player 1 (gets lost, can't find the mine, dies, gets unsolvable random, etc.), it can log out and Player 2 can take it's place. Therefore, if you have, say, 5 players, the script can run 5 times as long.

The more players the more inactivity each gets during the running of a script. That means player 1 won't be on 24 hours a day, but with say 10 accounts, will play about 2.4 hours in one day, a regular number for a runescape player.

I didn't get it at first either until I did it .. and it makes perfect sense for all the reasons already stated .. with one character I could only get about an hour or so at a time without getting stuck in a random: with 11 of them going for 15 minutes each in a rotation I get, for example, 37+ hours worth of autoing, which is way more than just an hour apiece :)

can you do that with 1 player? I don't think so. an army is just handy, and while your sleeping jou just can trust on the next player when an other one gets lost.
