Dafuq? Do you really have to wait 5 mins lol?

Well I'm not sure Jagex suddenly became massive trolls…

Prime example of Jagex acting like they give a a duck.

use the search bar, already a topic ;)

Guys… When you run Smart Manager it opens up the script with a little bit at the top… change that OR add Wait(300000 + Random 100000)); into the main loop..

so

Begin
SMART_Server := 1;
  SetupSRL;
  ObjDTM_Setup
  DeclarePlayers;
  Wait(300000 + Random 100000));
  LoginPlayer; 
  repeat
  scriptloopetchere;
  until(Not Loggedin)
End.

Or something :/ Don't panic

WTF 5 minutes.. Lucky I barely play/bot LOL.. I think either they did this one on purpose OR it's probably some crappy dungeoneering update failure.. Pretty sure it's on purpose though.

Wouldn't that wait 5 mins before even logging in?

You gotta wait 5 minutes before reloading the game, not logging in.

That would be a bit of a problem since the first time you log in you will have to wait that long also and I don't think they are complaining about Smart Manager.

Anyways that's annoying after client token failure I want to get in right away :(

yea but if you load up the game after smart manager reloads it. Wait 5 minutes then login it should work. (As it's a timer on jagex' end isn't it? Or does it kick you out and make you wait?

I'm pretty sure it's not login get rejected wait 5 mins login :S

Oh sorry didn't see the thread in RS has been updated lol. But mine has a pic so its better! JK hehe. But yeah this is pretty dumb, lots of legit no lifers gunna hate it.

It's a good thing that I never bot for more than 6 hours. I rarely get an opportunity to play for more than 6 hours (weekends with bad weather are about it).

I wonder how the legit players are taking this.

Some quick psuedo-real code.. Obviously incomplete but the concept and most of it is there.. Attempt to login normally.. keep trying of course but if the 5 minute thing is found, then wait it out.. try again.. until some condition.

Function Login: Boolean;
var
  T, Tries: Integer;
begin
  T:= 0; Tries:= 0;
  while (Not LoginPlayer) do
  begin
    If (FindText... '5 minute limit') then
    begin
      Inc(Tries);
      MarkTime(T);
      while (TimeFromMark(T) < 300) do   //Wait 5 minutes -___-
        wait(1000);
      T:= 0;                             //Reset the timer and start over the loop trying to login again.
      if (Tries > 2) then                //Tries 2 times.. aka 10 minute wait should be far more than enough.
        TerminateScript;
    end;
  end;
  Result:= LoggedIn;
end;

God. They are willing to screw over every player just to mess with the small amount of bots. They are taking the war on bots too far.

I really don't know why Jagex cares sooo much about bots and gold farmers. Who cares if people make irl money off your game? It's not as if they're taking it away from you…
As far as bots go, they should concentrate on a) Pleasing the legit playerbase and b) Getting rid of reflection bots.
Having a small amount of bots is part of what keeps the rs economy going, I mean look at what happened to some material prices after the bot nuke… If Jagex got rid of every bot, raw mats would sky-rocket and the rs economy would collapse into some sort of very weird day-by-day driven market.
Plus members bots are still paying Jagex their monthly fee…

Very true, The reason why the Bot Nuke occurred ( I may be wrong ) was because JaGeX lost the Golden Joystick Gaming Award simply because it had become a money source for goldfarmers, and was pretty much full of bots. Wasn't really a real game.

JaGeX got pissed, and decided to shit the reflection gold farming bots.

That's the reason, according to me, ( Again, I may be wrong )

I wish that it said something like, "Please go outside and get some fresh air for 5 minutes and then reload the game."

That would really make people rage.

Seriously though, why are people so upset about this? A five minute break every 6 hours is far from unreasonable, especially for legiters.

With the objective system it used to say this when you were maxed overall and all quests done.

Yesterday I got this after 7h of bot hehe.

:o This of go outside remembers me perfect world international haha, it said after 4h of playing something similar.
