So I have been trying to mine Rune in the wilderness, but I find a lot of times I log in, see no one, and then 3-5 seconds later, I see other players and I am under attack. Anyone know how I may prevent this?

Yeah, dont mine at the wilderness and go to the place in falador…just keep hoping worlds..

LOL

I'm not sure how new you are to Runescape, but it's the Wilderness.

You can't prevent people from attacking you, just pray your not in their level range.

Other players seem to be the last thing to load when you login, try logging out a little bit away from the rock, so you can see if there are other players

what I am saying is if my scripts could spot the other players, i could log out and prevent an attack. I know its the wilderness and that is what makes the availiability of rune more promising.

repeat
wait(500);
writeln('running');
writeln(CountDots('white'));
if CountDots('white')>0 then
  begin
    writeln('Exiting');
    exittolobby;
    writeln('Exited');
    OpenWorldScreen;

  end;
until 1=2

I had something similar to that for my recourse dungeon miner, it would world hop if there was too much competition, which was determined by the number of white dots on the MM

You could use the player counting part of the MSI woodcutting script where it counts if there is 30 people (by default) and changes world. You could set the number 1 and if it spots a white dot on radar it will auto log out? Just a thought,I'm not a programmer.

The short little script I have does just that, if it sees 1 white dot, it will exit the player to the lobby. The issue is as putonajonny confirmed that other players are the last thing to load. In this time, they have enough time to get a hit in, and you cannot log out and are under combat. The heavy nature of runite ore is that you run out of energy while trying to run away.

Well it was a thought,the only thing I'm thinking about now is having a faster pc which should make everything load faster :D but ofcourse you won't buy a new pc for that ;) It might be one of those things where you can't do anything to prevent it…

u mistook his question, he was wondering if there was a way to avoid the loading of rs characters being delayed for 4-5 seconds, sadly there is not. its been that way for quite a while. even during pvp and bh u use to have the issue, but they implemented a protection shield for a brief few seconds.

as for how to get around this, just hop in a distance away from the rune rocks.

save urself the hassle of being attacked and just run a distance of 10 squares for safety

best bet is to be away from the rune ore when you log out and in. have it so the rune ore is on the edge of the minimap so it would give it enough time for players to load if they are by the ore and run towards you.
