Dung getting risky

So apparently Jagex is going after Dg botters. I was reading the IDung thread at Powerbot and apparently some of them have gotten banned. I have no idea why Jagex is devoting so much time to pick out dungeon botters when every brutal green dragon world is packed to the brim with obvious bots. I was planning on buying IDung for a couple more chaotics but I don't think I will anymore :(

Is it because dungeoneering is a big business? Look at it this way:

1. 85 dung for frost dragons and huge profits.
2. High lvl dung is great for all those floor sellers.
A side from that, gp is sold when a lot is made.

I get what your saying but this seems so… not worth it. You ban a couple of guys botting dungeoneering but you can't go after the goldfarmers with the names like "vddsafg" at Brutals? I guess I'm just bitter because I can't bot Dg now.

Yeah I was planning on getting IDung but after hearing about the large amounts of bans kinda iffy about it now

I also been hearing a lot of people getting banned from using IDung. Good thing I am in the high 80's and could legit it all the way. I also heard that IDung was reseting your floor progress before time. Seems like IDung is broken to me.

I was thinking about buying idung but nah not after the double xp incidents/bans… i will probably just buy my floors now…

Botting dung takes the fun out of it, personally I love doing dung myself. I'm a puzzle guy so I like to test myself.

Dung is one of the few fun things in F2P. Dung is our PvM, really.

It's getting nerfed though… if you kill a monster thats 100 levels lower than you (ie Level 21 spider v Level 148 Ibotdung = no xp from kill) you don't get xp. Although it is decent xp on floors like 30+ where the monsters are your level.
The tokens are a nice reward for things like gravite and the tome of frost because they all look badass. The smelting scroll is decent as well. The bones necklace is alright for prayer but kind of sucks.

The only time I used idung was when the full version was free. Then I saw the price of it when went premium.

Oh wow.. Hope everyone here manages to avoid the bans!

Interesting that their ramping it up though.

one of the reasons its not a good idea to bot dungoneering right now is because people have been throwing gnomeballs to bots that are at dg.

iDung cant get rid of the gnomeball = cant access a floor = reports going through to jmods = banned

But isn't the bot spend most of the time in the dung alone? How can it been disturbed by gnomeballs?

Does this gnomeball still work? Brb, I'm going to try this, record it, and then upload it.

Yep, these same guys got 99 agility or 99 hunter legit. I'm pretty sure they can sit and wait for hours on end for a bot to appear.

But seriously, Jagex said their "botwatch" is tracking the Dg bots. If they are truly being caught by a bunch of no-lifers who are gnomeballing, then I have lost all faith in any anti-bot measures Jagex rolls out.

If you consider how many people bot Dung, one or two probably pop up every minute. Could actually be kinda entertaining to do this :f:

Yep, those dragon resource dung bots have to come from somewhere I guess.

Where the bloody hell is AshamanDung then?!?!?

Jks ;)

Chance of ban is always higher when your using a bot that so many others are using, especially when the coders are doing it for money and most of the time Not taking pride in what they produce

We need one of the more experienced SRL members like zmon to start an Include for Dung that we can all contribute towards, then it may happen someday,

Not a great idea right now as all the graphics updates will be comming

Oh god, Good think no dungeoneering works right now. If this botwatch system is working, then they should take care of green and blue dragon bots.

Their systems just as bad as ever, there just paying an employee to sit and manually look at people all day and ban bots, Jagex are notorious smoke blowers

If they payed me to sit and ban botters manually, I would go for those dragon bots first.

Well they want threads like this to be created on bot forums, and try and lie to the normal players that they are on top of the botting problem, they just want it to be noticed, and banning gold farmers is not going to do that ;)

Not to get off-topic on my own thread :) but how much would leeching 85-99 dung cost? And 85-104 dung cost too?

Im not sure but expect to pay 1M+ per floor. maybe something like 2M-3M.

Likeeee 225-250mil for 85-99 if each floor is 1.5mil (that's probably the average). Then probably like 150mil for 99-104.
