I have never used Powerbot but from what i have researched it appears to do the same thing simba does, albeit with a higher proportion of its users getting banned. Why is this?

Simba > Powerbot

Lots more people use powerbot than simba so it's easier to detect the same movements over and over again

Lots to explain, do a search and some research:

Read posts from all different sties so you don't get only biased answered.

Pretty Much ^^^^^^^^

And the devs IMO take little pride in their scripts and only do it for the $$

Easier for jagex to log/observe the same movements over and over again and manual ban due to such a large userbase

To be honest, It's a good client (f*kc da haters ;)) it has the capibiltys to make stuff that can't be made (without leet skills and time) in simba. It can be very stable. However simba CAN be alot quicker in some things (e.g. astrals). Simba can also do more things than powerbot from a scripting point of view, However scripting in powerbot is faster (in general) to scripting for simba (however they are two different langs, pascal being easier to most people).

Powerbot can be very good for botting things that are less stable or hard to script in simba. (E.g. Hunter, slayer or dung). Simba is very good aswell with 24/7 support unlike powerbot that goes down quite alot.
Simba is also a lot nicer on resources (without 3rd party programs).

Bottom line? A combination of both are the ultimate botting plan ;)
However, recently a lot of bans have come from powerbot. Which is leading me away tbh.

Presumably it is easier in simba, for example using random mouse movements to make scripts undetectable, or is it just powerbot scripters being lazy?

I dare u to do everything legit :)

To be honest powerboat has ok mouse movements but the fact that thousands of people use the same script makes it much more easy for jagex to filter out the bots, also with Simba it is easy for the user to adjust the script to their liking (noob with java = edit one thing and try to compile it and get 100 errors. Lol.) also most of their scripts are on SDN so they are not open source (not like the average power bot user would care not offense to them it just makes it more easy if you don't care about open source or learning)

Yeah most of pb is closed through the SDN, you will have to wait on them to update it if anything messes up

I have only used simba, and if its not broken why fix it (as in why use something else when this works)

Eh I know it's a couple day old thread but I had to post with my answer.

Simba vs. PB huh? Your answer it PB WILL get you banned. Go over to their forums and just read, people are getting banned on anything from a near maxed account with minimal botting hours total to brand new accounts that have only been botting for an hour.

I am not being biased, if you want to experiment take 2 different accounts to LRC and start botting, one using a PB LRC script, the other using a Simba LRC script. Tell me which one gets banned first. Last time I checked after Botwatch hit LRC specifically only one person using Simba was banned, and yet dozens from PB were banned.

Simba is the ONLY bot I would trust on my main.

I was thinking about using PB for dung but I decided no luckily because of EoC all the bots broke anyway, best decision for my account because a month later baaam all these bans start to happen

Simba>pb, jagex banning atm pb users especially maxed players like me, im pretty sure jagex can see if u log in with client/browser/botclient and they can track who uses pb client.

no, they load the client onto the pb interface, means it's just like login in with a different broweser, like ie and firefox.

Also SMART is a different client but how many simba bans do you ever get?

No.. powerbot does not have a browser inside of it.. it's a separate client..

I think he's implying that powerbot simulates being another browser in how they load runescape. Not just that it is capable of browsing the internet. I could be wrong, though - he might be saying exactly that.

He thinks powerbot is like one of those windows vb appications that you can make you own browser in.

RSBot is the client and Powerbot is the community that released it and the community that creates the script but mostly for $$$/£££

Powerbot is a modified version of the runescape client smart is a applet that simply loads the offical runescape client.
