WBM alert,

From: So Oblivious
I'm glad you are following the Rules by not botting - well done. It also takes a lot of courage to inform someone of a friend breaking the rules - well done for that as well!

First of all, if you suspect that your friend is using botting software, then I recommend that you don't accept any files sent over Skype (or any other online method). Botting software has known to track peoples' account details and steal them. Software your friend has may connect to you via Skype - you never know what this botting software is capable of.

Also for your own account's security I highly recommend that you scan your computer for viruses and malware - especially if you have been transferring files too and from your friend's computer/device.

As mentioned above, by using the Report Abuse service in-game (via the button at the bottom panel in-game or by right-clicking his name), you can notify Jagex of their actions.

If the player is indeed botting - action WILL be taken against them - sooner or later. Eventually Jagex will catch up to their actions and punishment WILL be taken. Jagex have systems in place which can pick up any bot activity - Jagex take this offence EXTREMELY seriously.

If he keeps on doing it, it's just a matter of time.


I can't spend more then 5 minutes on this community… why would you ever report a friend for botting does anyone else feel this way about Runescape forums? It's like everyones trying to become a forum moderator.

Pathetic. Like seriously, why not just mind your own business. Probably not even old enough to play the game anyways.

This is why I have only a few rs friends (20ish). I know who I can trust and who will stab you in the back before you blink. Then again im a lil paranoid sometimes.

Back Stabbing? Why the… Why would anyone care if you botted? I'd encourage it. While you bot, go do Insanity or run. It's more healthy.

Lol. There is a reason i have only 3 friends on my friends list. They are my friends IRL, ones who i trust, ones that don't care if I bot or not and i plan on keeping it that way. XD

All my IRL friends bot. I always turn Private, Clan, Public off when I bot.

Doesn't everyone? I thought it was blatantly obvious that every botter out there should do that.

If my friend found out I was botting, he wouldn't mind. I don't know why this person would post it on the forums. If I were him, I would discuss the issue with the friend.

That's pretty lame.. the only friend that plays rs that i know he botted too..

I guess everyone is trying to become the next 'pmod' or 'fmod'

Im New Sry

Wow, why even care. :D

I told few of my friends I was botting and they started doing so too. I'm glad we don't have people like "BOND" between us. :D

Those are the *drumroll* leeches!
But honestly, I've been botting for year and no one in my clan that I have been part of for 9 months and am a lieutenant in knows any better.
