Get rid of the bots.

[Verdicts]

Honestly it is pathetic. 8 Years on, and still a problem. Trying to compete with 5-6 bots to mine a bit of coal, having them flood the market with automated actions so cheating is done by some people just to stay on a fair field. I can be the only player in a field of automation, report them, and they will be there the next day. It is so painfully obvious.
Make the anti-bot ingame events actually punish them, or detect them better, or actually respond to reports, or something. I sure as hell don't see why I should pay money to play a game where most of the content is owned by a handful of players using automation to get an unfair advantage.

I don't see a lvl3 bot not getting affected by random-event enemy spawns like lvl159 Evil Chicken, River Troll and Swarm, nor Axe/Pickaxe head forcedrops.

The latter even benefits real players by stealing their dropped heads and sell them at the GE or get a handle and then reattatch both if you have a lower level pickaxe/axe (got my first Rune Pickaxe this way back then in 2005).

Honestly you have to be baiting me. You can't really believe people can't write bots that can solve/escape random events in 2021... Or that it is beneficial for afk players to lose their axe heads... LOL

It is beneficial, considering that no program will make them continue their current farming as they lack the pickaxe/axe to do so (their code will get stuck or they'll just waste time getting a new one). Also, if Evil Chicken spawns, lvl3 bots will die just before they successfully run away due to being a boss with lvl200 magic projectile homming towards the bot, two-shotting them in the proccess.

Simply put, if they code to avoid it, make it unnavoidable regardless all efforts.

Just make hunting parties... teleblock em, kill em and cash their reaps. And scram fast if the big shots shows up.

Those events have always scaled on combat. Why do you think a level three would face a strong opponent? They wouldn't. What's the point of adding an event that completely destroys lower leveled players/skillers and they can't escape? It has always been scaled off of combat. Bots wouldn't be affected by the opponents and only the actual afk real players would be punished.

Bots are made faster then they are banned. I saw a youtube video talking about this issue where they have auto bot maker programs that makes alot of bots evry day. They make a profit as long as they operate more then 8 houers. So this is a endless battle
