Runescape

no i like it as well =p

I find the abilities and new styles make combat a bit more fun, instead of clicking the enemy once and waiting.

I think people just hate change in general. If jagex updates and area of a game some people don't use, they rage. if they update minor things they rage. If they update things that needed change aka the combat, they rage. But yeah, momentum is a nice skill to have if after a bit of using abilities is can sit back and just chill and pick up drops, some people I think have an issue with the fact that its not click and agro now.

Yeah. And the abilities-if used right- can make combat so much quicker, making for easier slayer tasks and such.

i got hacked and banned for spam shortly after because the hackers were adverting for a website...

I still play it pretty often. I take breaks for months or sometimes even years and then come back to see the changes. Lately I've played a lot because there is so much new content to explore.

That's how I've been.

There are now runescape tv ads :/ so i guess they must have some money still

report the botters and the magical fairy princesss and mods will do what they can to look into it, you cant permanently get rid of botting because those programs are very sophisticated and hard to stop, i should know i use fucking honorbuddy for wow and its almost undetectable

Unlike many people, ive actually tried that.
months later and the exact same bots are there.

i dont know what banning system runescape uses but just do it again or try to get a hold of someone and ask them what they are doing, if its another case then its someone banbreaking which is also possible but it takes more time

I know bot finding and nukign is a difficult process, but id rather a month of no updates and getting rid of half the botters, then the goddamn kalphite king

agreed, one thing though that i dont get is if someone accesses with bots from an ip several times over i propose an IP block so that IP cant get access to RS, its harsh and effective

The main problem is actually that jagex refuses to ban bots that have membership, because there are a lot less people that play legit that have membership

the funny thing is the reason for that is whats giving them money.

thats real shitty marketing, if they promised a high banrate regardless of being a member or not they could probably get back a lot of players and earn more money.

and jagex has quite a lot of money to do this too so they could go all blizzardstyle on your ass and 3-day-7day-1month-permban depending on how severe it is

Well, eventually theyre going to start losing money on runescape.
might not happen for a while, but it is going to happen.
