Basically, bots are AFK players that automatically move and do boring chores. Bots cannot interact. It is like sleepwalking, and being able to execute accurate actions.

How does botting kill a game? A player cannot interact or talk with a bot, which kills one of the essential factors of an online game – community interaction.

Overall, bots do not just simply beat the purpose of online interaction, but affect the economy, which will later affect the gameplay, making it an unfair advantage over other players, especially for new players who do not even know what is happening.

Threat of Bots: Reason for Botting

Runescape is subscription based MMORPG. Yes, a player pays money in order to get the maximum value of what they have paid for.

Bots are like virus. They can spread with ease. When a player started to bot, there will be rumors that botting is possible in runescape, which other players will start researching. Of course, for the sake of profit, the person who made the botting software will sell it to the community.  Thereon, the botting software goes through like water in the community’s veins.

Threat of Bots: Unfair

It is unfair because there are players spending a lot time, resorting into sleepless night just to get what they need, and make their subscription efficient. On the other side, there are players who sleep early in the night, while getting what they need and making their subscription efficient.

When the players who work hard noticed that it is possible to make their character move without even pressing a key in the keyboard, it would make them feel that their effort is just garbage because other people are getting their stuff through just horsing around. Thereon, the players who used to work hard will find their own botting program and bot their characters.

Threat of Bots: Kill the Economy

Bots are efficient. They do not need to take a break after a long time of grinding, killing the same mob. Therefore, they get to farm more than a normal person, which will later a valuable item will become a normal item, as it floods in the market. Thereon, OSRS gold will flood the server

 

Discuss what you think about bots with osrs gold hunters in the community of rs 07 gold hunters, and people who farm runescape gold.
