Can we just get a petition going to Jagex already... give sir pugger the power the j mods had on the bot busting they did a while ago.. Pugs putting in the work bringing it to light and nothing gets done 🤷♂️
I think the bots would be fishing on pvp worlds because despite seeing bots is a casual sight (at least in free to play I guess), you still see them. The harder they are to find, the longer they stay up. It doesn't hide them from the bot detection system but if players don't see that specific bot farm, they don't talk about it either, let alone report them. And I'm saying this only supposing bots being reported by players is hardly the most effective method to exterminate them.
I honestly gave a bit up on osrs..... everywhere i go in the game i am reminded of “oh look at all these bots” no one interacts anymore. Skilling spots are basically ran by bots. Rip runescape the way i once knew it.

@Old Toby don't have the time for a game which requires so much commitment to progress. I feel like rs would be a game you need to play for years to get anywhere decent
i think 1 of my f2p pures was a victim of the castle wars bot. i literally never went to castle wars on that account and i didnt use the account at all for months and when i logged in i wondered why i was at castle wars, i had no gp on the account but i thought maybe i put it all back on my main as i never used the account. Now it makes sense lol.
I have a garg alt, some of the dudes I run into are bots. The legit alts typically don't camp guthans, it is just not efficient even if you afk hard as fuck.
500k/hour x 100 bots = 50m per hour. 50m x 8=400m in 8 hours.. thats just making 500k an hour... sell that for real money these bot farms can make 500+ us dollars per day without doing anything other than setting up the bots.
@@Bosznx 100 bots = 5 mil per bot (bonds) 100 bots also crashes the price of the fungi, you need to buy the accounts themselves, and if it's that heavily botted you'll get mabye an hour before it gets banned.
What sucks is that Jagex banned 3 of my accounts for "macroing" when I never did such a thing. .-. It sucks 'cause all I enjoy doing is fishing and mining. And I get banned for doing that. But these actual bots get to run around freely with nothing happening to them.
That happened to an account i had. i recently disputed the claim and they gave me it back only to find out it had been botting and collected over 8000 blue dragon hides and dragon bones. Jagex claims that they "know for sure" or else they wouldn't ban, but i am calling BS on that.
I miss this game so much, I miss this game when botting was so underground you had to be atleast 18 to understand how to do it. I miss this game having a thriving economy to actually justify pursuing your character progression the way you want to whether that be PvM, or PvP, or flat out skilling. I miss this game and all it's glory, it was a good one runescape.
I can confirm that the castle wars one is hacked accounts, one of my low level alts I haven't played on in years logged in while I was playing, immediately logged back out, I went on to check it, I was in castle wars and cleaned, fortunately there was only like 50-200k on the account
@@justintaylor6665 if you go on twitch osrs you will see tons of streams with a double xp login, when you click takes you to normal looking login page until it asks for your bank pin, but some people still type that.
@@danh9093 idk I never had auth and had a separate email to login to my account and lost 500mil. Haven't played since. Didn't even lose password. IMO jagex had a security breach.
thing about the mort myre money making guide, it accounts for having the hard diary done for 2x fungus, so unless the bot has done that, they get half rate.
A TH-camr (I forget his name): recently made a video on using retribution to kill Corp, reminded me of that suspicious bot farm going into Corp with high prayer?
there's a gold farmer that ive been tracking at sacred eels for months he was like 50m fish at christmas time and now hes 100m fish and 110m cooking ..... name is skywath fish
There is now a small growing operation of Mort Myre Fungus farming bots starting to pop up. There is an area where 4-5 logs can be hit at once with the blessing from blessed silver sickle. Accounts are varying in level with most of them being low combat ~20-30 defense and the requirements are the quest line up thru Nature’s Spirit completed. These accounts are using house teleports to exit and enter a host house and Kharyll Teleport from host’s nexus portal to bank at Canifis followed by running south to the spot where the fungus collecting occours. Each trip is about 2min long including collection time and with the current going prices of the fungus these accounts are making upwards of 650k/hr with minimal requirements needed.
You can only make 1m gp doing fungi with the Morty hard diaries done, and a house with a pool to restore prayer quickly, and fairy ring access. These bots are probably only pulling in 600k an hour.
@SirPugger You're on to something about the free to play castle wars bot farm. My GF got hacked this past week and when she logged in she was in castle wars and all of her items and cash had been stolen. For a week or two prior to her being hacked she would log in to her account being in castle wars when she for a fact logged out with me at the GE on multiple occasions. I thought it was some sort of bug so I looked into it on Reddit and found that other people had experienced the same exact thing. I hope you are able to bring attention to this and Jagex does something about this, losing your bank to hackers and bots is a real quick way to lose player base. PSA to accounts that may experience being re-logged somewhere they know they were not the last time they played, get the two-step authentication that Jagex offers and make sure you have a bank PIN. My GF did not and if it wasnt for me having money to spare for her she would have quit. FIX YOUR GAME JAGEX!!!
You can find old reddit posts talking about players finding their characters in castle wars. It's pretty clear that they check whether or not to clear the bank there.
The botting client he is showing is runemate. It use to be the best and only botting client for RS3 until Jagex got rid of RS3 Java. It was undetectable. RS3 on the low and needs a lot of attention in botting realm. It's less bot but they make a lot. 10 bot would make you consistent income
3:18 there is an account cracker that I found on the web that does exactly this. What it does is checks a combo list of millions of accounts the user feeds in to the program, then after it completes the list, it will log in to every account individually and view their bank. Once it sees what is in it, it logs out until all accounts are checked. Then it has the main log in and logs in to every account individually again and trades everything over.
Roleplay Rogue it mainly takes database leaks from all over the internet and tries those combos. It could be from a website you made an account on over 10 years ago. If you still use the same email and password, boom. You’re hacked.
@@GingieMC that's why it's good to switch up your password. I can't remember what the site was called but there was one that let you know if your password was ever discovered in any leaks.
About a year or so ago there used to be cadava and red berry collecting bots south of Varrock in F2P. They’d log in about 2 seconds before the berry respawns, grabs it, World hops
I was a victim of 3:30 I disabled my authenticator for literally 15 minutes and they took me for 20ish mil. Who knows how long they had my info? What are you so afraid of pugger?
Been finding myself addicted to these vids. The early 2000s nostalgia is real. But seeing the shit that happens in the game now makes me think if I even load the website I might have a scammer trying to break my kneecaps over discord
Fun fact about the Zulrah Scale fishing location. I AFK two accounts there whenever I’m playing PS4 or another account and had around 1m in scales. The scales dropped to like 130gp each. Then they jumped to 256ea and I sold them. I get called a bot all the time when I’m there 😂
There is also another bot farm in the revenant caves, where the dragons are (once entered by the south entrance, go east). They all are 80-90s with d hide and snakeskin bandana with generic random letter names. They all have cannons with not more than 100-200 cannonballs. They will automatically tele when you are at like 15 square from them, even if you barely see them.
RuneScape doesn’t care if they did care they would of gotten all the bots removed they care about $ why so many j mods left cuz they knew the game isn’t what it use to be and it u remove all the bots imagine the player numbers it would drop so much ^.^
and the economy would crash items would inflate and skillers would be pissed cause it would be so much more expensive to GE stand and do skills . It would be too easy for merchers to inflate items if bots didnt bring new items into the game from pvming monsters most people dont bother with
@@kingcz-ru6ce which is another reason i will never understand people who don't like the GE and want the old trading system. Like why make a slow game literally go to a stand still ....... Sounds like aids in game form to me.
@@kingcz-ru6ce You're forgetting that resource gathering would become a viable money making method again due to the bots being gone. Players who just want to have some afk fun will be able to make bank with raw resource gathering. The economy would change very little, its just that actual players would get money instead of botters.
@@kingcz-ru6ce In my opinion the old days before GE were amazing, spending hours talking and networking and making new friends, creating groups, joining merchant chats to find what you wanted. While yeah it was annoying if you're trying to level fast; It made the community feel whole. Imo.
In one of your old vids you said bots were tping to Corp and entering a private instance. They are being used to kill corp with retribution. If someone agros Corp and exists the room it holds his agro. Then the bots run under him getting stomped on. This then damages him, with no damage reduction, meaning is someone had 25 bots with 60 prayer each they could damage him by 15 per account. This theoretically means if a bot with 10 hp it would die in one hit. If they tp twice every min thats 30 damage each. Times that by 25 its 750 damage per minute. A 2.5 min kill on Corp. If you used more accounts (100 maybe) with higher prayer you could nuke Corp down making kills every minute. With each kill being worth around 478K on average its a 27Mil profit per hour. Thats 648Mil per day. Members for 100 bots is 500Mil. The farm pays for itself in under 20 hours. Jagex needs to address this now. Hope thats helps.
I had completely forgot about this but if you world hop on RS3 and kill a bot, there’s a random chance they will drop exactly 75k gp on the dot. And what doesn’t make any sense these bots don’t carry anything on them aside from cursed energy. And these bots are smart they use single messages and pretend to be a person, then run to a designated tp area and wait there and don’t move. It happens a lot especially on w84.
I'm doing a series soon where I get out of f2p with bonds on an ironman account. F2p worlds are absolutely flooded with bots and it's honestly astounding how blatant and simple they are. It honestly feels like Jagex doesnt want to ban them because they'll just make new free accounts and do it more. I understand, but it's still horrifying to know that on any server with 400 players, 200+ of them are probably bots.
I can speak for your castle wars theory. I hadn't played my account in years. I logged in at castle wars, with 1 untradeable members item and emptied. In other RS groups I'm in apparently I'm not the only one
The FTP castle wars thing is hacked accounts trading gold. The reason they use CW is because dormant accounts are often placed in CW upon returning. Also every account has a free tele to CW. It is an ease of access location. Source: A mate used to hijack hundreds of dormant accounts every day in the same spot.
Can you hit up Zalcano? Almost Everybody that says “full” usually logs out or leaves when I ask them “what’s the problem you trying to gold farm for rwt?” It’s actually very annoying since regular drops really and truthfully have minimal difference on larger or smaller groups on average it’s like a 10k difference. The only time in my opinion smaller groups are worth it is if your unique hunting and I ask them that and they never respond except a few which mainly are ironmen. I know the statistics behind the groups of Zalcano for the party size but I’ve been doing Zalcano for a while now for a video I want to post and me personally will be calling out things that can be fixed about the boss in the video but the people there at Zalcano definitely need to be checked and I have no way of proving if anyone is really good farming or not but it’s really suspicious when you try to ask them if they are and they hop or log out and by the way they are usually less than 100 combat.
its crazy how much bots have gotten out of hand, the sad part is its never going to really stop until people stop buying gold. people wouldn't invest time into botting if there wasn't a demand.
How do you know all these pro bot programmers, anyway? I'm not sure what your goal here is other than TH-cam views, because you talk extensively about these bot farms but you refuse to talk about who runs them, almost as if you actually don't want them to get caught. And why does that matter? Why does their privacy deserve to be respected, considering what they are doing? You use undercover aliases when contacting these people anyway, right?
You have no experience talking to people that would spend their entire day researching the people that come after them, and then try to do something extremely malicious to them with the information they found. Read back about what people did to other gilded altar hosts just for "stealing their players". Most of the time I'd imagine Pugger joins discords that have active botmakers and gets in touch with them, and the only reason he gets to speak with them is because they know they'll remain anonymous. It's not like anything will happen to the person Pugger exposes, it's literally a discord username. That's nothing to go off of, because Discord's pretty secure. It isn't like these botmakers are getting in touch and giving Pugger their name, email, and phone number for future contact. Also, with bot farms being exposed, players go and interrupt the farms and bot makers either have to shut down or move to something else. I figure that's the reason botmakers like the cowhide bot farm is settling for less, because they're less likely to be targeted. And yeah, views are apart of TH-cam. Congratulations, great analysis. Here's a medal.
destroyed? its always been the same, right from the beginning. theres several reasons why bots are not nuked. the obvious one is IRL $$$ and the osrs economy would suffer, as nobody wants to spend all the time to farm those same supplies to sell. the efficiency mindset of the community now has destroyed the game way more than bots though
@@ShinyJacko so... you would have to play the game and gather the supplies yourself or pay what they are actually worth? why do you think they released iron man? the game is shit these days lol. can buy a max cape for $100.
10+ free to play bots per world camping the gold spawns in dwarven mine is the most obscure. They are programmed to run anywhere in the cavee, and bank with full inventory, but if no one drops them ore, they could be sitting on mounds of cash. You can also make a train of iron ore and some bots will suicide to scorpions because they dont know how to return back to the gold spawns if lured too far. Might make some intresting content
Jagex needs to hire a couple people full time to just track down bots.. It's really not that difficult to spot bots. With mod powers it would be unbelievably easy.
@@Culturedtuna1 I think you meant to say Spanish?(Venezuela's language) Fortunately translator apps are widely available for every common language. I don't know every tool mods have at their disposal but I'm sure they have ways to track the players play time, the time they generally play, what they're doing with their money/time and trade history. There's so many ways you could determine if an account is a bot or a legitimate one. Plus even if an account is legitimate they may still be breaking game rules such as staking for real world trading etc.

I havnt played in like 2 years, i log into my pure the otherday on my phone while on data to see how it was, then logged out, a week later decided to log in on my pc, and an hour before someone had accessed it, empied my bank and left me in CW, probably this fucking guy. I assume the mobile app is somehow unsafe, anyone else had this?
George Smash put authenticator on and keep a pin bud it notifies you if anyone tries to get into your accounts and prevents them from accessing your bank for at least 7 days
Yeah I’m not certain on which are bots / which aren’t, but I’ve heard about and found gargoyle bot scripts that specifically call for guthans, and there are lots of accounts like yours- wish I could be certain about specific accounts tho!
I've noticed some unusual activity on f2p worlds around the falador dwarf mine. A lot of 'bots' going from Edgevile to the mine and then wondering around the shop and anvil area, some of them pick up the 1gp on the floor.
Nice videos man. I’ve been skulltricking for months between the lava maze teleport and revenant cave. During this period I’ve seen loads of different rev bots. Different pathings/reactions when getting attacked. At the moment there’s a big farm with 60-80s all named like RedPoster/SillySnail/KiloSnake (They all have two random words starting with capitals). Another active farm are mostly 80s. They all got ancient d hide boots. I been doing this for a long time, I made two in depth skulltrick videos about that spot on my channel.
I'm running a bot farm right now, it harvests the seed of virgins in erp. People pay my bots and through advanced algorithms generates some text to reply to what they have to say using key words next to others to make a cohesive experience, my bots charge 5mil for sucky sucky time and so far has made me over 20bil.
On zeah, theres a bot farm of 48-51 combat levels pick pocketing the master farmer near the fruit stalls. All have rouges and a games necklace and 80-83 thieving currently

@@trent2113 ....right? Half of 1m is 500k. Wyverns are 400k. I know your name contains farquad, but it was his height that was small, not his brain.
@@tygonmaster Mate I botted this on 40 accounts before pugger dropped a vid
I wonder who would know though?
@@Bosznx 100 bots = 5 mil per bot (bonds) 100 bots also crashes the price of the fungi, you need to buy the accounts themselves, and if it's that heavily botted you'll get mabye an hour before it gets banned.
What sucks is that Jagex banned 3 of my accounts for "macroing" when I never did such a thing. .-.
It sucks 'cause all I enjoy doing is fishing and mining. And I get banned for doing that.
But these actual bots get to run around freely with nothing happening to them.
Same thing happened to me this year, and their support system is dog shit.
That happened to an account i had. i recently disputed the claim and they gave me it back only to find out it had been botting and collected over 8000 blue dragon hides and dragon bones. Jagex claims that they "know for sure" or else they wouldn't ban, but i am calling BS on that.
@@arick6601 still not a single word from them re my account
damn thats rough. it sucks that people that actually play the game and put the time in leveling are the ones being punished.
I miss this game so much, I miss this game when botting was so underground you had to be atleast 18 to understand how to do it. I miss this game having a thriving economy to actually justify pursuing your character progression the way you want to whether that be PvM, or PvP, or flat out skilling.
I miss this game and all it's glory, it was a good one runescape.

I can confirm that the castle wars one is hacked accounts, one of my low level alts I haven't played on in years logged in while I was playing, immediately logged back out, I went on to check it, I was in castle wars and cleaned, fortunately there was only like 50-200k on the account
Kakreth TMD how are they getting all these passwords?

Just got hacked, 10m ish, everything cleaned, but a duelingring. So yeah, prob.
@@justintaylor6665 if you go on twitch osrs you will see tons of streams with a double xp login, when you click takes you to normal looking login page until it asks for your bank pin, but some people still type that.

Haven't played since. Didn't even lose password.
IMO jagex had a security breach.
thing about the mort myre money making guide, it accounts for having the hard diary done for 2x fungus, so unless the bot has done that, they get half rate.
1:19 jagex picking and hanging up left me dead 💀
There's a bot farm in the Hosidius area in Zeah. Just east of the city square pick pocketing a master farmer. All with pretty much the same stats.
A TH-camr (I forget his name):
recently made a video on using retribution to kill Corp, reminded me of that suspicious bot farm going into Corp with high prayer?
Ml gudi a former jmod
My f2p account was recently hacked. When i logged in i was at CW with everything gone.
Damn, so that’s why my account was at Castle Wars with no money left
Did that really happend
the advanced litter pick up bots cleaning up runescape when no one else wants to
A few GP at a time adds up. Especially if it's a collection of bots.
Bots have been buying all the toilet papers near my neighborhood. I need jagex to fix this ASAP!
there's a gold farmer that ive been tracking at sacred eels for months he was like 50m fish at christmas time and now hes 100m fish and 110m cooking ..... name is skywath fish
Every night there's a swarm of bots making bowstrings from flax in Lumby castle
There is now a small growing operation of Mort Myre Fungus farming bots starting to pop up. There is an area where 4-5 logs can be hit at once with the blessing from blessed silver sickle. Accounts are varying in level with most of them being low combat ~20-30 defense and the requirements are the quest line up thru Nature’s Spirit completed. These accounts are using house teleports to exit and enter a host house and Kharyll Teleport from host’s nexus portal to bank at Canifis followed by running south to the spot where the fungus collecting occours. Each trip is about 2min long including collection time and with the current going prices of the fungus these accounts are making upwards of 650k/hr with minimal requirements needed.
You can only make 1m gp doing fungi with the Morty hard diaries done, and a house with a pool to restore prayer quickly, and fairy ring access. These bots are probably only pulling in 600k an hour.
Lol, "only" 600k per hour, is a shitload when the bots can be run 24/7.
whats up fellas ive been on that wc grind how bout you guys
Vorkath
Idk man I’m still going to work so I can’t stay home and play xD but I’m 1M off 99 attack
@SirPugger You're on to something about the free to play castle wars bot farm. My GF got hacked this past week and when she logged in she was in castle wars and all of her items and cash had been stolen. For a week or two prior to her being hacked she would log in to her account being in castle wars when she for a fact logged out with me at the GE on multiple occasions.
I thought it was some sort of bug so I looked into it on Reddit and found that other people had experienced the same exact thing. I hope you are able to bring attention to this and Jagex does something about this, losing your bank to hackers and bots is a real quick way to lose player base.
PSA to accounts that may experience being re-logged somewhere they know they were not the last time they played, get the two-step authentication that Jagex offers and make sure you have a bank PIN. My GF did not and if it wasnt for me having money to spare for her she would have quit. FIX YOUR GAME JAGEX!!!
The castle wars hackers got me. I have no idea how they got on my account. 150M down the drain
I’d love to get a poster with all the disposable income I have from all the jobs I didn’t lose recently ... >:(
lol. gottem.
Can we come together and a PVP not busting cc?
It sounds like fun.

You can find old reddit posts talking about players finding their characters in castle wars. It's pretty clear that they check whether or not to clear the bank there.
The botting client he is showing is runemate. It use to be the best and only botting client for RS3 until Jagex got rid of RS3 Java. It was undetectable. RS3 on the low and needs a lot of attention in botting realm. It's less bot but they make a lot. 10 bot would make you consistent income
The worst bots are the ones THAT BUY OUT TOILET PAPER I HAVENT TAKEN A SHAT FOR 2 WEEKS CUZ I DONT HAVE TOILET PAPER
oh my god tell me about it like it cant make that much gp per hour to just constantly buy all that toilet paper
@@dialga236 lmaoo
3:18 there is an account cracker that I found on the web that does exactly this. What it does is checks a combo list of millions of accounts the user feeds in to the program, then after it completes the list, it will log in to every account individually and view their bank. Once it sees what is in it, it logs out until all accounts are checked. Then it has the main log in and logs in to every account individually again and trades everything over.
How does it figure out the password?
Roleplay Rogue it mainly takes database leaks from all over the internet and tries those combos. It could be from a website you made an account on over 10 years ago. If you still use the same email and password, boom. You’re hacked.
@@GingieMC that's why it's good to switch up your password.
I can't remember what the site was called but there was one that let you know if your password was ever discovered in any leaks.
About a year or so ago there used to be cadava and red berry collecting bots south of Varrock in F2P. They’d log in about 2 seconds before the berry respawns, grabs it, World hops

Did anyone notice this? LOL
I was a victim of 3:30
I disabled my authenticator for literally 15 minutes and they took me for 20ish mil.
Who knows how long they had my info?
What are you so afraid of pugger?
I did same thing bc was changing my phone. 10min without autenticator and i lost 150mil...
Don't do stupid things then like visit random sites or click random links and regularly change your pass. Common sense.
@@8BitGamer4life It's all my fault for lacking common sense! Good one, nice contribution!
@@Napusmauno That's exactly why I had to disable too. Sorry to hear that man.
Been finding myself addicted to these vids. The early 2000s nostalgia is real.
But seeing the shit that happens in the game now makes me think if I even load the website I might have a scammer trying to break my kneecaps over discord
8:53 Ahhhh yes, the nostalgic high detail graphics from 10 years ago ;)
Fun fact about the Zulrah Scale fishing location. I AFK two accounts there whenever I’m playing PS4 or another account and had around 1m in scales. The scales dropped to like 130gp each. Then they jumped to 256ea and I sold them. I get called a bot all the time when I’m there 😂
yup, I afk at the karambwan and get called a bot often
What if jagex has there own bots in the game to keep resources in the game flowing like cow hides hehehe
I could see it
pretty sure they do
That's overly complicated when they can just add/remove items into the game at will.
@@HeyImLucious its not overly complicated. it makes their jobs easier and keeps players interested in playing the game.
There is also another bot farm in the revenant caves, where the dragons are (once entered by the south entrance, go east). They all are 80-90s with d hide and snakeskin bandana with generic random letter names. They all have cannons with not more than 100-200 cannonballs. They will automatically tele when you are at like 15 square from them, even if you barely see them.
Earlier I was chopping yew trees by the GE and I noticed there were always 2-3 level 13 bots on every f2p world.
RuneScape doesn’t care if they did care they would of gotten all the bots removed they care about $ why so many j mods left cuz they knew the game isn’t what it use to be and it u remove all the bots imagine the player numbers it would drop so much ^.^
and the economy would crash items would inflate and skillers would be pissed cause it would be so much more expensive to GE stand and do skills . It would be too easy for merchers to inflate items if bots didnt bring new items into the game from pvming monsters most people dont bother with
@@kingcz-ru6ce which is another reason i will never understand people who don't like the GE and want the old trading system. Like why make a slow game literally go to a stand still ....... Sounds like aids in game form to me.
@@kingcz-ru6ce You're forgetting that resource gathering would become a viable money making method again due to the bots being gone. Players who just want to have some afk fun will be able to make bank with raw resource gathering. The economy would change very little, its just that actual players would get money instead of botters.
@@kingcz-ru6ce In my opinion the old days before GE were amazing, spending hours talking and networking and making new friends, creating groups, joining merchant chats to find what you wanted. While yeah it was annoying if you're trying to level fast; It made the community feel whole. Imo.
The papa Yoda one I've saw a few time and even talked shit to the dude, he must've not been botting at the time because he replied back multiple times
T0XIX ☣️ same here, the guys a nobhead
Some people play while they are home AND bot while they are away, so can definitely be both.
Plot twist, you're papa Yoda and are saying that cuz u actually bot lol
@@rcc475 I WISH i had that much money tbh😂😂 I got cleaned at the sand casino yesterday and have been rebuilding
In one of your old vids you said bots were tping to Corp and entering a private instance. They are being used to kill corp with retribution. If someone agros Corp and exists the room it holds his agro. Then the bots run under him getting stomped on. This then damages him, with no damage reduction, meaning is someone had 25 bots with 60 prayer each they could damage him by 15 per account. This theoretically means if a bot with 10 hp it would die in one hit. If they tp twice every min thats 30 damage each. Times that by 25 its 750 damage per minute. A 2.5 min kill on Corp. If you used more accounts (100 maybe) with higher prayer you could nuke Corp down making kills every minute. With each kill being worth around 478K on average its a 27Mil profit per hour. Thats 648Mil per day. Members for 100 bots is 500Mil. The farm pays for itself in under 20 hours. Jagex needs to address this now. Hope thats helps.
I had completely forgot about this but if you world hop on RS3 and kill a bot, there’s a random chance they will drop exactly 75k gp on the dot. And what doesn’t make any sense these bots don’t carry anything on them aside from cursed energy. And these bots are smart they use single messages and pretend to be a person, then run to a designated tp area and wait there and don’t move. It happens a lot especially on w84.
I think the title here is getting uncomfortably close to glorifying botting
I'm doing a series soon where I get out of f2p with bonds on an ironman account. F2p worlds are absolutely flooded with bots and it's honestly astounding how blatant and simple they are. It honestly feels like Jagex doesnt want to ban them because they'll just make new free accounts and do it more. I understand, but it's still horrifying to know that on any server with 400 players, 200+ of them are probably bots.
I can speak for your castle wars theory. I hadn't played my account in years. I logged in at castle wars, with 1 untradeable members item and emptied.
In other RS groups I'm in apparently I'm not the only one
Same, but the hackers didn't seem to have touched my stuff since it was a wee lvl 3 with nothing eventworth stealing in the first place.
The FTP castle wars thing is hacked accounts trading gold. The reason they use CW is because dormant accounts are often placed in CW upon returning. Also every account has a free tele to CW. It is an ease of access location. Source: A mate used to hijack hundreds of dormant accounts every day in the same spot.
Can you hit up Zalcano? Almost Everybody that says “full” usually logs out or leaves when I ask them “what’s the problem you trying to gold farm for rwt?” It’s actually very annoying since regular drops really and truthfully have minimal difference on larger or smaller groups on average it’s like a 10k difference. The only time in my opinion smaller groups are worth it is if your unique hunting and I ask them that and they never respond except a few which mainly are ironmen. I know the statistics behind the groups of Zalcano for the party size but I’ve been doing Zalcano for a while now for a video I want to post and me personally will be calling out things that can be fixed about the boss in the video but the people there at Zalcano definitely need to be checked and I have no way of proving if anyone is really good farming or not but it’s really suspicious when you try to ask them if they are and they hop or log out and by the way they are usually less than 100 combat.
7:24 That has to be a joke, lmao.
Dylaran sadly no lol
its crazy how much bots have gotten out of hand, the sad part is its never going to really stop until people stop buying gold. people wouldn't invest time into botting if there wasn't a demand.
The salmon pickers at the barb encampment are used for the food for zammy wine bots
How do you know all these pro bot programmers, anyway? I'm not sure what your goal here is other than TH-cam views, because you talk extensively about these bot farms but you refuse to talk about who runs them, almost as if you actually don't want them to get caught. And why does that matter? Why does their privacy deserve to be respected, considering what they are doing? You use undercover aliases when contacting these people anyway, right?
You have no experience talking to people that would spend their entire day researching the people that come after them, and then try to do something extremely malicious to them with the information they found. Read back about what people did to other gilded altar hosts just for "stealing their players". Most of the time I'd imagine Pugger joins discords that have active botmakers and gets in touch with them, and the only reason he gets to speak with them is because they know they'll remain anonymous. It's not like anything will happen to the person Pugger exposes, it's literally a discord username. That's nothing to go off of, because Discord's pretty secure. It isn't like these botmakers are getting in touch and giving Pugger their name, email, and phone number for future contact.
Also, with bot farms being exposed, players go and interrupt the farms and bot makers either have to shut down or move to something else. I figure that's the reason botmakers like the cowhide bot farm is settling for less, because they're less likely to be targeted. And yeah, views are apart of TH-cam. Congratulations, great analysis. Here's a medal.
It's actually insane how undetectable these bots are getting. This game is being destroyed.
destroyed? its always been the same, right from the beginning. theres several reasons why bots are not nuked. the obvious one is IRL $$$ and the osrs economy would suffer, as nobody wants to spend all the time to farm those same supplies to sell. the efficiency mindset of the community now has destroyed the game way more than bots though
Try and buy supplies when there arent bot farms gathering them all, theyre doing what people dont wanna do and keeping the economy goin
@@ShinyJacko so... you would have to play the game and gather the supplies yourself or pay what they are actually worth? why do you think they released iron man? the game is shit these days lol. can buy a max cape for $100.
10+ free to play bots per world camping the gold spawns in dwarven mine is the most obscure. They are programmed to run anywhere in the cavee, and bank with full inventory, but if no one drops them ore, they could be sitting on mounds of cash. You can also make a train of iron ore and some bots will suicide to scorpions because they dont know how to return back to the gold spawns if lured too far.
Might make some intresting content
There are at least 15 bots on every world running wheat to bank at the Draynor wheat field...
Jagex needs to hire a couple people full time to just track down bots..
It's really not that difficult to spot bots. With mod powers it would be unbelievably easy.
Arush S yes
Harder to prove. How do you know it's not a legitimate Venezuelan player and the reason they don't respond is because they only speak english
@@Culturedtuna1 I think you meant to say Spanish?(Venezuela's language)
Fortunately translator apps are widely available for every common language.
I don't know every tool mods have at their disposal but I'm sure they have ways to track the players play time, the time they generally play, what they're doing with their money/time and trade history.
There's so many ways you could determine if an account is a bot or a legitimate one.
Plus even if an account is legitimate they may still be breaking game rules such as staking for real world trading etc.
There is littarally a gold selling add on this vid, love the content, just take care of that add lol
Ads are based off of what you're interested in. He can't control it, Google listens to you, no joke. Talk about dog or cat food and then Google some stuff, promise you'll see a related ad to it.
1:21 with jagex ignoring the phone is great
8:14 dude those tiny pigs are so cute
I havnt played in like 2 years, i log into my pure the otherday on my phone while on data to see how it was, then logged out, a week later decided to log in on my pc, and an hour before someone had accessed it, empied my bank and left me in CW, probably this fucking guy. I assume the mobile app is somehow unsafe, anyone else had this?
George Smash put authenticator on and keep a pin bud it notifies you if anyone tries to get into your accounts and prevents them from accessing your bank for at least 7 days
Phones don't have any anti virus protection really so another app might be key logging. This would be extremely easy to do for custom keyboard apps.

I've noticed some unusual activity on f2p worlds around the falador dwarf mine. A lot of 'bots' going from Edgevile to the mine and then wondering around the shop and anvil area, some of them pick up the 1gp on the floor.
Nice videos man. I’ve been skulltricking for months between the lava maze teleport and revenant cave. During this period I’ve seen loads of different rev bots. Different pathings/reactions when getting attacked. At the moment there’s a big farm with 60-80s all named like RedPoster/SillySnail/KiloSnake (They all have two random words starting with capitals). Another active farm are mostly 80s. They all got ancient d hide boots. I been doing this for a long time, I made two in depth skulltrick videos about that spot on my channel.
i wonder how many "real" players really does play runescape
about 20% of the number online is real players
only you. the rest of us are bots.
I wonder how many actual humans are in this world. I'd say maybe 20% are clones and Reptilians.
Wow that's unreal... Something needs to be done
I'm running a bot farm right now, it harvests the seed of virgins in erp. People pay my bots and through advanced algorithms generates some text to reply to what they have to say using key words next to others to make a cohesive experience, my bots charge 5mil for sucky sucky time and so far has made me over 20bil.
