Botting Player

Botting Player
'''A botting Player is a player that uses third party software to achieve an unfair advantage over the players of runescape and are found all around Runescape and often reside in areas where money and experience can be made; such as inside the "Rock Caverns" or fighting "Green Dragons" at level 17-18 wilderness. Botting is against the rules of Runescape and players are punished for Botting through warnings, stat roll backs and if they are caught botting thrice, the players account will be terminated by Jagex. Suprisingly, after the "bot nukes", many players of the game dissapeared. At first glance this may appear as if many players are unhappy with recent Runescape alterations and quit, but the reality is that a large quantity of players were bots, and a lot of others were bot alt account used to make the players' "Main" acount gold, with low risk to the user as Runescape does not ban players by their IP adresses.

An easy way to spot a botter, is when they move in an irregular pattern such as walking back and forth repeatedly when trying to pick pocket, or by running east and praying mage even whilst the attacker is using melee or attacks. Aside from this, botters have a tendancy to follow the same routine; for example a player wearing no armour except a dragonfire shield and has a whip equipped, tends to stand still for long periods of time at green dragons and is wearing an "Amulet of defence" is most likely a bot designed to slay Green dragons. There are two noticeable types of botters that do this. 1. Stand idle for a few seconds eating low healing food before using a Teletab. 2. Wait a few seconds, run south for a few seconds and then teletab (Without eating, pressumably so players with low prayer do not get smited for their weapon, which is almost always an "Abyssal whip.)
