Andrew I believe I made a misconception about the random events that would attack you. ( I'm pretty sure I remembered wrong, now that I think about it.) Sorry, I remember that the mage's in draynor ( Level 5-7?) would cast a wind strike at me and attack me. I got confused with the random events. Sorry everyone :/.
And SRL Smith I agree with almost everything, but the botting issue was a huge issue even before 2011 and free trade. I remember when I went hunting ( now 99
) in the Feldip Hills that there were tons and tons of bots. The range guild was packed, woodcutters all over the place.
I believe that a common misconception was that botting skyrocketed on an unprecedented scale right when Free Trade arrived. I noticed many botters even before that and it was a massive problem for JaGeX in 2010.
Free Trade obviously didn't help at all but made it even worse for botting because it was more encouraging to bot or do some real world trading because it was less complicated. I know that there was a little "boom" of "inapropriate activity" after Free Trade arrived but I think that many people embellish that the big botting problem seemed to become noticeable when Free Trade was released.
Anyways, thanks everyone for sharing your opinions and comments it has made this thread more interesting like so many others!
Oh, and by the way, before I forget, I also STRONGLY believe that JaGeX is solely after money and not looking out for the game in the long-run.
If they were intelligent, they would try to provide a solution about botting instead of letting it run rampant and do temporary bans. Even a former J-Mod said that JaGeX was not looking out for the future of the game but are interested solely in profits.
I understand from a business perspective that profits are very important of course, but you need to be thinking about in the long-run how to maintain a steady income and be able to provide a satisfying business/game for your customers so that new customers will find out about the game and that your "regulars" or current members/players continue to play the game for a while.
Anyhoo, that's about it. Let me know if you have any comments about this recent post or the post at the beginning of this thread.
P.S. I do understand that this post went off track from how RuneScape players have gotten more disrespectful and this current generation or my generation. But, I do think that this post has some relevance to this thread.
So, I have you all have a wonderful day, I'm going to go do my homework now because I literally have done nothing for the last hour, and I hope to be successful one day.
All The Best,
Shane
