Landmark Jagex Victory Over Bots in Legal Battle

I believe they kept things secret because they were closer and closer to finding the solution to stop them once and for all. Had they been publicizing every step they took, or even just a few steps, they would have been giving warning to the bot makers/users and they could have done more to prevent it by changing their software or finding other ways to evade the nuke. It sucks that the player base didn't know more about what was going on behind the scenes, but I think it was necessary to produce the results we now see today. Just my two cents.

Agreed, makes a lot of sense

Speaking of the golden globes, I voted for games I'd never played- really didn't feel there was any way they were the best out there in any of the available categories and couldn't bear to see them win

Not expecting to see all those who did bot get punished unfortunately but fingers crossed! A full reset of every stat botted to 0exp along with one more stat chosen at random per botted skill seems like a fair punishment to me
