Of course jmods are aware, his point is
Osrs gold
that their approach for this sounds very backburner.That is a fantastic point and you are absolutely right. I only hope that anti botting and anti aging farmers becomes a frontline attack instead of the afterthought it is apparently now.
The point is that they can look at these obvious accounts and see whether they're selling gold. You don't ban them for KC, it is just an index you use to help narrow down who you are looking at for gold selling.
Additionally, it is ridiculous to think that it's somehow a big problem that effects the game moving onto Steam. Bots are a problem that impact the games' economy and the top pages of the hiscores.
Newbies will care as soon as they attempt to
Buy Rs gold
create money and realize that all the low level gathering methods have horrible gp/hour since the supplies are devalued by bots and goldfarmers killing bosses all day.Bots are poor. Allow me to get that out of the manner and avoid any straw man arguments. Bots are bad. But I don't think that argument works at all. Here is the counter-point: Newbies will be thrilled that supplies are all cheap as hell so they don't have to spend ridiculous hours farming cash to fund their buyables.
