I personally haven't seen a bot in months

  • Both games certainly have bot problems but they're definitely more notable in OSRS. The spiders in RS3 tend to be easier to not notice since they are farming available to all content that is not part of the meta vs OSRS ones being in more regularly utilized places. Overall I'd say RS3 has kinda the level of bots you would expect for RS gold an MMORPG - they are there, you can detect them but RuneScape isn't overrun. OSRS is certainly tipping the scale being over run since the engine severly restricts their bot detection possible to quietly cope with bots automatically behind the scenes. Its why the"which game is more popular" arguements between buff boys who detest the opposing version always go round and around in circles.

    OSRS will always fixate in their using a greater internet player count as evidence they're more popular, but RS3 side will constantly raise when you look at the amount of bots you can find on any given world as proof OSRS has less real players and their higher online count is the result of such as 75% being robots. RS3 is considerably more quest so nearly all the playerbase doesn't hang out in the areas that botters use, out of sight out of mind, locked. I personally haven't seen a bot in months. Botting is still a problem in RS3 but maybe not to the extent that it is on OSRS.

    RS3 has bots but copes with them. Normally they come back after the prohibit waves that are monthly but lately a botfarms seem to have disappeared. This is cause and effect of these bots; even more players, more active black market, more illicit actors and bigger team allocated to the development means more exploits than you'd expect are getting through. However these issues each has a silver lining or factor that people put up.

    Enjoyable activities and more players experience that is better likes Pking and minigames have been all played. More active black economy = bonds prices higher, better for Jagex and keeps MTX away. Mor illicit actors signifies also more whistle blowers, occasionally big issues get exposed to the community in ways like you've experienced on YT and whatnot. Smaller dev staff means we receive a more personal touch and communicating appears to flow much better.

    Possibly unpopular belief, but offline OSRS would be awesome

    OfflineScape has several possible benefits and could potentially benefit the live match in the long run. Since its invention, RuneScape has always been about playing with friends and connecting with other individuals in a gameplay atmosphere that is shared. That is amazing and should never go away. HOWEVER. Think just how much pleasure it was to do whatever you desired and about playing Skyrim. Spawn in things? Yeah, sure. Noclip your way through a dungeon? I thought you'd never ask. It allowed you to just have fun in the way you saw fit. Now, back to OSRS. A offline mode would let you do whatever you wanted with your account without fear of a) affecting different people's gameplay and b) with any principles you might be punished for OSRS buy gold breaking. This mode wouldn't provide any"cheats", but it would be offline and there's nobody stopping you from auto-clicking your solution to 99 magic if that is the way you want to enjoy RuneScape.
