Runescape Macro or Bots

Runescape macro users are ruining the whole runescape economy through their automated actions. Jagex have banned several characters and will continue banning them when they catch them.

Personally I think it would be funny if Jagex introduced a new random event that was only used on suspected macro abusers. This random event would be triggered to appear whenever people reported a potential macro or bot abuser. Obviously it would be random and would appear with a multitude of sayings in order to combat any macro running.

This runescape macro anti-bot would have some consequences. To summarize the idea, the macro anti-bot detector would do the following:

• Appear to players reported via the ingame report abuse
• Randomly appear and ask players to input an answer
• Answers would be obvious to any real person, but hard for a bot to detect
• Each time the random event appeared to a user it would be a different question
• If a player got the question wrong they would be teleport randomly
• Best part, the teleport would be into deep wilderness
• In addition, players would be frozen for up to 30 seconds

I feel if something like this was introduced and applied to people suspected of being a runescape macro, then players would soon stop trying to outfox the game. It would also bring some more fun back into the runescape wilderness as it could enable the cheats to be killed by any pkers that happen to be wandering nearby.

Obviously there is some potential for abuse of the system and Jagex would make exceptions initially, but in the long term they wouldn't as it is against another of their rules to falsely report someone. Overall, I feel this would bring some hilarity to everyone in the game apart from the runescape cheat that was intent on abusing the game.

Runescape members could be transported up to busy locations or almost to within range of the chaos elemental, whereas free to play people would be transported closer to the greater demons in the multi combat zone.
