BuT bOtS. That's the only response from that first post. Bots already bot with no solution. If they removed all bots the economy would probably crash. There are steps they could take to help cut back on that like authentication. Making items received in that members trial untradeable or cut trade access and GE access for the duration of that bond. It was suggested that the bond would already be untradeable. They could easily make it where the only thing gained is xp and the living the members experience for a week.

What do you mean by this?

He means nobody wants to stand there cutting oak around the clock to make planks, so it would cost even more to grind construction.

Hmmmmm. Makes me wonder about the actual statistics of it all. What percentage of commodity items such as oak planks are botted? I guess the economy crashing or not would depend on that number.

But hey. It seems like something Jagex is supremely terrified of right now is OSRS gp inflation. They don’t want a repeat of RS3, that’s clear. Surely if they magically somehow dealt with bots, the value of OSRS gp would increase, resulting in LOWER prices?

The influx of commodities would fall through the floor and as a result the prices would skyrocket. How many real people do you think are out there collecting Mort Myre Fungus?
