At the guys saying random waypoints isnt more 'human'... wtf?
When we hunt manually its nearly impossible to follow the same 'waypoints' and we dont anyway... you can CLEARLY spot a bot over a manual player just by watching him walk 6 sqm into a dead end with no monsters, a human would never do that... and wouldnt it be one of the first things to detect bots by watching for continuos repeated tasks/waypoints ?
So, do you suppose CipSoft have a tool that detect character movements, store their coordinates, and keep checking if they are being walked every cicle of the bot, for 80 worlds and 30k players ? I don't believe in such situation.Quote:

These are just some speculations tho.
Well thats just the thing... None of us know what they are doing or how they could get and store this information. It would seem like a pretty stupid idea to NOT track movements since thats the easiest way for anyone to notice a bot... and yes this situation exists, Jagex use it on 100s of worlds with 2-3k players each world.Quote:

Well they may have done this in the past but it seems like they mostly concentrate on bot reports now if you ask me.
even this idea being quite interesting from cipsoft's POV, I don't think it happens for, at least, one reason:Quote:

For this reason, I believe that their system is waypoint-based.
perhaps waypoint-based+report. I had a friend of mine. ek 500. used bot until 440. was without using bot for a year. one day he got deleted after a ferumbras invasion.Quote:

yeah, I share this waypoint + reports idea as well. IMO, some threshold of reports triggers the detection tool on your character.Quote:
