But agreed, their bot detection is horrible. I was botting 1+ action per second for 12+ hours a day for months and was only caught when I made a dumb mistake. Tough though, since there are real players with the same playing habits.

I suspect that machine learning might be the only path forward for tackling these issues but even then sophisticated bots will probably still exist.
Some have played their entire life and bot because they want to get ahead. Others bot because they don't have the freetime. It's complicated. As long as you don't really abuse it, Jagex has never really banned for this stuff. The idea here is that you don't get banned because it means losing a potential life long customer, sometimes they subscribe for a few months on and off but they eventually usually come back. There's a lot to it, in reality it's really obvious. Most of the more advanced ones just send packets, though that's another story and it's very obvious. Jagex just doesn't immediately ban them because well, there's not really a point.
My first thought was, well anything Jagex does is going to have to be server side, right? But I just remembered I recently watched a video on anti-cheat software (i.e. spyware).
Did they make RS2 worse, or is Runelite just that good? I haven't played in literally 15 years.
Not even close to that difficult.
> A huge percent of players use Runelite, a 3rd party launcher, because it provides invaluable tools (the game is near-unplayable without it)
This is a non-point? Bot detection should be serverside.

Bring back aggresive/violent random events. Evil chicken, come back!
