Are RS3 bots still a thing? What’s the current state of botting in RuneScape 3? - hyperFantom99 - 19-06-2024
Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been away from RS3 for a while and was wondering... are RS3 bots still a thing? I remember back in the day, they were everywhere, but I’m curious how things are now.
Has Jagex cracked down on them hard, or are they still lurking around? I’ve heard mixed things—some say bot detection is way better, while others claim RS3 bots are still out there, just more sneaky.
Also, how’s the impact on the economy? Are prices still getting messed up by RS3 bots farming resources? Or has it balanced out?
Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Cheers!
(Also, sorry for any typos, typing this on my phone lol.)

Hey! Yeah, RS3 bots are still around, but Jagex has definitely stepped up their game with bot detection. They’ve got this system called Botwatch now, and it’s pretty good at catching them.
That said, some bots are still sneaky and use more advanced scripts to avoid detection. You’ll see them in high-resource areas like mining or fishing spots, but they get banned pretty fast these days.
As for the economy, it’s not as bad as it used to be. Prices are more stable, but you’ll still notice some items being farmed by bots, like ores or logs. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than before.
If you’re worried about bots, I’d recommend checking out the official RS3 forums or the subreddit for updates on botting trends.

Honestly, RS3 bots are way less common than they used to be. Jagex has been pretty aggressive with bans, and the botting scene has kinda died down.
You’ll still find a few here and there, but they’re not as obvious. Most of them are in low-population worlds or doing activities that don’t draw much attention.
The economy’s been pretty stable lately, though. Bots aren’t flooding the market like they used to, so prices are more reasonable.
If you’re curious, there are some third-party tools like Runemetrics that can help you track prices and see if bots are affecting certain items.

RS3 bots? Oh, they’re still a thing, but they’re way more low-key now. Jagex has been cracking down hard, so most bots don’t last long.
You’ll still see them in places like the Mining Guild or at fishing spots, but they’re not as widespread. The economy’s been holding up pretty well, though. Prices aren’t as messed up as they used to be.
If you’re worried about bots, I’d suggest sticking to high-population worlds. Bots tend to avoid those because they’re more likely to get reported.
Also, check out the RS3 wiki for tips on avoiding bot-heavy areas.

Yeah, RS3 bots are still out there, but they’re not as bad as they used to be. Jagex has been doing a decent job of keeping them in check.
You’ll still find them farming resources like ores or logs, but they get banned pretty quickly. The economy’s been pretty stable, so I wouldn’t worry too much about prices being messed up.
If you’re looking for a way to avoid bots, try using the official RS3 client. It’s got some built-in anti-bot features that help.
Also, there’s a site called OSRS Bot Detector that tracks bot activity. It’s not perfect, but it’s worth checking out.

RS3 bots are definitely still a thing, but they’re not as obvious as they used to be. Jagex has been pretty good at banning them, but some still slip through the cracks.
You’ll see them in places like the Wilderness or at resource spots, but they’re not as common as they used to be. The economy’s been pretty stable, though. Prices aren’t as messed up as they were a few years ago.
If you’re worried about bots, I’d recommend using the official RS3 forums to stay updated on botting trends.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! It’s good to hear that RS3 bots aren’t as big of a problem as they used to be. I’ll definitely check out the RS3 wiki and the OSRS Bot Detector site to stay updated.
One follow-up question though: do you think Jagex’s bot detection system is good enough to keep up with the more advanced bots? Or do you think they’ll eventually find a way around it?
Also, I’ll try sticking to high-population worlds like some of you suggested. Cheers!
