In your own opinion, do you think Jagex currently has the upper hand on bots? I have been a long time Runescape player/botter since 2004, have had 100's of accounts and have used every botting platform there was... But now obviously Runescape 3 has won the battle of the bots.. and with their updated anti-botting measures with Machine learning, dedicated team(s) it has become very difficult to even bot OSRS a main account, let alone a bot-farm. Obviously there is still people out there with success, but for myself and most of the people I know aren't having that much luck, with mirror mode, private scripts, botting "smart", VPS, proxies, Servers, it almost seems impossible now of days

Well as far as I’m concerned I’m winning this battle I rarely get banned on my accounts 

When did rs3 get machine learning involved in ban detection? That's news to me. Also I doubt jagex can ever actually win unless it is not worth while for someone competent enough to figure out a solution.

Saw some rs3 bots at Frost dragons. Only had melee skills and 85 dung. everything else level 1. Every bot had 100m+ xp in each melee though...

I think they have the upper hand on a lot of people but when it comes to people who know what they're doing, Jagex are certainly losing. 

It's not only possible to make money by gold-farming with bots but it's also possible to have a decent account and bot a main, it's just a lot harder to get away with these days than it used to be.

 

I recently saw a user post a 100% botted account with these stats: https://gyazo.com/ae51e9b1f7ceb4871c78d5e65aa81e7f

I saw that, pretty impressive considering the ban rates now of days!

Twas sure easier back when OSRS came out, i had a friend make me private scripts and i would run 20-30 accounts when gold was $2+ a mill, now i have to find extremely private methods and select bot them with few accounts to prevent saturation & depreciation of prices & repeat... wish it was like the old days cashing out a few extra $$ a week... also i wish i knew more java than i do and some python

Currently running a farm of 8 accounts 24/7.

Using a public paid script.

Have only had 1 ban since Jan this year.

1 account has 18M exp in the particular skill botted.

 

I wouldnt say that Jagex are winning

Thats that guy that was trying to bot the f2p moss giant boss lol.

I think the rs3 thing is from the guy who was a bot maker that worked for jagex. Think he left the company before he could implement it to osrs

You mean Jacmob lol.

I think he's got a pretty cool story to his name whether he been doin work against bots in rs or not the dude did some cool things with java.

World 97 ftw.

i botted over 10 hours a day straight to get my main max melee in a month, idk if they are winning, if someone who hasnt been botting in years can come back to botting and bot over 200 hours to get max melee, then i dont think they are winning, imagine what people have been doing for years with good knowledge of botting. 

It is much harder than it was a decade ago, but botting is still a very viable method of income from many. It is just more challenging before and time has to be taken to develop good strategies to farm and to avoid being banned.

IMO it’s easier now than ever has been. Gold prices are extremely low and max cape is new meta 99s aren’t even hardly an accomplishment anymore. 
 

now it’s about twisted leagues and account grid locks, last man stands, new quest content for enjoyable experience vs the addiction where cheaters have just about every edge in this game now days.

Not getting any bans I am even worried for the game because of it 

I think that there might be a money dupe or gold farmers must be out of control 
Jagex clearly does not have things in control.
If you are getting banned frequently than you are low hanging fruit 

Botting is still good to go and viable
