    What I'm saying is there needs to be slight restrictions on what can be released for free. I'm all for a free market with source codes being shared and everyone building off of one another, however there HAS to be limitations if botting is to survive. Why were the big bots like RSBot and RSBuddy eventually taken down? Because they got so big and had a free script for anything. RuneScape was covered in goldfarmers and people training their skills, almost no one online was playing legitimately. They had to do something about it, and what they did was take legal action.

    RSBot and RSBuddy never got taken down...The RSBuddy team moved on...RSBot is still up today...

     

    While many people want to receive compensation for their work and make their script premium, others release things for free. Every client needs free scripts, and lots of them, but they should be controlled. Releasing a free Willow chopper, for example, is completely fine as people can get their levels and not do any harm to the economy. Now lets say someone releases a free AIO Woodcutter, what happens? Log prices crash, worlds become overpopulated with goldfarming bots, and Jagex starts mass banning.

     

    1. As chosen by the administrators/scripters select free scripts (such as goldfarming ones) will be forced to become premium
    2. No undercutting prices. If a premium script goes out it has to be for a reasonable price (as chosen by the administrators/scripters)
    3. Payment option to donate 100% of script profits to OSBot directly if the script maker so chooses
    4. Limit free scripts to singel use only (preventing mass goldfarming but still keeping the script free)
    1. No! They should be forced to be instanced.
    2. I agree with you 100%.
    3. I kinda agree with you,but the OSBot devs need to be more active for what they're getting atm.
    4. This should be the same for Premium scripts as well.

    But I have a feeling that you're just making this thread to try and make more money from your premium scripts sleep.png

     

     

    I have to agree with Pikachu here (mostly). Sorry Swizzbeat :P I can totally understand the point you are trying to make, but the idea of taking away a scripters right to determine what to do with his or her own script is bad bad bad... I like the idea of instancing better, It's like a compromise.

    It's odd now the has been a free GDK on tri and here at the same time and the ban rate was the same as it is now...

    Like I've pointed out consistently on this thread, * requires a subscription to use their bots and is not free.

    You need VIP to run more than one OSBot and no one can gold farm with 1 tab...

    Which is one of the options I posted, limit free scripts to be single use only. You essentially agree with parts of this post you just won't admit it.

    so you want me to release a free version of all the scripts you currently have premium? ;)

    I really have mixed feelings about this. The idea has good things, but at the same time bad things.

    No support. Scripters will move to other botting communities and OSBot will lose their script writers.

     

    It's up to the script writer whether they want to release their scripts for free or premium.

    Swizzbeat is just mad that he is losing sales on his scripts because there are free ones out there.
