Multiple reasons

  1. Runescape is dying in general.
  2. Developers on here went MIA for a whole month or more. 
  3. The owner of this site and developer is mia for months at a time without saying one word.
  4. The ban system Jagex is using is getting very good and people can barely bot any more without getting banned.

 

It's sad to see, but it's true. Runescape is an old game, that is way behind in development, and looks like a cartoon compared to other games.

i'd dispute #1 but the rest were on point.

I agree with the other reasons, but this one I do not. I just heard OSRS had one of the highest (Or close to) amount of players just recently; honestly even right now there is more players online that there was a few months ago. Even RS3 has been pulling in good numbers recently, so I know it's not Runescape that is dying. Though I agree with your other reasons.

Well January of this year was a really good month at OSBot for me personally, and there were only 13k average people online playing OSRS, so once again I don't think it's dying what so ever.

So yes it did have more players during launch, though the declining numbers didn't seem to effect OSBot very much, until these recent events(OSBot 2, MIA Devs, Crazy Drama, and Bans); which leads me to believe that RuneScape is not dying, and is not the reason OSBot is where it's at right now.

You also have to count that more than half of those 13k were botters, now we have less than that. The bans are coming more and more, and people stopped botting as they got what they want out of it and can't risk it any more. They opened up f2p, which made a lot more LEGIT players come over. In my opinion the number may have grown, but the people actually botting has dropped. Check when the servers are about to go offline thursday the number before and the number after. Used to the worlds would all get to under 50 people.

OSBot is dying because the botting scene is dying out.

 

OSRS IS NOT DYING, it's summer, the number since a few months ago has actually doubled even with the massive amount of bots being banned.

OSRS isn't dying. Take a look: http://www.crystalmathlabs.com/tracker/players.php.

 

It's developer inactivity / not giving a rat's ass, which leads to bans.

I've found multiple vulnerabilities in the OSBot 2 client that are dead giveaways to Jagex that you're a bot.

 

No amount of quality script writing, proxies, or private scripts are going to stop the bans as long as these vulnerabilities exist in the client.
