I've read from a lot of posts on the forums that it's generally not good to bot in populated worlds.

 

What about when it comes to fishing at catherby or thieving master farmers. I feel like you blend in with the real players.. Especially while fishing. I've ran the Avenger's AIO fishing bot at barbarian village (powerfishing trout and salmon).

 

Thoughts? Maybe I'm missing something.

i personally would rather bot in a non crowed world reason being i feel it is as easy for a mod to go to one of those populated worlds and start banning right and left then again i have only ever really been banned twice in my time of playing runescape and it was both from running flax pickers the most obvious bot of runescape .

I bot in populated worlds and I have never been banned in ~6 years. Since everyone says you're better off botting in non populated worlds, why not bot in populated worlds? (higher % of legit players). A mod will unlikely be able to ban like 200 odd fishers at Catherby (there's no way of telling who's botting)!

Well it's pretty obvious to see who's botting, especially goldfarmers. And they have done a few events where a Jmod would go around and ban lots of bots in botting hotspots.

 

Also, I think botting skills like Fletching which requires bankstanding would be better to bot in highly populated words, so you're just one of the 20-30 people standing at one bank booth which would decrease the chances of getting reported.

I bot in populated worlds, but just not hot spot areas. Like if I bot fletching, I'll go sit in the Catherby bank, because if Mods decided to do a bot busting event, they'll focus on the people botting fishing and cooking. Not the guy who's just doing some honest fletching.

 

Combat botting is much trickier though. If you bot on a populated world, you're less likely to get singled out, but, you'll lose exp that you could obtain on a world with less people. But on a world with less people, someone is going to single you out as a bot and report you.

In a stack of 100 people, how are they going to separate who's botting and who's fishing legit? The only way to is to tell everyone to spread out. Anyway, fishing and woodcutting have botwatch on them so you're going to get banned wherever you stand. Sitting in a crowded bank and fletching or something in a popularted world most likely won't get you banned.

I look at it in two ways, one would be if you're fishing, or any other skill which requires to be stood still, then you're more likely to be safe hidden in the crowds. However, I would do Combat on a unpopulated world, in hope that no one notices me, or that if one or two see me, they leave me be.
