they would think by banning bots that they would realize they are losing money

Iv just had a brief read through and seen some figures, and Jagex must be fucking them self in the ass.

 

3 Months or so since "we’ve completed the integration of the full system"

 

"During its testing phase, it managed to successfully ban 21,000 accounts" - That results in £103,950 ($158,211) Lost revenue in 2 weeks.

 

"the system has successfully removed over 200,000 gold farmers and bots from the game." - So that 200k figure represents £990,000 ($1,506,582) .. In reality there saying that in 3 months they have shafted them self out of £1.1 Million ($1,673,980) .. ? Are they for fucking real?

 

Forgive me if i wrong here, but i think Jagex would benefit more from turning a blind eye to bots, we as botters supply alot of revenue to their company. Without us they would be nothing! .. NOTHING I TELL YOU!!

 

Your argument does not make sense. As far as I know, people have to pay for a membership subscription before they are able to play on OSRS worlds. Furthermore, by banning all these accounts, Jagex actually saves money on resources that botters would use (that is, computational capacity on their servers etc.). In addition, most botters tend to start a new account and re-purchase membership subscriptions. So in the end, it actually benefits Jagex.  

They are looking for good attention in my opinion.
