What is a bot?

A Bot in Runescape is a character who is controlled not by a player but by a software.
You’ll be able to find them quite commonly performing certain tasks / skills that people would usually have to go AFK for so players don’t actually have to spend any of their time doing anything.Bots usually have specifically set tasks, Such as skilling for the player, Killing for the player and making money for the player.

Please note that botting in Runescape is against the rules and can result in account termination.

How do you recognise a bot?

Bots are quite easy to recognise in the lands of Gielinor as most of them share the common themes.

They’ve got names which are randomly generated and consist of the same pattern which is numbers, then words and numbers again, sometimes it’ll just be numbers and words or Vice Versa.

Please note that some players may actually be players. Its good to try and get their attention by asking a few questions. There will be genuine players who follow this theme.

Chopping the Yew trees in Edgeville (This is a rare one though) and the Yews by the Grand Exchange (Also, i’ve encounted a few at the oaks before)

Please note that bots may be more common on free-to-play worlds as they would not require a subscription for those servers.

One thing common among bots as well is maxing out one skill.
