I’ve wanted to do this for a while, but given that the world hop limit always kicked in was really annoying. When I heard they revoked it, I thought why the hell not.
The purpose is more or less to stop the dicing bots as a whole. Sure, P-Mod would be awesome and help but that’s not the end goal. I’m honestly not going to stop reporting these accounts until all of them are gone and they have a proper prevention system towards this.
It’s to show Jagex that what they’re doing to prevent these bots isn’t enough and in my eyes it’s disappointing that a random player has to not only go down the list reporting all these bots, but also post it on a PUBLIC forum (reddit) for it to actually get attention.
The first 2 days went un-noticed and it took a further 2 posts in order to see a change (banning approx 38 bots).
It's worth noting that we're not banning the accounts because you're specifically posting about them - we already go through and ban them en mass, however they're easy to create and therefore show up often, and we have to be cautious when banning them as quite a few are often hijacked.
Also, accounts we ban won't show as random [#] names on your ignore list - that's only when we remove the display name on top of a ban.
