The Runescape Auto Fisher is in fact yet another ‘macro’ that is against Jagex’s rules. If you are caught using this program, your account (along with your other accounts) will be banned. Jagex takes a strong stance against cheaters, and they have good reason to. Even if it seems that their rules are not fair, they have each and every one of them for the good of the player. Without rules, the ones who cheat would rule the game and the ones who do not cheat would quit. This is not good for Jagex. Think about it, would you want to play a game where everyone cheated? I did not think
so.

RS Auto Fisher and Jagex
“Our policy has always been that we do not tolerate any form of cheating. We do not ban accounts lightly. Significant evidence is always collected before any action is taken against a player. We will not reveal the evidence that we have collected, since most cheats only want to know the evidence so that they can avoid getting caught the next time.”

As you can tell, Jagex takes cheating very serious and will NOT tolerate ANY form of cheating. Jagex has this rule not only because of the unfair advantages, but also because these third party software’s can harm your computer. A lot of these programs contain Keyloggers, Trojans, or Viruses. These viruses will try to steal your account information, or sometimes even more personal information such as your credit card information. Even if the person who made the program did not mean for it to harm your computer, an unintended flaw could still put your computer at risk!

A Macro, according to definition, is a single computer instruction that results in a series of instruction is machine language. Thus, the Runescape Auto Fisher will automatically fish, even if the player is not at their computer. This allows an unfair advantage over other players. Let me give you an example. Say you get on Runescape 2 hours every day for a week and all you do in those 2 hours is fish. You will gain some levels, but it will take you awhile at that rate. Now, another player uses a Runescape Auto Fisher, they leave their account on for a whole week, and all it is doing is fishing. Who do you think is going to reach level 99 first? The cheater of course! This makes the people who are not cheating feel that their efforts are worthless. That is one reason that Jagex takes such a strong stance against cheaters.

 

Runescape Auto Fisher and Pros
If you think you can cheat on a ‘throw-away’ account and then just walk away without any consequence, you are wrong. Let me tell you a little story. It was on January 19, 2006 that my story takes place. It was around this time that cheating was a huge problem, and Jagex had enough of it. So on this day they decided to show these cheaters who was the boss. They showed how much power they had by banning over 15,000 Runescape Accounts for using these auto bots.

They posted on their front page that they have programs that can EASILY detect people who use these programs, and that they will ban ALL of the player’s accounts, and not just the one that was cheated on. Jagex still bans thousands of accounts a month because of this problem. Sadly, Jagex cannot do it on their own. They need help from their players. So please, if you think someone is cheating, report him or her using the Report Abuse button. Jagex will investigate and if the person is in fact cheating, they will be banned. Help keep Runescape a fun game.

If your account is banned for cheating, you will not be shown the evidence. This will only help
The cheater to build a program that will bypass Jagex’s defenses! Here is what Jagex has to say on the matter:

Runescape Autoers Explained
When you see someone in Runescape exclaiming that there is an ‘autoer’ and for everyone to report them you may wonder what on earth they mean. Well a Runescape autoer is basically someone who is using a program which automatically carries out a task for the person who runs it. A person will record a set of actions and then when they have completed the action instead of playing fairly they will set the program to continue to carry on for them. Runescape autoers are often program that repeat the more repetitive tasks of Runescape, like mining ores for you or fishing for you.

The Types of Free Runescape Autoers Available
There are hundreds of different type of Autoers for Runescape that can be downloaded and used in the game, but the list is too long so I will name but a few of the major ones. It should be pointed out at this point that autoer programs are considered macros and are against the rules of Runescape.

Runescape Auto Miner
The Runescape Auto Miner isn’t the most common auto programs, but it is still one that is used to make a lot of money with little effort. A good prevention to this is when the rock being mined starts to smoke and the pickaxe will break unless you move away quickly. When this happens to an autoer they are stuck as they have no pick axe. They often avoid this by carrying more than one pickaxe.

Runescape Auto Woodcutter
The Runescape Woodcutting Autoer is one of the most used Runescape autoers. You will constantly see players using them as you navigate around Runescape. There are many level 3’s cutting away at trees, especially in Draynor Village. These autoers will not respond to you, so there is no point wasting your time trying to speak to them, they will not reply.

Runescape Auto Fisher
Also when you’re in Draynor Village take another look when you are by the willow trees as you will see many level 3’s continuously fishing, non-stop. There is nothing you can do about this other than report these abusers of the game to Runescape through the report abuse button.

Runescape Auto Talker
These you will definitely have seen lurching around West Varrock bank on World 1. Annoying as they are, again you cannot do much about it other than report these people. These people set a program to continuously say the same thing over and over again. With their built in mistake maker to type some of the words wrong to make it look like they have tried typing fast but got it wrong makes it hard to tell who is and who isn’t cheating.

What action is Jagex taking against Autoers for Runescape?
On the 19th January 2006 Jagex banned over 15,000 Runescape accounts for using a to play the game for them to gain an unfair advantage. Jagex say that they ‘We can detect this type of cheating VERY easily. Surprisingly some people seem to think they can get away with this, but we’re making sure you can’t.’ Jagex have systems that specifically find people that are cheating by using software which will ban not only the account they are on, but any other account they own. They again updated their systems and banned another 19075 accounts on 11th May 2007 and say that they ‘ban 8000 accounts each week.’

Jagex state that, ‘We will not let cheats spoil our game for everyone else. It’s just not fair on our millions of legitimate players to let a selfish few try and spoil the game for everyone else.’ Many people think Jagex aren’t doing enough to get rid of the autoers, but will there really ever be a way to find one immediately and then ban it? I doubt it. Though with the recent additions of the limited exchange system they implemented along with the Grand Exchange they definitely put a big dent in the real world trading market, which were the main abusers of Runescape autos. Other than that all they can do at the moment is keep on reviewing the reports sent in, and don’t expect them to read them all, there are millions sent in each day.

What Happens If I Download a Runescape Autoer
It is HIGHLY likely that the file will contain a virus and infect your computer, in a lot of cases beyond repair. This could require you to buy a new hard drive or even a new computer. There is also a possibility that the file contains spyware which will record your keystrokes, INCLUDING usernames and passwords. So don’t Download Runescape Autoers.

The Effect of Runescape Autos on Others
Autoers for Runescape are used by people who want to gain an unfair advantage in the game. This involves cheating to become better than other players who are playing the game fairly and could possibly be unaware of this situation. Other players are pushed down the highscores list and disregarded by the cheaters. Pretend Runescape was a board game and you were playing against a friend. Suppose they cheated by moving your counter back a space, I’m guessing you wouldn’t be happy at this stage. This is exactly the same as playing online and having players cheat to become better than you.
