That said, human players are messy about it, taking different “paths” to the same outcome on any given iteration. By design of trying to complete the same task repetitively, there is some pattern to what even human players are doing. Clicking the same pattern over and over.A simple solution to this is to find an acceptable range where a click can land, and randomize where the click falls, but as we’ll see below that’s potentially not enough. A real person can’t click the exact same pixel every single time, over and over. This is one of the easiest behaviors to detect. With that, here are a few things to pay attention to: What’s more, there are a lot of companies using bot detection in a much more material way, who invest a lot of time in advancing the bot detection tools available (think Google reCAPTCHA). This is my first bot, so I’m sure I’m missing points (please comment below with any additions) and there is a broad field of work on this subject dating back to at least the 1950s. Look like a human! This section is a broader survey of potential pitfalls with bots, but is certainly not all inclusive. Some of the methods to achieve this balance are obvious (don’t have a bot play for 40 hours straight), some require us looking deeper into human (specifically Runescape player) behavior (mouse movement patterns), and some are purely technical/based on understanding our adversary, Jagex (methods of bot detection used). A bot should balance the desire for perfect efficiency with the need to look like a human player. That said, making a GOOD, HARD TO DETECT bot takes thought. However after over 15 years of bot-free play, one day I was unceremoniously banned for botting! So there I am, out a maxed character I’ve invested a significant amount of my life to, because of something I didn’t do, when it occurred to me – as long as I’m going to be punished for it, I might as well actually bot.Ĭreating a bot is actually much simpler than it might seem, and a few of the modules in python (details in the instructions of Part II of this post) make it particularly easy (once you understand how they work). In fact, for over 15 years I played Runescape without ever using a bot of any kind (not an auto clicker or even any keybinds). I’d like to start off by saying that I’ve never been a fan of using “bots” to play games for you – it defeats the purpose (to “play”) and can easily ruin online game communities (as was the case for many years in Runescape before the bot crackdown).
