If Jagex wants to catch the bots EARLY before they do any actual damage, why don't they put an in game authentication test in tutorial island? And to make the test bot proof, they should completely change the test every day or so. This would make it impossible for a botter to develop a bot that could get through it. Seems like itd work to me
@@devonchipman6850 it's impossible for anything to be "bot proof" ignoring that, a botter could easily do the test himself because to not interfere with normal players the test probably wouldn't take longer than 10-20 seconds. most botters (unless they're suicide botting or mass botting) do tutorial island and certain quests manually anyways.
Can I just say I really like how the anti-cheating team at Jagex is being more up front with you regarding the inventories and information of numbers of bots banned? Really awesome to see.
please look into the zulrah mystic bots.The rune boot barrow bots yes glad you covered them. Most have over 5-10k kc. But now I'm seeing the same ppl and gear setup with a much lower kc. So i think they are making new ones.

Imagine if jagex shadow banned mules. Essentially mules could accept wealth but couldn't trade it on. No GE, no droptrading, no selling to stores etc. You could literally mule for a couple of days without noticing.
Ofc this could be countered by just trading back a stick to your bots but i think it's a neat idea. Needs to be more flushed out in order to be effective
@@SesaFX that'd be a good idea, if it weren't for the fact the bots could just try to randomly trade a legitimate player (example: offering free stuff - some idiots always going to trade and accept)
@@maxcamargo151 because the whole point of bots being banned is to confiscate wealth to not dilute the economy, shadowbanning gives a bigger impact since for example someone could have items worth max cash stack, once they wanna trade it on G.E so they can get the money, they will realize, they cant. Wasting their time.
If the PP bots have such a short lifetime, it might be feasible to stop them just by re-balancing the scepter drop rates from the chests, making it far rarer from earlier chests but more common from the later ones, which should probably have been the case to begin with as it's a little strange that it's a flat rate in every room

He is a video journalist, not an AI Engineer. To be able to automatically detect and ban bots at an efficient rate requires a lot of technical knowledge.
Imagine how many hours he has spent just on this one single one. And this botter could potentially be running more methods - This would just be one of them. Jagex is focused on AI and automatically detecting bots as Xavier mentioned. Look at how many bots get killed during the bot killing events and compare it to that, and you will see that Sir Pugger is not really that effective. But he helps normal people understand how all of it works, which serves a whole other purpose than just getting bots banned.
Sir Pugger would lose his autonomy if he were a Jagex employee. He couldn't talk about the botting problem if he worked for Jagex. As an independent member of the press, he has relative freedom to pursue leads and vocalise his concerns without corporate oversight.
@Ayesaac or you could just play the game for years and get really lucky drops everyday. I used to get so many dragon boots back in 2010 . and they were so overpriced .
@@nepnep1149 I used to kill spiritual mages . get a dragon boot drop. Every now and then. Bones to peaches. Camp there for hours. And come back to the bank with 20m easy.
@@xalzor740 i was there 2 days ago and seen multiple lvl120s some with 20m xp. Suppose they could be golf farmers but I just don't see how thats the most efficient money making method. They also very low skill stats.
Check out the massive master farmer bot farm at Draynor, more than 500 there, 3+ per world, some have over 50m xp in thieving which is over 400 hours; they are not being banned often. This is worth investigating especially since it is like 600k-1m gp/h and there are so many of them, this is potentially one of the most lucrative bot farms out there.
Do you think if jagex offered a bountie for bots (maybe like a portion of the items or gp) more people would actively seek out bots and farms and report them?
My best guess is that the massive increase of large bot farms are a result of the rev caves nerf. They're probably (also based on the names) Venezuelan bot farms, possibly made by the people who were of the smarter OSRS players in their rev protection clans now that they've mostly dissolved.
My comment will probably not get read, but I just wanted to say. This is not the only thing these 'Level 9 bots' are farming. I found that if you sit outside of corporal beasts these low level bots occasionally come out wearing an adamant plate body, games necklace, ring of dueling, and a adamant pickaxe. My friend and I got really curious, as we seen many different people with this same loadout, come out of Corporal beast. We did what anyone would have, and started killing them. It seems they were actually running full inventories of Pure Essence. Nothing too valuable, but the kicker was, every time we killed one of these bots, they came back (sometimes with-in 30sec or less!) and they would already have the platebody, pickaxe, and full inventory of essence. At a point, we actually felt that it had to be impossible for them to come back so quickly, but there they were..
Check out the mining bots in mlm there are so many some have like 108+ mining so its as if mining bots are just free to bot, they all have full mining outfit wear nothing but a skills neck and are to low level to wield a pickaxe but use a rune pickaxe at level 100+ mining. Theres like at least 2 of these bots online at all times on every world at mlm.
@@tttriple yeah I feel bad for EVscape. But that still doesn't change the fact that there's specific players who hugely affect the quality of life for the game in a good way who should receive something worth while.

Hey SirPugger - end of year video suggestion. I think it would be interesting & entertaining to see roughly how much botted gp you, your community & the Jagex team have come together over 2020 to get removed from the game we all love.
Question: Would it not be an easy task to find the main mule? You say they mule after every barrows run, so then is it not possible to simply follow them to whoever they trade?
@@JemmC89step 1: wait at barrows chest. 2. see the bot loot chest and he teleports. 3. You teleport to a random place, check if he's there. 4. He's not there? Telport back to barrows chest, and repeat cycle with different teleport spells until you finally see him at the teleport spot. For somone like pugger who is all investigator personality, this should not take too long.
Hey, SirPugger you probs will never read this but you should ask Jagex if they have ever considered adding a trading log it seems like for the majority of bot farms this would greatly damage offloading items. It would also allow them to find gold purchasers more easily.
probably well known but been training lately at nmz and there seems to be huge army of bots all wearing dragon med, chains and legs with random cape, whip/d longsword. once i had random event spawn on me while i was buying new run and they all tried to talk to it instantly
I want to be the first to say I merch on two f2p accs to pay for bonds on my Ironman and I thought the eggs dropped due to leagues so I bought 200k eggs for 400-420 gp ea and since the release of your video they’ve gone up to 520. I suspect with the lower amount coming into the game thanks to you they’ll keep going up to what they were and my f2p account will make 50-60m by putting an offer in. You’re the best for bringing it to light. You sped up and explained everything for me
That purple man I've seen before, I sent you an email about him before but didn't realise purple was something to mention 😂 The mules put there cash stacks on the table inside the room just above the silver light room inside the castle. They place the cash on the table north in the room and wait for it to become visible, then the main account can pick it up with no trade interface. Saw two maxed guys (one by table ready and one by the door to stop entry) and a purple low level a while ago. That table 100% is how they are trading between mules and the main accounts.
Those bots at barrows have been there since as early as February this year. I remember when I was getting my kc up for barrows I saw them there every day.
Not only would it help the Osrs economy but it’d make the game a lot less populated. More open worlds for slayer training, more open worlds for bandos lol, it’ll be a good time.
Ooh Ridge wallet, I actually have one of those. I have the black titanium one. For anyone considering it, I definitely recommend it. Its super sturdy and reliable, minimalist and conveniently small. I will say though the finish does scratch pretty easily, and I'd suggest getting the cash strap instead of the money clip as the clip can be quite sharp.
I see Jagex has finally succumbed to the Pugger and joined forces. It’s about time. I was beginning to think their ego was going to let them keep on pretending he didn’t exist.
So Jagex does not exercise data protection I take it? considering they tell you all about the account down to past offenses, items on the account, etc?
There is probly a botfarm running in blast furnes ore shop. Alot of different strange names account hopping around buying out coal on all worlds, exept skill totals and highrisk.
@sirpugger I report every single bot but eventually I have to clear out my ignore list. any suggestions? or am I just stuck having to clear the ignore list?
I just thought of an idea to catch bots early on in the game. Jagex should setup some kind of in game authentication test on tutorial island that constantly changes, maybe change the test every few days with a brand new test, so that these bots can get caught before doing any actual botting.
@@maxcamargo151 itd definitely have an impact, I think the key is to stop the bots on tutorial island before they hit the main game. They should focus there.
@@devonchipman6850 a tutorial island bot scipt literally takes less than 5 minutes. And then devs would have to redo it everday to even make an impact but we all know how little money they put into bot busting bc theyre taking away money from themselves
Ran into a red spider egg bot while doing the mini-quest in forthos dungeon not long ago, just reported and didn't fully compute it might be part of a farm
Long shot but i know you have contacts with Jagex mods, my alt was hijacked and used to bot, is there anyway i can contact them to reverse the ban? ive spent ALOT of time on it and its pretty shitty to see that they knew it was hijacked and still will not let me appeal the ban. Im just fortunate it wasnt on my 400+ hour main.
If you drop a rune item or similar value in ge you can see a bunch of bots that will instantly run towards it, its pretty fun to round them up, last night i saw a bout 20 is bots and some players running for it, you can clearly see who are bots since they all click it at the same time with inhumane reactions
Yep there are beggar bots at ge now too. They dance for gp, or stand in full adamant asking for free rune armour. Also party room bots, where 20 of them will click the same balloons at the same time.

@@thatplantmain6180 What? lol, I watched the full video. The video was uploaded like 35-40 minutes ago, I commented 10 minutes ago. I have my notification bell ticked thanks :D
@@KidzOnDidz hmm wacky the video said it was uploaded like 6minutes ago. I guess yt being wacky
Law of large numbers
Honestly just dropped a like because of how good that ad intro was
I was killing kraken while watching this video, I got the pet so I almost missed the video haha :P
Hey SirPugger - end of year video suggestion.
I think it would be interesting & entertaining to see roughly how much botted gp you, your community & the Jagex team have come together over 2020 to get removed from the game we all love.
Unsubscribed. Can’t believe you SNITCHED to jagex. Unforgivable.
Mmmm getting keen for that jagex holiday work break :3
Question: Would it not be an easy task to find the main mule? You say they mule after every barrows run, so then is it not possible to simply follow them to whoever they trade?
Follow them how ? Is there a Follow Teleported Player button/spell ?
@@JemmC89 simply waiting at every teleport spot until you find where he teleports to.
@@nervousboy1111 so he needs like 100 accounts ?
@@JemmC89step 1: wait at barrows chest. 2. see the bot loot chest and he teleports. 3. You teleport to a random place, check if he's there. 4. He's not there? Telport back to barrows chest, and repeat cycle with different teleport spells until you finally see him at the teleport spot. For somone like pugger who is all investigator personality, this should not take too long.
@@nervousboy1111 Surely they bank somewhere with a 1-click bank chest, CW etc. Could be possible but that's really Jagex's job.
Pugger ever think of a double or triplets mule which big brains do?
Btw I’ve been making money off RS for 14 years now it’s easy to make money off RS especially for pure/ quest accounts
Hey, SirPugger you probs will never read this but you should ask Jagex if they have ever considered adding a trading log it seems like for the majority of bot farms this would greatly damage offloading items. It would also allow them to find gold purchasers more easily.
I am addicted to these bot videos and idk why
probably well known but been training lately at nmz and there seems to be huge army of bots all wearing dragon med, chains and legs with random cape, whip/d longsword. once i had random event spawn on me while i was buying new run and they all tried to talk to it instantly
Anyone know the name of the soundtrack starting at 6:12 ?
I want to be the first to say I merch on two f2p accs to pay for bonds on my Ironman and I thought the eggs dropped due to leagues so I bought 200k eggs for 400-420 gp ea and since the release of your video they’ve gone up to 520. I suspect with the lower amount coming into the game thanks to you they’ll keep going up to what they were and my f2p account will make 50-60m by putting an offer in. You’re the best for bringing it to light. You sped up and explained everything for me
That purple man I've seen before, I sent you an email about him before but didn't realise purple was something to mention 😂
The mules put there cash stacks on the table inside the room just above the silver light room inside the castle.
They place the cash on the table north in the room and wait for it to become visible, then the main account can pick it up with no trade interface.
Saw two maxed guys (one by table ready and one by the door to stop entry) and a purple low level a while ago.
That table 100% is how they are trading between mules and the main accounts.
Free cash laying around where? Lmao
Those bots at barrows have been there since as early as February this year. I remember when I was getting my kc up for barrows I saw them there every day.
something about these kinds of osrs videos is very interesting. keep it up sirpugger!
Jagex needs to hire this guy, he’s probably got the best mindset for botbusting
Not only would it help the Osrs economy but it’d make the game a lot less populated. More open worlds for slayer training, more open worlds for bandos lol, it’ll be a good time.
Ooh Ridge wallet, I actually have one of those.
I have the black titanium one. For anyone considering it, I definitely recommend it. Its super sturdy and reliable, minimalist and conveniently small. I will say though the finish does scratch pretty easily, and I'd suggest getting the cash strap instead of the money clip as the clip can be quite sharp.
Sharp enough to cut my wrists?
You need to be hired by jagex to manage bots. The work you do is fantastic.
I love your sponsorship plugging style xD
Does the ridge wallet have 28 inventory spaces?
I see Jagex has finally succumbed to the Pugger and joined forces. It’s about time. I was beginning to think their ego was going to let them keep on pretending he didn’t exist.
So Jagex does not exercise data protection I take it? considering they tell you all about the account down to past offenses, items on the account, etc?
What is the name of the rs song he always plays in these vids
There is probly a botfarm running in blast furnes ore shop. Alot of different strange names account hopping around buying out coal on all worlds, exept skill totals and highrisk.
Anyone know what the bots that walk down port sarims doing? Saw some guy skywalker og or something and loads more. Really strange.
The level 25's all have 40 magic (tele to house) and 50 construction - could have something to do with it?
Plank making bots
@sirpugger I report every single bot but eventually I have to clear out my ignore list. any suggestions? or am I just stuck having to clear the ignore list?
theres a bot farm collecting mort myre fungus. west of fairy ring. almost every single world theres 2 bots in this spot.
Im currently growing avantoe and making super energies for gp and those bots keep taking my spots when I go bank >:(
awesome content brotha keep up the great work! get all these botters outta here :D
P.s. I always wondered what those low lvls at altar were doing lmao
I just thought of an idea to catch bots early on in the game. Jagex should setup some kind of in game authentication test on tutorial island that constantly changes, maybe change the test every few days with a brand new test, so that these bots can get caught before doing any actual botting.
Too much dev time for little outcome
@@maxcamargo151 itd definitely have an impact, I think the key is to stop the bots on tutorial island before they hit the main game. They should focus there.
@@devonchipman6850 a tutorial island bot scipt literally takes less than 5 minutes. And then devs would have to redo it everday to even make an impact but we all know how little money they put into bot busting bc theyre taking away money from themselves
i think its pretty cool that jagex tells you everything the bot has on them when they are banned
Probably one of your best videos!! 😀
Hey I tipped you off about these bots too !! They cross through ferox to use fountain same level and only prayer levels
Ran into a red spider egg bot while doing the mini-quest in forthos dungeon not long ago, just reported and didn't fully compute it might be part of a farm
The barrows bot farm mule might be a dude sitting in his POH with rejuvenation pool & barrows portal
probably not the mules house tho, that would be too easy to track. Prob just sitting in another accounts house
Hey @sirpugger there are mining bot farms in osrs f2p worlds at barbarian village, it's like 5 to ten ppl mining and one running to bank
Long shot but i know you have contacts with Jagex mods, my alt was hijacked and used to bot, is there anyway i can contact them to reverse the ban? ive spent ALOT of time on it and its pretty shitty to see that they knew it was hijacked and still will not let me appeal the ban. Im just fortunate it wasnt on my 400+ hour main.
If you drop a rune item or similar value in ge you can see a bunch of bots that will instantly run towards it, its pretty fun to round them up, last night i saw a bout 20 is bots and some players running for it, you can clearly see who are bots since they all click it at the same time with inhumane reactions
Yep there are beggar bots at ge now too. They dance for gp, or stand in full adamant asking for free rune armour. Also party room bots, where 20 of them will click the same balloons at the same time.
Hey, I really love your content and I want to start playing runescape but what do I do it in there? I know I have old account but I am not sure how to earn coins or getting better equipent.
Look up some videos
"my money's on the low level"
**proceeds to log out after losing bet**
I miss rs1. It was so popular in my highschool back in 2001-2002, because we weren't allowed to install outside programs on school computers, that several kids failed that year.
I just love every video you make 👍 keep doing them. They make my day
plot twist: Sir Pugger is actually using a bot to track down other botters.
The reason the bot farms are super active during early October and November is because of the twitch prime promo's
