Editing RuneScape (section)

===Macro problems===
For several years, RuneScape was plagued with hordes of automated bots at many non-combat training sites. Gold farmers were behind these, either repeatedly training the accounts themselves for the resources, or using automated programs doing the work for them. Once several million coins were summed up, they would then be illegally sold to players too lazy to make the money themselves, sometimes resulting in the buying player getting in enough trouble for them to get permanently banned nine times over.

Besides the [[macro]]s being a pest to the players, some gold farmers would steal credit card numbers and use them to pay for membership for their bots, which got Jagex in some legal trouble.

With the removal of the PvP aspect of the Wilderness (as stated above) and many other changes, unnecessarily uneven trades (e.g.: buying a piece of thread for 50,000 coins; giving another player several million coins for nothing) could be impossible, thus stopping real-world item traders in their tracks, while many other popular MMORPGs are still plagued with [[bot]]s.
