Arenanet isn’t the only one throwing cheaters overboard tied to a cement block. In a post released yesterday, the developer announced that users of a bot script would be logging in to find themselves permanently banned, among them long-time players:
As part of our ongoing war on botting, we continue to take action against those confirmed to be using a bot script. Just yesterday we banned a large number of bot users, including a number of maximum level players.
Additionally, in the same announcement Jagex detailed bans for an exploit in the recently released God Statues update which allowed players to generate a massive quantity of experience very quickly. Aside from banning the accounts that took part in the exploit, Jagex commented that they have also banned the alternate accounts of those same players.
