RSBot & Powerbot Shut Down by Jagex - Dismas - 10-10-2020
Jagex recently eliminated the 2 largest botting websites. The number of banned accounts is pretty shocking and macroing will likely become inexistent.
Quote:We are pleased to inform you that, following legal proceedings, RSBot, and the Powerbot website, will be shut down, and permanently closed by midnight on 3rd October 2020.
We take a zero-tolerance approach, both in and out of game, with bot users, developers and gold sellers. Simply put, we will never tolerate cheating in our games.
Today’s success follows on from our removal of the Arcus & Bogla Gold selling sites in 2019.

Better late than never, I guess. RSBot and PowerBot may have been the most sizably voluminous RuneScape botting websites, but their users plummeted over the years, as they ceased running bots on RuneScape 3 after the game ceased utilizing Java, and their ban rate on Old School RuneScape was astronomically high compare to other RuneScape bots.

Not sure how I missed this thread. But thank you for the extra insight. I imagine there are other bot services that are more popular now.

RuneMate, TriBot, and DreamBot. I am unsure which is the most populated out of the 3, but they are the biggest RuneScape bot names in the scene currently.

Powerbot/RSBot were definitely the older ones. It's not nearly as common anymore after they swapped off of Java, as you said.
