Runescape Bots Discussion

Their are many bots out there for runescape I will be here with unbiased views on all of the bots that I have used.  Let's start with Nexus,

Nexus

http://www.rsbots.net

Nexus is a closed source bot which generally has some free scripts so new users can get use to the client.  Most nexus bots are updated fast and require you to pay for a life-time auth.  I myself have purchased several nexus bots, AutoFisherPro,AutoMinerPro ect. and have no complaints at all over them.  A growing debate in the nexus community is that they fix the randoms, this is currently the only downside, for some reason nexus can't manage to fix the random events while free bots such as powebot (listed below) can do them just fine most of the time.  Nexus also has many re-seller sites in which bot scripts are taken and re-named and sold on another created site for more money so that they can pay Nexus the script writer and make a profit themselves.  The best way to get a nexus bot is to buy from the creators website.  Although the creator often does not have a website you can always contact them onsite or on-forum and discuss the issue with them.

Powerbot

http://www.powerbot.org

Powerbot is a free and open sourced bot that has been here since 04 and was the first ever runescape bot (as far as I know).  Powerbot, previously known as "RSbot" has already been sued once by Jagex Ltd and was forced to be bought by Gold4RS in order to keep online and free.  Powerbot has recently started a contract with nexus in order to sell nexus bots to make a profit, they have also transfered all links on the site to "linkbucks" which causes an annoying intermission ad when you click a link.  Although they are free they have also added a advertisement to automatically open upon bot start-up, this causes me to believe that the bot is going downhill and is in it for the money.

RSBuddy and Alike

http://www.rsbuddy.com

Rsbuddy is a closed source program that much mimics the nexus client, all of these sites have contracts with the nexus company in order to use their client.  These websites often produce and sell their own scripts based off the nexus client and try to make a profit.  RSBuddy is just one of many websites that are doing this.
