Yup pretty much. There’s a large percentage of the community botting. Most of the bot builders have forked RuneLite to add custom scripts for automating tasks.

Jagex has made some improvements to their bot detection mostly through detecting if you’re playing on an “approved” build of RuneLite (the primary repo) in the past year or so, but this method went undetected for so long that many have maxed their accounts.

I don't think its accurate to say a large percentage of the community is botting. My understanding is that the overwhelming majority of the botting is by organised groups making money out of selling the gold they make.

I think a large percentage of the community is buying botted gold, but random people botting to get 99 mining or runecrafting or whatever is relatively rare (and relatively sucessfully detected) compared to gold farms.
