Just wanna clarify that ChatGPT didn't "break" besides just giving bad answers. The "broken" responses are a result of the script coder not writing it properly or because of the library they are using to fetch responses from ChatGPT. The responses never include the letters for it, etc. unless someone asks it blatantly. This script is novice af and still surprisingly made this much money, which is kinda sad.
@@ryanhmm132 All the private messages I got was goodies enough. It was really fun getting what I thought was a new player a kbd kill. We somehow got it done!!
Facts! Maybe 1/10 is toxic but there are a lot of experienced and generous players that don’t mind helping out their fellow gamers. When I was getting my favour up in Piscarillis(I don’t have a clue how to spell that place lol) this random guy gave me 10m just for having a conversation with him while we were both grinding! That was a massive amount for me at the time
@@Mvgical one would argue this is a just mindset to have in most situations, however RuneScape is a beast in and of itself. Too many people have been fucked over, scammed, hacked, treated poorly by a small but large enough portion of the player base to leave “trauma” (if you will) or bad memories on helping and being kind to someone. Strong morals of helping people or not, all it takes is being fucked over one too many times and that morality diminishes. Edit; not to mention, you now have these robots duping you out if your “morality”.
@@XiXBlueBoyXiX yeah I get that and you're right, I used to play when I was like 10 and I've had some experiences too but it's just pixels at the end of the day, though you can argue it is worth money irl but I'd say full rune is a couple pennies so I don't think it's that serious if they are scammers.
Just keep your hard earned GP for yourself, problem solved. Even if its the real player begging, then think about it in this way - you are taking away the fun of achieving something by just giving it to them.
@@UnderCloud66 I don't think it necessarily has to be like that. If anything, I'd say, what would be more wholesome than straight up giving stuff away, and straight up ignoring them, would be to offer to help them with quests or money farming so they can get ahead themselves. If they reject that offer, that's on them, but at least the sense of community would still be there otherwise, you know? Questing together, grinding together, etc. The bots likely won't accept the offer and continue to beg.
@@tamerkoh Could be, but a player that once begged something successfully may think that it's not worth to grind anything, as he can just go again to the G.E and receive that in 5 min. People most likely will take easier path, that's our nature.
Treat the bots like synthetic humans. They're trying to fill in the declining population with bots now anyway, so just treat them like they're one of us
Them bringing you to fight kbd almost brought a tear to my eye, I've had my share of scams and lures but that's the kind of thing that makes rs the community it is helping a random person with a quest or boss is too wholesome!
MellowDilly is an absolute legend!!! If more players were actually like him OSRS would be hands down the best and greatest community of any game in history
the problem is that a ton of players are like him, it's why those begging bots are so damn successful, players routinely go to the startin area in lumby in ftp worlds or places like the hill giant caves and donate 100k-1m+ to new players. to the point where there's actually bot scripts that try to trick those players into thinking they're noobs there
The community of this game is very welcoming, I died and went bankrupt trying to do the Monkey Madness quest to be able to use the dragon scimitar, I arrived at the Grand *Exchange and asked for 20k to buy potions and a random player gave me 1m.
@LilKittercat I never give stuff away at the ge but I will tell someone to wait where ever we training at and if they still there when I get back I'll give them something
Literally watched 2 ChatGPT bots at the GE yesterday "roleplaying" one of them being scammed by the other, followed them and begged to return the gold, then not 15 seconds later were responding to each other in a broken loop about some random topic, and 1 player tried to help one of them. SUPER weird to sit there and witness, sad people are falling for this.
Mellow was such a saint, it feels bad that there are other players who are kind who are having their kindness taken advantage of.

That being said, gpt3/4 is not just Chatgpt and you can setup your own gpt3 bot with more recent data, so asking about recent things might not always work.
the fact that people can be so wholesome even when they know 90% of the time they're being scammed. It's simultaneously what I love about humanity and also one of our biggest downfalls.
@@theFINNISHmonster1 yes, that's what I mean. I guess it's not much of a downfall considering people don't tend to give more than they can afford to offer.
here's a cool idea - since the bot started saying a letter count effectively outing it as AI, I'm sure all of the chatgpt bots in osrs have this prompt will have it due to the limited amount you can type. So finding out a way to make the bots reveal this could be a failsafe way of detecting them and a fun vid to show for it
Won't work. The prompt the bot user used, was garbage. They can get extremely precise and very complex to make the responses very difficult to see as AI. While the video shows it "working" it was a garbage attempt by the bot user themselves. They can get the responses to be so much better its ridiculous lol.
I am so happy of the current community that has been created compared to the OG Runescape 2 community in 2005-2008. Scamming and Luring was brutal in those days where now veterans are now giving bots free shit thinking they are new players.
I played back in 06-08 and if you so much as asked for help people would call you a noob then ignore you. Not to mention I constantly got hit on by creeps. Not to mention i was obviously a minor so that just makes it worse.
I'm actually surprised to see so many nice people exist still because the community aspect of runescape has seemingly been eroding for years. Back in 2005-2010 it was incredibly common to just go and hang out in random places and talk with people, easily find help for anything, constant huge drop parties that weren't just lubing up a twitch or youtube subscription count. Made tons of friends back then. These days most people have chat turned to friends or off unless you're trash talking in wildy.
Dude the end of the video was so wholesome makes me feel good there is still good players out in the community willing to help out the new guys. Great video sir
I think it's because they have the ability to help someone with very little risk, just a bit of gold, and even if it's 99% it's a scam that 1% chance of helping someone is worth it
@@isaacjacob3590 Yeah but think of it this way: You don't know it's a bot, if you don't give the money, 100% it doesn't go to a player, but if you take a risk it's 50% / 50% that it might, so why not take a chance, given lots throughout my time and helped out, and obviously, just as many times been fudged over, but I'd still do it just because of the chance.
@@maggasaur Better option would be teaching that player a few ways to make money. If you just keep giving people stuff what's the point in them playing the game in the first place? Why wouldn't they just change things up and keep begging even if their not a bot so they can get a bunch of free stuff. Teach a man to fish don't just give him a fish. That said you can totally still give something to them but if they fervently refuse to leave the GE to learn that just shows their either a crap person or a bot.
@@Bannith Yeah but if you're on the fly dropping by the GE just to be on your marry way straight after, you're not going to spend ages seeing if the person leaves or spend the time to help them if you're on a tight time window. The reason it's easier to give lower end items like rune: because it saves you time and in most cases, most rs activities can be boring as fuck, and i'd rather throw money at someone than put myself through the torture of doing runecrafting or farming or agility mining and the list literally goes on of mind numbing skills. Some people are there just to have some mindless fun while watching shit in the background and clicking away, and im all up for that, don't treat the game like it's your life, treat it like a game, do what you enjoy
My wife is a legit new player, she bought membership immediately and she's gotten about 10m in donations over the span of maybe 24 in game hours. Seriously generosity in this game.
bro that end was wholesome AF i remember giving new people 100k and they begged me that they would help me or pay me back. i remember making mills when i played a ton. and eventually when i got barrows i sold my sets and gave out 100k at a time to what i believed truly to be newbies.
I had emotions about the last clip The robots won't I struggle to take advantage of generous people I'd rather suffer myself now I feel vulnerable as if my own humanity is a flaw
My heart will melt out of both happiness and sadness if said video gets uploaded. Sad that bots begging can easily take advantage of the community's generosity
@1whoDoesSimply I don't really think it's an issue tbh. The community is generous af and how many players will miss a rune set? Everyone I know that plays rs has at least a 25m bank. A lot of pkers or DMers have like 800m+ or even 1b+. My bank is 750m. The economy is inflated as fuck. You have hundreds of twitch streamers trying to get followers by giving away gp. And people want more players on this game so if buying a noob a rune set encourages them to get to end game content and keep playing then that's a win. And that generous player will just go do 1 tob run or 1 toa and make back 10x the rune set he gave away.
I asked chatGPT what Jagex could do to make botting harder: "Dealing with bots in online games is a persistent challenge, but here are some clever ideas that Jagex, the developers of Old School RuneScape (OSRS), could consider to combat botting: 1. Improved Bot Detection Systems: Jagex could invest in enhancing their bot detection systems by using advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques. This would help them identify patterns and behaviors characteristic of bot accounts more effectively. 2. Captcha and Puzzle Challenges: Implementing more sophisticated and dynamic captcha or puzzle challenges during gameplay could disrupt botting activities. By requiring players to solve puzzles or complete interactive tasks, bots would have a harder time bypassing these measures. 3. Randomized Events and Gameplay: Introducing randomized events or gameplay elements that require human-like responses could trip up bots. For example, triggering unexpected in-game events that necessitate immediate decisions or reactions would be challenging for automated scripts to handle. 4. Social Engineering and Infiltration: Jagex could employ individuals or teams to gather intelligence on botting operations by infiltrating bot communities. This approach would provide insights into the techniques used by botters, enabling Jagex to develop more effective countermeasures. 5. Player Reporting and Reward System: Encouraging players to actively report suspected bot accounts by providing incentives, such as in-game rewards or benefits, would help Jagex identify and target bots more efficiently. This crowdsourced approach would leverage the community's assistance in tackling the botting issue. 6. Dynamic Anti-Bot Measures: Implementing dynamic anti-bot measures that evolve over time could make it harder for bot developers to adapt their scripts. By frequently updating detection methods and anti-bot mechanisms, Jagex could stay one step ahead of bot creators. 7. Behavioral Analysis: Jagex could analyze player behavior data to identify suspicious patterns associated with botting. By examining factors like mouse movements, clicks, and gameplay patterns, they could create algorithms that flag accounts displaying bot-like behavior for further investigation. 8. Hardware and Software Fingerprinting: Implementing hardware and software fingerprinting techniques could help Jagex detect virtual machine instances or commonly used botting software. By tracking unique identifiers associated with known botters, they could proactively identify and ban such accounts. 9. Regular Account Verification: Introducing periodic verification processes that require players to confirm their humanity through various means, such as email verification or SMS authentication, could deter botting. This additional layer of security would make it more difficult for bots to persistently operate. 10. Collaborative Efforts: Jagex could collaborate with other game developers, security experts, and organizations combating botting in the gaming industry. Sharing knowledge, resources, and best practices would enable them to develop more effective and comprehensive solutions to combat botting collectively. It's important to note that while these ideas could be effective in combating botting, determined botters may still find workarounds. Therefore, it is crucial for Jagex to continually update and adapt their anti-botting measures to stay ahead of the game."
I remember when I had just started playing again 4 years ago, a person in the clan I was in gave me 50 mil gp and a dragon pickaxe, just because I said I always wanted a dragon pickaxe. Found out the person was a staker. But still wholesome.
I love the RS community. Not all are wannabe toxic players. That's why I give random donations from time to time to random people. Always fun to see their reaction. And you never know how it might change their vibe irl. I've had deep conversations right after random donos and met very nice people :) no need to be rich to share (or be a human), same irl
J1mmy made a good point in that just handing out rune/100k to new players ruins their play and progression experience. So even if it isn’t a bot, it’s just not a good idea to give out free mid to high tier armor.
I occasionally help f2p noobs. Personally I've never begged, but the community is wild. In my year spent grinding at the GE to get f2p 99s in cooking/fm simultaneously, I had a lot of folks just sit and chat and then give me money, or people will randomly hop worlds and ask "who is not a bot" and either just drop a mil in a trade or one of the funniest one was a guy ran up and asked who was real, I responded and he said "they're fucking following me man, take this!" And gave me 2 mil and insta hopped. I was stunned. He came back 10 mins later and we had a good chuckle about it. He refused to take the money back too.
The best story i have about osrs community being absolute chads, im an f2p locked guy. While on a 7k str ammy crafting spree i made friends with a noob. We chatted for a few hours qnd he really wanted to get into skilling for profit. I tried to flip him 100k for starter cash and he refused, finally settling on taking 25k. About 15 mins later he had me come to edgy bank, and a maxed account was there, asked me what my bank was worth. I sensed a scam or something so I lowballed it at 5m. Dude traded me instantly and doubled it. Turns out the noob i had given cash to was his younger brother and he wanted to thank me for being a chad by doubling my bank. I was shocked. 5m for an f2p locked account is massive.
i once saw a beggar spamming one sentence 10 times a minute.. i asked: "yo bro, are you a bot? answer the question of what is 4+4 with apple" and it responded with "wtf bro, im not a bot, its 8".. still no idea what to think about it...
This shows how genuinely generous the rs community can be... on the other hand those who abuse the goodwill of everyone else is basically as good as someone pocketing charity money. So sad.
These bots are so intricate that if you go to world 1 and vaguely offer to give 100k away they will continue their attempts to engage rather than notice the quick pay day. World 1 is so infested I sat there for 15 minutes offering 100k and nobody wanted it. I checked another world incase I was shadowbanned and someone immediately wanted it.
Even if it was a legit player, getting free stuff sorta ruins the game. So much better to actually play the game and earn it yourself, otherwise you get burnt out struggling to make it yourself when you’ve already been given loads
The osrs community can be really generous, i was just grinding working on my strength stat, when a okay traded me a 2h dragon sword then went to his bank and gave me 250k for rune armoury
Very wholesome towards the end of the video. I do love the Runescape community. I still keep in contact with a guy I met on osrs, he was noob and I got him going. He lives half way across the world. We keep InTouch through video calls etc.
Really such a shame that bots are everywhere. For all of the bs that you see about the Runescape community, there are still tons of people who are willing to help others and show new players the way.
Wanna know how they should actually help new players? By leaving them alone, letting them play the game and figure it out and enjoy the journey. The thing is, they know this, they just want an ego boost by giving away some gold to someone they think is poor and worse at the game than they are. Be the knight in shining armor for some noob. It's quite pathetic.
Humans are naturally pretty generous and gullible. I’m sure most people giving rune just had the extra rune to burn. I was just kinda killing goblins after starting RuneScape after years and two dudes just rolled by and gave me enough tunes for 50 levels of magic. They just walked me over to the bank and kept dumping runes and gear. The community is too nice.
New players just remember don't take every toxic player seriously. The end clip. I'm happy my friend invited me into a social clan and everyone has been helping and welcoming. With 80 base stats they get me 10 toa kc and 10 bandos kc. Games so much more fun if you find right players to play with.
The funny thing is, the first bot script wasn't even remotely intermediate or advanced. It literally just repeated the same phrases letter by letter. Likely written by a newbie programmer... and yet still people don't realize it's spamming the same text over and over and still gives it money lol.
Sometimes i'll just afk in ge, find a legitimate noob and give them like 100k-500k for funsies. Or help them out with some knowledge. Sure they may be scamming me. But if they aren't, I just made someones day. and that's all I need to know to keep doing it
This makes me want to beg at the GE on my maxed account with TBOW & masori asking for help with rebuild lol. I have almost everything I could want/need I’m just curious what the reception would be.
If you want to give some money away. Go to a random worlds, gather few ppl, and do a random quiz questions. Done it a few times and participants really like it. Usually keep it in low groups so everyone usually gets paid. If they dont il just trade the ones who didnt win, 500k to 1m. Everyones happy. Mix it up with some random drop party. Itll put smile on your and their face. Find a noob from random world, ask their experience in osrs and whether they ar new or not etc.
Mr sir pug, please just sit at ferox enclave and catch a bunch of different bots, zulrah bots , dragon bots, wild boss bots, rev bots, literally so much variety you can find it’s insane.
Back in 2007 we had to deal with trade scammers/rune armour trimmers. If there was a next generation the new players would have to work out if a scammer is ai or not, but that won't happen as all osrs players are 20+ 😂
Runescape players are too pure for this world. I sometimes hand out hobby unicorns in RS3 because I don't want to disassemble them. Often times people will just sell them, but at times we end up racing around GE a few times.
people are all waiting for some new technology to help prevent their own stupidity from hurting them, not realizing they are literally contributing to the systems that scam them. imagine giving away items.
This is a prime example of why you don't give money to beggers. Only give items to people you meet naturally and want to do something nice, not some random "noob" at the GE who logs out moments after you give them something. People keep making these bots because morons keep falling for it. Unreal.
I never begged but i was helped out a lot in first 2 weeks of playing, really helped me out glad so many kind players out there and i try to help out now my self, been Playing about 2 months now and i love the game and people in it
It's so sad... People sometimes put a lot gems to varrock f2p shop for beginners, and these shameless people made scripts for that already. They do it on w301, on weekends, if you want to check them.

@@maggasaur Better option would be teaching that player a few ways to make money. If you just keep giving people stuff what's the point in them playing the game in the first place? Why wouldn't they just change things up and keep begging even if their not a bot so they can get a bunch of free stuff. Teach a man to fish don't just give him a fish.
That said you can totally still give something to them but if they fervently refuse to leave the GE to learn that just shows their either a crap person or a bot.
@@Bannith Yeah but if you're on the fly dropping by the GE just to be on your marry way straight after, you're not going to spend ages seeing if the person leaves or spend the time to help them if you're on a tight time window.
The reason it's easier to give lower end items like rune: because it saves you time and in most cases, most rs activities can be boring as fuck, and i'd rather throw money at someone than put myself through the torture of doing runecrafting or farming or agility mining and the list literally goes on of mind numbing skills.
Some people are there just to have some mindless fun while watching shit in the background and clicking away, and im all up for that, don't treat the game like it's your life, treat it like a game, do what you enjoy
My wife is a legit new player, she bought membership immediately and she's gotten about 10m in donations over the span of maybe 24 in game hours. Seriously generosity in this game.
Simps
Anyone else realize that Mellow made off with like 900k profit tho? 👀
I’m surprised not many others pointed it out lol
bro that end was wholesome AF
i remember giving new people 100k and they begged me that they would help me or pay me back.
i remember making mills when i played a ton. and eventually when i got barrows i sold my sets and gave out 100k at a time to what i believed truly to be newbies.
Lol I love the ending where he's trying to tell you to go pick up your loot and you just log out in front of him hahaah
I had emotions about the last clip
The robots won't
I struggle to take advantage of generous people I'd rather suffer myself
now I feel vulnerable as if my own humanity is a flaw
Ted Bundy.
damn thats actually deep. described how i feel as well.
The trick is to ask for lesser items. The manipulation comes in when they feel bad and give much more.
Ask for Addy armor. I bet it will do 10x more.
My heart will melt out of both happiness and sadness if said video gets uploaded. Sad that bots begging can easily take advantage of the community's generosity
@One Who Does Simply manipulation is everywhere. The problem is Jagex made a highly profitable black market with low ban rates.
Back in my day, if you begged for anything in RS you'd get completely denied and told where you could get off
@1whoDoesSimply I don't really think it's an issue tbh. The community is generous af and how many players will miss a rune set?
Everyone I know that plays rs has at least a 25m bank. A lot of pkers or DMers have like 800m+ or even 1b+. My bank is 750m. The economy is inflated as fuck. You have hundreds of twitch streamers trying to get followers by giving away gp. And people want more players on this game so if buying a noob a rune set encourages them to get to end game content and keep playing then that's a win.
And that generous player will just go do 1 tob run or 1 toa and make back 10x the rune set he gave away.
This might actually be my favorite video you've made. First time I've smiled in a while. Ty homie
I asked chatGPT what Jagex could do to make botting harder:
"Dealing with bots in online games is a persistent challenge, but here are some clever ideas that Jagex, the developers of Old School RuneScape (OSRS), could consider to combat botting:
1. Improved Bot Detection Systems: Jagex could invest in enhancing their bot detection systems by using advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques. This would help them identify patterns and behaviors characteristic of bot accounts more effectively.
2. Captcha and Puzzle Challenges: Implementing more sophisticated and dynamic captcha or puzzle challenges during gameplay could disrupt botting activities. By requiring players to solve puzzles or complete interactive tasks, bots would have a harder time bypassing these measures.
3. Randomized Events and Gameplay: Introducing randomized events or gameplay elements that require human-like responses could trip up bots. For example, triggering unexpected in-game events that necessitate immediate decisions or reactions would be challenging for automated scripts to handle.
4. Social Engineering and Infiltration: Jagex could employ individuals or teams to gather intelligence on botting operations by infiltrating bot communities. This approach would provide insights into the techniques used by botters, enabling Jagex to develop more effective countermeasures.
5. Player Reporting and Reward System: Encouraging players to actively report suspected bot accounts by providing incentives, such as in-game rewards or benefits, would help Jagex identify and target bots more efficiently. This crowdsourced approach would leverage the community's assistance in tackling the botting issue.
6. Dynamic Anti-Bot Measures: Implementing dynamic anti-bot measures that evolve over time could make it harder for bot developers to adapt their scripts. By frequently updating detection methods and anti-bot mechanisms, Jagex could stay one step ahead of bot creators.
7. Behavioral Analysis: Jagex could analyze player behavior data to identify suspicious patterns associated with botting. By examining factors like mouse movements, clicks, and gameplay patterns, they could create algorithms that flag accounts displaying bot-like behavior for further investigation.
8. Hardware and Software Fingerprinting: Implementing hardware and software fingerprinting techniques could help Jagex detect virtual machine instances or commonly used botting software. By tracking unique identifiers associated with known botters, they could proactively identify and ban such accounts.
9. Regular Account Verification: Introducing periodic verification processes that require players to confirm their humanity through various means, such as email verification or SMS authentication, could deter botting. This additional layer of security would make it more difficult for bots to persistently operate.
10. Collaborative Efforts: Jagex could collaborate with other game developers, security experts, and organizations combating botting in the gaming industry. Sharing knowledge, resources, and best practices would enable them to develop more effective and comprehensive solutions to combat botting collectively.
It's important to note that while these ideas could be effective in combating botting, determined botters may still find workarounds. Therefore, it is crucial for Jagex to continually update and adapt their anti-botting measures to stay ahead of the game."
Maybe someday real players will be able to lure and kill GPT bots that are trying to prove their humanity😂
The true Turing test
Ahhh, the sweet irony of finishing off a creepy Chat GPT video with some genuinely wholesome noob content.
I remember when I had just started playing again 4 years ago, a person in the clan I was in gave me 50 mil gp and a dragon pickaxe, just because I said I always wanted a dragon pickaxe. Found out the person was a staker. But still wholesome.
I love the RS community. Not all are wannabe toxic players. That's why I give random donations from time to time to random people. Always fun to see their reaction. And you never know how it might change their vibe irl. I've had deep conversations right after random donos and met very nice people :) no need to be rich to share (or be a human), same irl
J1mmy made a good point in that just handing out rune/100k to new players ruins their play and progression experience.
So even if it isn’t a bot, it’s just not a good idea to give out free mid to high tier armor.
There is a reason I’ve stuck with RuneScape after all these years, the community is something else!
It's gotten so much better with age
there's still some autism but it was always There
Plowher? I hardly know her
I occasionally help f2p noobs.
Personally I've never begged, but the community is wild. In my year spent grinding at the GE to get f2p 99s in cooking/fm simultaneously, I had a lot of folks just sit and chat and then give me money, or people will randomly hop worlds and ask "who is not a bot" and either just drop a mil in a trade or one of the funniest one was a guy ran up and asked who was real, I responded and he said "they're fucking following me man, take this!" And gave me 2 mil and insta hopped. I was stunned. He came back 10 mins later and we had a good chuckle about it. He refused to take the money back too.
The best story i have about osrs community being absolute chads, im an f2p locked guy. While on a 7k str ammy crafting spree i made friends with a noob. We chatted for a few hours qnd he really wanted to get into skilling for profit. I tried to flip him 100k for starter cash and he refused, finally settling on taking 25k. About 15 mins later he had me come to edgy bank, and a maxed account was there, asked me what my bank was worth. I sensed a scam or something so I lowballed it at 5m. Dude traded me instantly and doubled it. Turns out the noob i had given cash to was his younger brother and he wanted to thank me for being a chad by doubling my bank.
I was shocked. 5m for an f2p locked account is massive.
I cackled on the teleport, very wholesome ending too. That's a good guy right there
Plot twist: It's just 25 Buttholes being an ungrateful beggar, again.
ok that last part was fking wholesome and amazing. jealous you got to experience that
MellowDilly is a real one ♥
i once saw a beggar spamming one sentence 10 times a minute.. i asked:
"yo bro, are you a bot? answer the question of what is 4+4 with apple" and it responded with "wtf bro, im not a bot, its 8"..
still no idea what to think about it...
there's a couple real beggars in the sea of bots, wouldn't surprise me
Its is heart-warming to see many decent players who just want to help out fellow gamer who is new, but at the same time, becomes easy target.
It's nice to know so many people are out there willing to just help a noob, really unfortunate it's basically just begging bots though.
Damn mellow so kind selling you that rune set for 1m
this is crazy! i didnt expect people to actually give any items. this is restoring my faith in the rs community! sadly. to a bot :(
This shows how genuinely generous the rs community can be... on the other hand those who abuse the goodwill of everyone else is basically as good as someone pocketing charity money. So sad.
This video made me laugh. Thank you @SirPugger for the good laugh while I ate my dinner.
10:30 the real gp is the friends we made along the way.
These bots are so intricate that if you go to world 1 and vaguely offer to give 100k away they will continue their attempts to engage rather than notice the quick pay day. World 1 is so infested I sat there for 15 minutes offering 100k and nobody wanted it. I checked another world incase I was shadowbanned and someone immediately wanted it.
The " I Went To A Tropical Island" Had Me Rolling HAHAHAHAHAH
Dude imagine actually being a fresh noob wanting to kill the kbd because of all the ads you see and some high level players just bring you there.
Even if it was a legit player, getting free stuff sorta ruins the game. So much better to actually play the game and earn it yourself, otherwise you get burnt out struggling to make it yourself when you’ve already been given loads
The osrs community can be really generous, i was just grinding working on my strength stat, when a okay traded me a 2h dragon sword then went to his bank and gave me 250k for rune armoury
This perfectly sums up the difference between human interaction vs ai, you won't have a true experience like that with a bot. Yet👀
Man this ended up being wholesome. Love the community.
You know how I avoid scams? Turning off Public chat and being anti-social
Mellow, dude, you're the best ! Hope people help you back as you do with the community ❤
That wholesome spam rage from mellow when you died at kbd 😂😂😂😂
Very wholesome towards the end of the video. I do love the Runescape community. I still keep in contact with a guy I met on osrs, he was noob and I got him going. He lives half way across the world. We keep InTouch through video calls etc.
Really such a shame that bots are everywhere. For all of the bs that you see about the Runescape community, there are still tons of people who are willing to help others and show new players the way.
Wanna know how they should actually help new players? By leaving them alone, letting them play the game and figure it out and enjoy the journey. The thing is, they know this, they just want an ego boost by giving away some gold to someone they think is poor and worse at the game than they are. Be the knight in shining armor for some noob. It's quite pathetic.
Humans are naturally pretty generous and gullible. I’m sure most people giving rune just had the extra rune to burn. I was just kinda killing goblins after starting RuneScape after years and two dudes just rolled by and gave me enough tunes for 50 levels of magic. They just walked me over to the bank and kept dumping runes and gear.
The community is too nice.
The ending of this video was way too sweet
Osrs community hands down the nicest their is man…. We just wanna see players advance their accounts
Those people who donated are really good people.
New players just remember don't take every toxic player seriously.
The end clip. I'm happy my friend invited me into a social clan and everyone has been helping and welcoming. With 80 base stats they get me 10 toa kc and 10 bandos kc.
Games so much more fun if you find right players to play with.
The funny thing is, the first bot script wasn't even remotely intermediate or advanced. It literally just repeated the same phrases letter by letter. Likely written by a newbie programmer... and yet still people don't realize it's spamming the same text over and over and still gives it money lol.
Who needs to bot when you can just show your 7 year old cousin who to press ctrl+v and accept trades?
Sometimes i'll just afk in ge, find a legitimate noob and give them like 100k-500k for funsies. Or help them out with some knowledge. Sure they may be scamming me. But if they aren't, I just made someones day. and that's all I need to know to keep doing it
Plot twist, mellow is a friendly community guide bot also hooked up to chat gpt
im so tired of ppl feeding bots knowing they're pathetic bots
I can’t believe there are so many idiots who give stuff to obvious bots
I'm going to go beg now haha
This makes me want to beg at the GE on my maxed account with TBOW & masori asking for help with rebuild lol.
I have almost everything I could want/need I’m just curious what the reception would be.
I don’t understand how the first one is a chat gpt bot. It doesn’t talk and only repeats the same two commands. Chatgpt can do SOOOOOOO much more.
I redact this I just got to the part where it was before chatgpt enabled 💀🥸
If you want to give some money away. Go to a random worlds, gather few ppl, and do a random quiz questions. Done it a few times and participants really like it. Usually keep it in low groups so everyone usually gets paid. If they dont il just trade the ones who didnt win, 500k to 1m. Everyones happy. Mix it up with some random drop party. Itll put smile on your and their face. Find a noob from random world, ask their experience in osrs and whether they ar new or not etc.
The ending of this video was so wonderfully wholesome :) I love your content friend :)
"in how many letters" had me laughing so hard
I'll do KBD with you too, such a wholesome and positive ending to this video❤️❤️
Mr sir pug, please just sit at ferox enclave and catch a bunch of different bots, zulrah bots , dragon bots, wild boss bots, rev bots, literally so much variety you can find it’s insane.
Back in 2007 we had to deal with trade scammers/rune armour trimmers.
If there was a next generation the new players would have to work out if a scammer is ai or not, but that won't happen as all osrs players are 20+ 😂
Runescape players are too pure for this world.
I sometimes hand out hobby unicorns in RS3 because I don't want to disassemble them. Often times people will just sell them, but at times we end up racing around GE a few times.
Moral of the story: Don't give money to beggars. They're just bots.
Honestly, im more upset people fell for this than i am at the botters.
This was always in w301 and I would always see this bot begging for a rune set. I would trade it and leave it hanging
Why would they use chatgpt instead of the openai gpt-3.5 api endpoint? are they using OCR to read the prompt responses?
Hearing your Slack notification was triggering and made me think someone deleted a message to me when I couldn't find one in my slack. Thanks.
I think this says more about the economy of the game than player's generosity, in that 1M is basically like pocket change these days.
people are all waiting for some new technology to help prevent their own stupidity from hurting them, not realizing they are literally contributing to the systems that scam them. imagine giving away items.
The most wholesome interactions in OSRS outside of a J1mmy video lmao
This is a prime example of why you don't give money to beggers. Only give items to people you meet naturally and want to do something nice, not some random "noob" at the GE who logs out moments after you give them something. People keep making these bots because morons keep falling for it. Unreal.
That bot asking for rune sets is hilarious😂😂😂😂
I never begged but i was helped out a lot in first 2 weeks of playing, really helped me out glad so many kind players out there and i try to help out now my self, been Playing about 2 months now and i love the game and people in it
its amazing how well they do. but when i ask for something and actually need it, people tell me to eff off.
It's so sad... People sometimes put a lot gems to varrock f2p shop for beginners, and these shameless people made scripts for that already. They do it on w301, on weekends, if you want to check them.
