Led 12 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 So free users should get 200 hours a month to bot with free scripts. VIP removes all time limits. Premium scripts could be offered by monthly buy-in or charged by the hour (up to the author) but would have a higher house fee for the monthly buy-in because these options wouldn’t count against a free user’s hours. Premium scripts charged by the hour also do not count against a free user’s 200 free hours that month. You would also have VIP scripts that are essentially just free runtime because of the way this system works. This would be your main pull to sell VIP. you can work out whatever prices you’d think is fair for it but I think this model for scripts would be a better system and more fair to the free users.

Moderators Dan 49 Posted November 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2020 What happens when nobody’s bought vip and everyone runs out of free hours? We just send away all our customers to someone else’s bot... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to be a greedy walker of the Red Sea then that’s your choice but hardly anyone even bots 200 hours a month besides hardcore that don’t use just one client.

Swatarianess 12 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Runemate do this, its a good model, although get ready for constant complaints about running out of hours. Also, people will try to bypass the limit by creating multiple accounts lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toma 46 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It should be that VIP removes session running time limit (like before), and also gives access to some additional (moneymaking) scripts so people can't abuse them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, SW's need an incentive to put their scripts in VIP, unless it's just standard rules like if it's a money maker for example. Previously, if it was a decent script, the SW would push for premium, but could only do that with a user base and with the majority of users NOT having VIP, it then made no sense for the SW to put it in VIP. Not only that but the SW still got nothing from VIP even if a user decided to buy VIP to use their script. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just came here to this old thread to say this: I've been botting well over 200 hours a month (for the past couple months). Hadn't played in years prior, and got bored and wanted to write some scripts again/see how far I would get. I don't suicide bot (due to lack of $/supplies), I only use my own scripts that I make locally for the specific tasks I want, and I don't do dumb bot-like tasks like spinning flax. I would say I bot at least 12 hours a day, some days much more. Some days less if I'm afk for restock etc. Got a couple 99s already and some good progress on the account in general Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curious to see if the recent client changes have made a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only have 1 account, so no haven't experience any bans. Have noticed some random issues w/ the client mouse interactions ie. Opening bank at castle wars, tends to misclick it a lot and walks next to it which looks pretty sus, especially w/ conditional sleeps after it to wait for bank to open (although I can make mine better to handle this). Also trying to use food on fire with someone standing on it (it doesn't try to right click the fire, but clicks to use food on the player) etc. I haven't been keeping up w/ client or rs for quite some time, but assume these cases are handled by the client. Most part everything is pretty straight though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should join the discord 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Led 12 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Okay but that means it would sell with that model @Dad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JunkMale 3 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Vip scripters could receive some form of profit share similar to YT or like? If there's 1k VIP @ $10/mo =$10k/mo maybe 50% shared with VIP script writers based on user base. I believe this would also attract a fair number of script writers to have that guaranteed VIP income Quote Link to post Share on other sites
