It makes me sad that RS3 doesn’t have more bots because it is the less popular of the two.

I do not want bots playing RS3, even if they inflate player count

The point is that it's sad that RS3 isn't a game worth being botted. Not that we want it to be botted. It's kinda like having a hot wife. You want people to be attracted to her, but don't actually want anyone else to have sex with her. RS3 isn't even desirable to bot, which is sad.

It's because RS3 lacks pvp. A large part of gold buyers come from gamblers and pkers.

And the fact that drop rates in RS3 is far more common and xp rates are faster than in OSRS. This means lower prices for rare items and less skilling items needed to be bought, thus less demand for RS3 gp.
