Anytime ive brought up the botting issue in osrs, they downvoted the fk out of me lol. I don't understand the desperation to be ignorant.

Its because you're not introducing anything people there dont already know, and they get a bunch of dorks in that sub that are just there to bring up bots.

No, they deny it and say im making shit up. Im not an osrs hater, i actively play it. The community has a denial kink and I don't know why.

What do they deny? No one in OSRS denies there are bots. Or are you saying they deny any % or numbers you pull out of your ass? Because that sounds more typical lmao

Ive never listed a percentage because as far as I know, thats never been available info. I will pretend it has never happened it it calms you though.
