Jagex can't do anything about autoers, they will always come out of nowhere.
They are programmed to do evey random in there task last agent said..
If they fail at a random which i doubt they will simply log out and log in on another acc with a similar name.

Perhaps...but there are a lot of ways to deter people from using macros...one being make the macro too much work. Macros rely on patterns..that can be easily programmed. All RS has to do is have the sandwich lady have, say 30 different options that are interchangable. Then do that for all the random...add more options that don't always show up. Then change what that randoms say, keeping the same meaning of course, but still making it so the macro doesn't recognize it. The language thing has worked will and if Jagex opens up somemore of those they can definately compartmentalize the randoms. Jagex should also have more skiller player mods...in F2P especially because I see macros all the time 10 or 12 to a tree. Lastly, more server updates. Things that break the macro program beyond the game...say an "update" every night at 2:00 A.M., when most macros are working and most cheaters are asleep (2:00 AM my time I guess as that is when the updates usually are.)
If macroers have to spend 1, 2, or 5 hours a day updating there program or resetting it...all of a sudden it doesn't look as appealing as the 5 minutes they used to have to spend ever four days. Also, putting some lvl 30-40 monsters on some of the yew places would definately keep the 3-5 lvl macroers out...one hit and they are done...chances are if they have to train combat on top of wcing...they will fold too much work.
But Jagex won't do this...and I'll tell you why. Macroers keep the prices of needed items down for members. That is the truth...if the demand for yews was at it is with just real players...the price of yews would be 400-600 easy, and above game integrity in Jagex's line of work, is money...and that is why we have 10-12 macroers to one tree in draynor in a F2P world...
They could...and quite easily could I might add...but they won't.
