What kind of "code" do the auto programs use?
Maybe if Jagex knew what type of code it is they can make some kind of firewall that relates with Runescape. And that would clear out a lot of the auto'rs that bought or downloaded the program off the net. But it would leave some because of the people that know how to make the auto program.
I'm not sure if thats possible but its worth a try

Delphi Pascal is quite popular, in terms of programming language. I know someone who used to help code these things, never used them, but he's stopped even helping them now.
Despite the fact Jagex say they find it very easy to find these things, it really isnt. Their applet cant scan whats using the mouse or whatever, its impossible (well, actually it isnt, but to be able to do that Jagex would have to resort to spyware).
The kind of thing jagex relies on is the repetitive clicking on one particular pixel over and over or something like that, but auto-programs get more and more advanced and skip round blocks like that by making it so the auto program uses a small area, just like a real human would, rather than one pixel.
Jagex will never be able to stop the autoer problem, really. Programs just get more and more advanced, skipping past techniques Jagex use and everything.
Pure ess, in my opinion, was a badly thought out idea to control an idea Jagex cant control through programming. Controlling macroers through programming is impossible, because they just update. You need humans to control these things, and human control. Pure ess slowed the macorers a bit, but like always, the programs were just modified to compensate.

That's the problem with autoing software. You can think, they can't.
Very true. And thats exactly the point. We need HUMANS to stop the autoer problem, not crappy little scraps of code. Gold-crown mods need to be playing more often. We need more p-mods. Abuse reports need to be acted upon immediately.

Exactly.
