The only systems I know of that take exponentially longer to solve than to verify are made to prevent email spam. Unfortunately, they wouldn't work for RuneScape because while email spammers can't handle several seconds of computation per email, a RuneScape bot could easily handle a few seconds of extra computation that only happened occasionally.
Is there
any system that can be generated and verified by computers but not solved by them? Captchas aren't going to work very well because there's a line of 0 width between unreadable and easily solvable. The only way to create a puzzle a computer can't solve would be to have it be created by something other than a computer, which wouldn't work with the large number of bots.
