Over the course of the last 6-7 years, the emergence of MMORPG’s and online gaming has been immense. Many many games have come out, and while some became very successful, others ended up becoming wasted money. Either way, the games that did survive the initial onslaught of bad reviews and criticisms by skeptics became a battleground for players. Everyone is racing and battling to reach the top. Some form guilds to help each other, others grind all day and night to reach their goals. As you can see, this becomes a very painful task. Imagine wanting to reach level 80 in world of warcraft, but yet you feel like it takes forever. How about when you want to buy that party hat or new third age armor?

Don’t worry, its crossed all our minds at one point or another. So do hacks and dupes really exist? I know from personal knowledge that less than a year ago, botting was a very prevalent.  Players began looking for RuneScape cheats or RuneScape hacks. Some did have luck cheating in games such as RuneScape, which lead to even bigger ambitions, you can read about an example in our other article about the dark side of runescape cheating. Let me say that bots did in fact exist at one point, but now selling gold in RuneScape is nearly impossible. All the major runescape gold sellers have now shut down, but this cost jagex many many players.

There are however legitimitate ways to leveling up and obtaining items, many players began to look for RuneScape tips, RuneScape money guides, RuneScape quest guides. Many of these players prevailed and these are the types of players that didn’t get banned. So to sum up this article, bots and dupes DID exist at one point.
