Have you ever heard about Runescape Autominer's or Runescape Powerminer's? Basically, both of these are computer programs that will take control of your mouse and mine rocks in Runescape. It's a tad scary to think that some strange program will have full control over your mouse, isn't it? However, you always take a risk when trying to cheat. Ok, let's not stray from our main subject, Runescape Autominers.

Runescape Autominers can look very useful, but in reality, they usually never work. Runescape Autominers can get your account banned from the game, they could contain a keylogger (which is a virus that "logs" every key that you type.) designed to steal your Runescape name and password. Yet people still use them. If you find one that actually does what it's suppose to do, which is very unlikely, how long do you think you could go on without being banned? I have heard from some people that after fifty hours of playing Runescape straight, you get an automatic ban. I am not sure if this is true or not, as I have never been awake for fifty hours straight. If this is true, it's a smart move on their part. People will turn these Runescape Autominers on and leave the computer for days. Then when they are ready to take over, they will have a high mining level and a lot of ore stored in their bank.

So why don't they get banned? Well a lot of times they do. You see, usually people will get these programs, make other accounts and turn on the programs. Then they will have a bunch of accounts that will say... level 50 mining at the exact same time, and then they can illegally sell those account for real money. Which is bad to the illegal buyer, because most likely the account is getting banned soon anyway.

Are you wondering why you have not seen one of these Runescape Autominers? Well, most likely you have without even knowing it. If you see a level 3 player doing something continuously, then it means one of two things. It's a pure or an autoer. A pure is an account that someone makes that is "pure" something. Such as A pure miner, a pure woodcutter, a pure mage, so on so fourth. Sometimes people will make these pure using auoters as well. If they don't talk to you, a lot of times they are macros. (Macros are the same as autoer, bot, so on...) Nevertheless, not always. Sometimes when people have a certain level they want to achieve, they will turn off their chat so they can concentrate on one thing. Don't go reporting people until you know for sure!

Runescape Autominers can be useful, as any hack, cheat, bot, glitch, and so fourth can be. However, the gains you get from them are not usually as great as the losses. Say you powermine for just an hour. Just to see if you like it. Then you come back in an hour and you have been banned! All you wanted to do was see what it was, and you lost your account. Is it really worth loosing an account over? No cheat is worth that. If you really want to use a Runescape Autominer, then a simple Google search would bring some up. Nevertheless, I do not in any way support this form of playing. I think its wrong to those who work for what they have, it is cheating, and its plain out lazy! How would you feel if you worked for a year to get something, and a person got it by cheating? I do not know how it would make you feel, but I would be pretty darn mad.

Happy Playing, and be safe!
