Welcome!

I'll be honest, the price is a balancing act in a few different ways.

Most importantly, I want to note that *average* luck on rare drops, the bot currently makes 2.5-3m/h (especially if you disable breaks it's closer to 3m/h+), which is between $0.50-$0.75/h worth of gold if you sold it all at current prices.

I understand before rare drops are achieved it can be ~1.5-2m/h, but even without rare drops you're still at least breaking even/making a small profit. And then every Enhanced seed makes you $20-25+ worth of gold in a single drop.

If you have *above* average luck, your profit/h can really be anything.

So largely the price is balanced around the average 2.5-3m/h still granting a large profit.

Also it's the most popular bot atm, so botters are finding value it seems

Honestly I'm not against lowering it, but lowering the price of the most popular (arguably most profitable) bot devalues the work of all other bot authors (especially bossing bots) by undercutting

I don't think CG should be less than Bandos or Sara or Vork (it's already less than Phosani) as CG is more complicated and arguably more profitable

Also finally I'm concerned about lowering the price more & the bot being used *even more* by lots of gold farmers and running the bot into the ground. If too many people start using it, Jagex may pay more attention to it. Right now the ban risk seems very low and I don't want it to grow.

Tbh I've heard of more people getting banned RWT gold on RM in the past month than bans from this bot

Anyway, bit of a long reply (and sorry I had to reply in so many messages, the character limit on these is annoying).

I will think about it some more and I'll keep an eye on gold prices etc because obviously I don't want this to be a rip off. But I don't really think it's too unfair currently.

Just wanted to share my thoughts.

One bug I found recently is that the bot runs slow if your scroll wheel is locked (as it wastes time trying to zoom out). If your "use scroll wheel to zoom out" is disabled in osrs settings, enable it

Runelite with your current plugins saved, for using when not botting). You may choose to keep some on like GPU/FPS/Worldhop/Loot.
- Keep DirectInput & Hopping Mouse on, and/or have Runemate's mouse speed set to 3x (in Runemate settings).
- Ensure reasonable FPS (30fps+), Ping (50ms-), and CPU/RAM usage aren't spiking too much. You may consider closing other programs.

It's apparently possible for an Antivirus to throttle Runemate, so consider disabling it temporarily if you have a 3rd party one.

if you scroll through his feed a couple posts you will see everything i just copy and pasted that @CuppaJava said to another person who asked the same question for the same reason.

literally got nothing to do with what i just said mate lay the jay down @MrBlazinHerbs

Shoot him a DM. Best i can say bud. I literally copy and pasted what he said to someone who asked for the price to be dropped.

Hey @hqxassassin, a few people have requested this before, but one-time-payments/licences aren't really supported by Runemate, as the whole system is built around an hourly structure. So there's not really any good way for me to support this honestly. Sorry man.

@CuppaJava mate even pausing the bot still charges you lost like $1.20 just because of the buggy client still taking cash and when you stop you get charged every time starting whole things a con will be looking somewhere else

@hqxassassin I can't change the way Runemate's transaction system works. It's out of my hands that Runemate charges when a bot is started & each hour after. It's out of my hands that Runemate charges while paused. All I can do is make my code as robust as I'm able to, to minimize issues requiring restarting/pausing

I'm sorry if you don't consider it worth it, or if Runemate's system is giving issues.

@CuppaJava release a cg bot where you dont have to use runemate $0.20 an hour is just astronomicale for an osrs bot and you lose more money in the client not working then anything I mean you still get your cash so thats all what matters I guess

your bot does 7an hour you die twice , so your getting like 5/6 runs for $0.20 an hour do the math no where near i worked it out roughly it cost you $65 dollars per 400 runs giving that you do 5/6 an hour and fail the rest tell me how this is reasonable priced mate and I'd love to hear
