Bot store space is nothing.Not really, it just clogs bot-store space
IMO competition is great. Improves the quality of scripts because of competitive script writing. Also, space as in large files? I don't understand how notepad files can take up a lot of space.Not really, it just clogs bot-store space
Competition?
Competition is good, of course... competition might improve the bot a bit. But imo that little bit of improvement isn't worth it when there are plenty of other useful projects to undertake.
I feel like no one reads my posts.
No, we're not forcing bot authors to make something they don't want to. We're asking with curiosity why in the world do they want to write something that's already written (well)?Your argument is valid, and I agree. But removing the ability for scriptwriters to upload what they've created and want to share with the community seems foolish to me. Also why would you force scriptwriters to make something they don't want to?
I currently can't think of one I have written that does not surpass other scripts by their features. But I get your point@Savior
Of course there's no contract. But why would you to write a bot that someone else has already written (and which works well)? If the already written one was crappy, then that's a different story. In this case, however, many of the bots aren't crappy.

THANK YOU! Someone who understands.I feel like no one reads my posts.
NO, space as in the bot store space with like 5 freaking scripts of the same kind showing up, and no diversity. You are missing the entire point, no where did i say they shouldn't write their own bots. I said that there shouldn't be 5 freaking divination bots on the store just because you don't think one of them works properly and rather than reporting the bug, say, "Fuck this, i'm going to upload my own".IMO competition is great.

Not being able to write the scripts people want to seems rather idiotic to me.
I've got plans for a fletcher soon, and I already have a working private firemaker but there's no way I'm going to put aside personal projects (both real life, cause we have those too ya know, and RuneMate) when the way I get approached about it seems to be a complaining post.Got bloody 5 div scripts and 6 rc scripts but we don't even have a working fletcher or firemaker.
Scripters please put personal projects aside and make things we need.
inb4 we code myself but I work 3 jobs. If you want to try to teach me, be happy to learn. Just got fuck all time.
Will be encourage diversity? Yes.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with competition. To be honest i wouldn't give two shits if there were 50 of the same bot in the store. BUT i think the important hidden message in here is that we're lacking in certain areas and those bots should be taken care of BEFORE everyone goes off making duplicates of existing bots.
Bot store space is nothing.
I don't personally have a problem with extra competition. The only thing I'm worried about is the community's need, which is diversity. I completely understand why people would write their own version of an existing bot (and if you write it, you might as well publish it), but I do think we've reached a point here where we should really look more into what other people want. I get PMs daily with requests for bots that aren't available in the store, and easily achievable for the average bot writer here.
If you're referring to my new Runespan bot with "NOT RUNECRAFTING", it was one of those bots that was requested quite a bit. People wanted a well working Runespan bot that did more than the average one (island hopping, floor changing, runesphere), so I took the advice, even though there are already 2 Runespan bots out there, I didn't know how well they function and users didn't seem satisfied with them.
tl;dr:
Start working on cool original stuff people, if you think you can't make it, ask the dev chat for help. I'm sure not just me, but also many other are willing to help you (I won't spoonfeed you though).
Gimme dat Firemaking bot fgt.I've got plans for a fletcher soon, and I already have a working private firemaker but there's no way I'm going to put aside personal projects (both real life, cause we have those too ya know, and RuneMate) when the way I get approached about it seems to be a complaining post.
If the bot doesn't work, it will be removed.There should be a greater variety when it comes to bots. However, keep in mind that the bot authors need to keep their bots updated, and if they lack the motivation to do so (like forcing them to work on projects they don't want to), then the quality is going to suck. As a result of that, a vicious circle of complaints will occur.
Tl;dr: be a m8 and make new intriguing bots pls
