The Botany Bay update sure will be a handful.

At least their demo image was a realistic representation of what would happen in-game live.
Botany bay is still a god-fucking-awful idea though.
Botany bay is useless in itself.
The bot busting power that comes with it is, in theory, much needed.
Why am I imagining Lag, Lag everywhere as soon as the bots come back...
I'm imagining lag before that already, the monitoring will make it lag for sure.
Are Botany Bay and Prime being launched at the same time?
I didn't think so... I thought Botany Bay was just going to be a way to show players how many bots are being banned to silence those who are like "JAGEX NEVER BANS ANY BOTS CUZ BOTS R PAYING CUSTOMERS AND I STILL C BOTS SO OBVS NO BOTS WERE EVER BANND."
I just hate when people think that no bots are being banned because they see the same bots over and over again. THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL.
Botany Bay will serve a fine purpose, if you ask me.
The only real purpose it seems to be serving is freeing up Jmods so they don't have to do ridiculous bot-busting events.
If it works out and I'm wrong, hey, all to the best. But I have a feeling that people will turn on it assuming they'd see an impact with this system.
Damn it, I was waiting for this update so i could go down to the Sorceress' Garden and post this knee slapper.
