Runescape Hacks and Runescape Cheats Trending Down
I have been recently delving into the minds of some players from the dark side of Runescape (Moparscape Usage)and I have been doing some research on search trends and I was surprised to find that the number of players searching for Runescape hacks has been fairly consistent over the last four years, though is starting to trend down a little, but over the last 18 months the number of people searching for Runescape cheats has been distinctly trending down:
An interesting question that arises from these figures is, why are these search terms going against the general trend of the game, which has been going from strength to strength in recent years? Is it that players have begun to realise that there aren’t any really good Runescape cheats out there? Or are they are learning that using Runescape cheats will get you banned? Yet that doesn’t explain why players are searching for Runescape hacks at a fairly consistent rate when most players should have worked out by now that information on how to hack Runescape or how to hack Runescape characters is pretty much non-existent on the web.
The only theory that I can think of that partially justifies the downward trend of players searching for Runescape cheats and Runescape hacks is that it would appear in recent times players have refined their search terms when looking for ways to cheat Runescape, searching more often with terms like Runescape bots and for a Runescape auto which are more accurate to what they are actually after. These terms over the last 12 months have been trending up if anything:
With that said it is really interesting to note the distinct drop in the number of searches Runescape auto right before New Years 2008. I wonder if this has anything to do with the new trade restrictions or if this was just a natural flucation in the serach statistics that seems to happen around Christmas and New Years. What do you think?

Jagex has been very aggressive in stopping cheaters. I think their hard work is paying off. The GE and limits on unbalanced trades have gone a long way to stop real-world-trading.
