Another batch of friends left...

The botting epidemic is really starting to take it's toll on my friends list. More & more vetran players are walking off because of the damage the bots are doing to the game. I can't say I blame them. You get a slayer asignment like blue dragons, go to the caves under the Feldip Hills to kills some & there are 50 bots running about killing them where you can't get one. The other skills suffer as well, higher leveled trees & mining spots are being swarmed by bots as well & this is in P2P. I'd hate to see what F2P looks like. Fortunantly I have the levels & skills to be able to avoid most of the bots but my lower leveled friends are left competing against them & are burning out because of it. Personally I find it amusing to find ways to kill the bots. What's your take on the situation? Should Jagex have brought back free trade since it's removal was what regulated this problem?
