Random Events were introduced to stop macroning, as Jagex believed that it would stop an auto-er because of the the clicking involved and the required human effort to complete the event. This is a great idea from Jagex, however sometimes they can be really annoying, for example, a swarm off bees which cannot be hit (you must run away), but other times you can get rewards such as clothing and coins. Unfortunately, they have not really stopped macroing, but they have limited the amount of afk (away from keyboard) players and many players enjoy collecting the various items associated with random events. Some events, such as "Dr Ford", have been removed after complaints.
