Your sample size is very small. Also could you link me to your sources about those things? I haven't seen any official information about botwatch other than using "hotspots" to focus attention.
Yes I remember seeing the same thing of Jagex stating in which areas specifically the Botwatch was being tested in. The last I heard of an officially announced location was the Dungeoneering place, whatever that is called.

I'm talking about RS3, so we're on the same page with that right? I know that superuser got banned in RS3 because there is no divination skill in OSR (yet :p)
My point was that you were stating that camera movements were a big part of the bot detection system, yet you had no proof that this was the case and you were just making a speculation.
This is probably not the place for this discussion though.
He wasn't specific in the OP but apparently the question pertains to OSRS so point in listing examples in RS3. Also your logic is correct, while I strongly agree with Demise's statement on camera activity being a likely factor in bot detection, there is absolutely
no proof and
no one outside of the Jagex team can know this for sure, so of course it's only theory & opinion, no matter how strongly one believes in it.

Get a job with Fagex and look at the code if you want to know specifics of the bowatch program. Agree that this is not the proper thread for this so I am done.
That would be the only way to know for sure, yes? We can only try to look at it from their point of view and adjust accordingly to stay under the radar; logic and common sense is far underrated when it comes to macroing.
Also, I'm so tired of people calling them "Fagex". This is stupid and immature and really pisses me off. If it weren't for this team of developers there wouldn't be a game to begin with, infact there might not have been a good enough reason to make a solid community such as SRL or SCAR's community had that game never existed. Show them some respect and cut out this BS name-calling…

Ive ran 15 accounts, 20hrs/day For 3 months straight. Never moving camera, doing the same 4 clicks in a row, and repeating, never once did i get banned.
-throws logic out the window-
It's a good sign that the most commonly used factors in bot-detection exclude small routines like that. With that knowledge we can assume they use other methods. From what I've seen manual bans seem to be the most potent in OSRS.
