So I was just curious because I spent countless hours botting on my old main in Old School and it never got banned until I set my fishing bot off and fell asleep (LOL) woke up and I was banned. (That was about a year ago)
Just recently got back into OSRS and started botting on my level 72 account, it was a member, and it got banned within the day. Has jagex got some super anti bot now or something?
If jagex wants to ban you they can make up any reason, sometimes they dont need a reason to. You should ask yourself does jagex loves you or hates?
If it hates then try doing something different than you used to. For example before double xp weekend before last big ban wave i thanked jagex in ban appeals and now constantly doing so for letting me run accounts so long before bans because its beneficial to all of us.
If you constantly insulting jagex it can make up reason and ban you. Sometimes they just are so pissed up that ban every accout you used in your computer no matter if it was months ago or you did actually botted. Sometimes they troll you to a such level as happened recently to one my friend who got banwave on all his accounts lately, so started new, made fresh account, got 29 hunting and before started actually bot got banned ingame live action haha…even through i was rofling i feel sorry for him, but such actions of jagex are just hilarious. Aparently jagex was mad because before banwave he runned like more than half a year that farm without bans.
About their system, i think they can pretty much detect any bot within like 10k cycles/trips whatever but thats also random and have no idea why, some bots running same script survives 5days some 6 months and still botting, but average is around 3-4 weeks atleast for me. Well if babysitting it might be way longer lifetime because most of the time bots were somewhat stuck in loops or whole shift on certain pc was lost cause one of whole shift got stuck. And all in all i tend to lose shifts, for example whole night shift, or whole day shift (have 4 shifts). Seems maybe they scan(maybe manual banning) heavily at some places at certain times and you in a wrong place at a wrong time then gg. Also getting some rare but random bans of 1 acc, but thats probably script messed up. When runned less bots used to film screen and found out like close to 100% bans were cause of script failures. Like 10 minutes messing up for example at seeing game update sign is enough in rs3,last time bots didnt recognized and didnt logged out update sign whole shift got banned, even through they all terminated within 10 mins. Also was accidients with updates 2months ago where srl incude login() used to click wrong button, got huge ban wave by then 11/12acc imediately 12th after 2 weeks.
