Just curious, as one of my scripts got two accounts stuck on an infinite loop (spam clicking the banner in the lobby, opening up a bunch of tabs). This was over a month and a half ago, and I am surprised that such obvious botting behavior has not gotten me banned yet (*knocks on wood… let's not jinx this!*)
Obviously this could have been luck, but then I skimmed through the threads for most of the popular scripts in RS3 public, and almost all of the "i got banned due to this script" comments were older than ~two months. This got me wondering… has Jagex pretty much stopped banning bots in RS3? Even most of the recent banned posts in this subforum are from OSRS.
Any recent rs3 bans would dispel my hunch; so if you were recently banned on rs3, or know someone who was, please do tell. :)

I had some bans a couple days ago, but I was getting a ton of reports most likely. If you don't get reported you'll probably be fine.

The last ban that i got was about a couple months ago. Very rarely do my accounts get banned.
I also do not think that Jagex has stopped banning people, but I think (and am not 100% sure) that they realized that a large percentage of the players of the game are bots, and if they remove those, then their game is going to go downhill…

Well they made that mistake at least once already.

Even if i had multiple times 24h login spammclicking and some advertisement clicking(Just some cause made failsafes for that). I think i am again over a month no single ban. Lately ban rates are ridiculously low past 4-5 months.

What were you doing, just leveling it normally? I'm thinking of doing divination next as one of my last skills to max.

No bans for me, only one reset, like 2 or 3 years ago. And even that wasn't from any of SRL scripts, it was from a bot using reflection. This is the safest thing and people who say are getting banned are either false posts or they don't know how to do it properly in order not to get caught.

One of my accounts had been banned with 20m+ hunting xp yesterday but was running past 2months around 12-16h a day atleast all time swamp lizzards so kind of suicided it. Was lvl 6 or so in cmb lol, no other skills. Still have accounts with better achievements. Hopefully someone will get lvl 120 next year :)

My main got banned think I had 2300 total with a maxed OSRS account as well. Lost around 500m gp in RS3 and maybe 50m gp on OSRS. That was almost a year ago no bans since :) Found an old account lying around in October started botting it using only SRL and have went from 1400 total level to 2100 total level with no bans! Not too bad :)
I remember when accounts with pre-set names like 34gloryfish were on the first page of the hunter highscores with 200m XP.
They must be really cracking down if they won't let you get past 20m xp now haha :p

my last ban was August 2013 on a throw away, since then I've actively started training & botting my main but had no bans since (luckily :D), now trying to bot 120 fm :')

Lost 4 more goldfarmers today. They were expendable, but setting up new ones is still a pain.

How?! :*(
Two of them somehow didn't get banned in the first round, but there's no way Jagex didn't flag them. I'm guessing they were waiting to see if they would stop or maybe they were trying to catch my mules. I honestly have no idea but I knew they wouldn't last long.
