A 10 day ban? I see the user disabled message expecting to have to go looking for an appeal and all I get is a 10 day ban. It's not the best account ever, only 2 stats over 90 (93 range 93 mage) but worth having. I was expecting banning but just wanted to have a go anyways =P. FYI I was auto alching!

I just got a 10 day ban on a resonably good account, 82 smithing, 91 mining, I was making cannon balls. :-) Oh well, the risks we take!

They seem to be much more lenient towards autoing these days. I have a pure with 98 mage and 97 ranged that got banned twice in a month and a half. Both of which were only 10 day bans. I dont plan on taking anymore chances however…

Exactly. I just had two F2P guys perm banned for macroing a couple of weeks ago. And they were in a 6 player rotation (other 4 didn't get banned O_o) so it wasn't like I was autoing with them too much. I'm guessing I got reported on those 2.

I got a 10 day ban for auto alching today, its my 2nd 10 day ban for breaking rule 7, last time i got it when using Hy's cave runner. This time i was expecting the worst, but got reliefed when i saw the 10 day text. This happened on my barrows "pure", 99 str (autoed), 90 att (legit), 70 def, 90 mage (74-90 autoed in a couple of days).

The simple repeating tasks they catch you fairly easily… I'm on my 5th 10 day ban… I've been auto smelt/cball making in a very remote place. Its just too easy to auto I think. …But yeah 5th 10 day ban.

Woot got a 10 day BAN on my main today for Breaking Rule 7.
(91 att, 99 str, 88 def)
Thats what you get i suppose when your player comes accross 3 Mods in 5 minutes.
Going to kool off with the running of Scripts and make a couple instead…

I was in my house so nobody could see me and I was not alching 24/7 I was only using it about 10-12 hours a day (alot but like I said, only test account so not bothered about it getting banned).

Sure was :p
I don't blame it on the script, I forgot to check it sometimes and so it would run out of alchs and click all over the place, totally my fault lol plus I was running it for quite long stints, your script worked great and I only need to do about 25 mins of alching and I will have gone from 67-94 with your script in about 7 days of using it =P.

MOUSE RECORDER! lol that's terrible. If I got an account of someone I disliked and wanted to get them banned, that is what I'd use! :duh:

Well…My account was F2P got unbanned, also I had a F2P account which got a ten day ban. But maybe that was because it was a members before.

If you macro 12 hours a day, once in a month, then it's obvious, that you won't get banned.

I was wondering about that….If an F2P account had been a member before would it get a 10 day or a perm ban for autoing.

Anybody else had a situation like that?

How many players does runescape have these days? 8 Million registered accounts? Well guys there are 10,000 if not 5,000 autoers out of all of them. I wouldn't care that much either especially since the 5,000 can not really effect anyone else…

At least that is how I see it.

12hours in day time isn't really too much, consider the fact some times I played WAY more than that lol

I havent autoed at all in like 2 years. The main account i used to auto was just banned a few weeks ago. Wow jagex, no offense, but ur kinda slow lol.

Im surprised u only got 10 day ban. Maybe Jagex is too desperate for players…

2008-10-12 22:26:27

I just appealed on one of my accounts with this:


As I said in my previous appeal, I don't see how people macro and get a 10 da
y ban and 0.5 black marks, where as I macro and get a full permanent ban. No
warnings at all.

All I can say is I'm sorry, I think this is a little unfair, and If you give
me a chance to prove myself again, I won't let you down. I promise.


And it was successful…. Wtf…

My main (which sucks) I played legit until I found out about bots =D. I never made it a mem, I just wanted to be a rich noob without investing any money in it. My first ban was a 5 blackmark ban of 10 days, 2nd and 3rd were also 10 day bans, now it has 92 wc and I am not going to auto on it anymore.

days and got a 10 day ban ^^

Lol…. Dishonorable for srl..?

Tell it to my pure that I ran for 4 days straight usiong Hy's caverunner (Didn't get banned for that, but when I ran my curser 8 hours straight, I got a 10 day ban with 0.5 blackmarks).

What's the point of macroing if you don't want to level fast?

All of my f2p accounts that have been banned were permanently banned after one breaking of rule 7. Never once has a f2p of mine been giving another chance. My members accounts on the other hand have been giving up to four ten day bans and then finally a permanent ban. Perhaps I am just unlucky when it comes to f2p accounts. :mad:

And I would say 10+ hours a day is a bit of overkill. I typically aim for 3-4 hours (looks like a 'normal' amount of game time) for Monday-Friday and then maybe 5 hours or so on Saturday and then an extra two at night. I mean, you have to think, it is kind of obvious if you have a player playing for 8+ hours at a time, who can do that? Especially with the repetition runescape requires. Click…click….click….click….8 hours?!?! Come on! Bust your brain trying to high alch for that long in one sitting!

At least I would :eek:

Hmm, that's a first. I've never heard of someone in F2P get just a 10-day ban, or has that account been a member before?

All F2p accounts get perm-bans :p All P2p accounts get 10-day bans (with the exception of the vikrant60's and those that were F2P but were members before).

I think their new generosities coming from the lack of members. After they made the 3k trade limit and took away pking, the last thing they want to do is lose anymore revenue. You're running an online fantasy game Andrew Gower not a government. I think this is also the reason for the shop they've opened and the new membership cards.

When I used to use scar the most was 8 hours every night for a week or two. 80 hours in a week is huge lol, good job.

80 hours a week? That's quite a lot of time autoing, surprised you only got a 10 day ban, my account got a perm ban a while back.
