As you might have heard, there are many rumors going around about RSBot.
Many of them are not true, but are spread by other bot developers which don't like the fact that RSBot is free of use.
Some rumors listed and explained:
Reflection or byte code editing
Byte code editing means, modifying the source of runescape, so that you can control everything it does and sees. This way you can fully control what Jagex is allowed to know about you.
Reflection means that you read info from the client, without modifying it. Which means you don't have complete control over what Jagex does and sees.
RSBot uses byte code editing to read things of the client, this is much faster then using reflection. Jagex does NOT detect this, if they wanted to do that, they have to modify the client and I would see it and circumvent it.
We are constantly checking the client to see if it tries to detect RSBot this way and they are not doing this.
Loader
RSBot uses a custom loader, which does basically the same as Jagex' one, except it loads our own classes and stuff like that. Jagex does NOT detect this and if they wanted to I would see it and circumvent it.
All bots act the same
As you might have seen before, some bots happen to do exactly the same every time making it very suspicious. This is not the mistake of RSBot, it's the mistake of the person creating the script. This also happens on other bots. Script writers should make sure paths are randomized, actions are randomized. Don't always pick the closest object etc.
Mouse
Some people say the mouse of RSBot is very detectable, this is not true. We are constantly trying to make the mouse look as human as possible. Jagex does log your mouse movements, but they are not likely to be processed unless you are reported and even if they are processed it would be nearly impossible to identify it as a bot. It's more meant to look if the mouse is jumping around and if you move it in straight lines etc.
Anti-ban
Anti-ban should be handled by scripts, cause scripts know when it's not interacting with anything. It would look very weird if you keep checking your mining experience while fletching right. A script know what it does, and should implement anti-ban.
But why do I get banned
Anyone cheating risks being banned, it doesn't matter which bot you use. However you can minimize the risks, if you follow the following tips you have a much higher chance of surviving:
Bot responsible, don't bot for to long, play legit once in a while, don't bot every day but sometimes just play legit for like a week. Don't bot overnight and play at day, cause that would look like you are playing 24 hours a day which isn't normal is it.
Also do not turn of the break handler, it's there to make you look as human like as possible. If you cheat for like 30 hours without a break, you are just asking to get banned.
Vary what you bot, if you bot mining from 1-85 the chances that you get banned are huge, cause almost nobody does that. If you would smith sometimes, wood cut sometimes etc it will look more like normal people.
Play legit once in a while, do some quests, talk with people etc. It will help a lot, to keep you unbanned.
Vary scripts, if you alway use the same script it might look suspicious after a while, try to find scripts that have advanced anti ban features and tries to randomize stuff. If a script hasn't got much randomization, the chances are much higher to get you banned.
RSBot scripts
You guys got to keep in mind that free RSBot scripts are used way more than paid ones. They are usually poorly coded by beginners. When somebody releases something for free it's great, but you can't always expect it to be the best. Paid RSBot scripts, verified ones atleast, are of a higher quality than paid scripts for others bots. RSBot has way more advanced features than other bots out there and most of our elite scripters spend countless hours and days scripting. Our paid scripts are usually even cheaper!
If someone happens to report to and Jagex actively watches your account it, there's an increased chance of getting banned. This happens on all bots and is something you can't do much about, except trying to minimize the chance that somebody reports you in the first place
Always remember there is a small chance of getting banned, however that chance applies to all bots. RSBot is no exception, except we don't lie about it.
I was going to use rsbot for a while since reflections down, and i love reflection. And i saw this.
