SRL Archive - Bot Information and Spottings

Luso-Brazilian 10Years Jagex's Party and someone asked Mod Turtle about The mass ban, he confirmed. Proof above:


Translate Portuguese/English:
Corno: 'There's 30k accounts verified about botting'
Corno: 'and all account will get perm ban?'
Mod Turtle: 'Exactly.'

-Zybez

Well yeah, of course…pretty sure I'm gonna lose my two mains (rares, 99's and stuff from botting) :p, Easy come, easy go.
Also lol'd at "Mod Turtle"

They mentioned mass ban at RuneFest too.

Yah I have not botted my pure account much lately. Just here and there on my main. Honestly I dont care if they reset/ban my account. I know a lot more things on how to train fast and make money then I did pre-07.

TBH it's obvious , that they will ban soon since this huge update is about to arrive.

Bring it on

lol there goes like 5 of my accounts :p

How do you know?

Time to get yet another new main in I guess..
They already banned most of my other accounts so the loss won't be too big :)

I doubt most of us will be banned. If you go by that mod's number, 30,000 is probably only enough to hit like 20% of accounts that have used rsbot.

How do you know?

I have been botting quite insanely to try and keep up on SRL stats :/ haha oh well :)

ssssst

^ same, the game was dead to me until I saw the re-release coming :) but hey, we can always rebuild what we lose :P

Come at me bro

My brothers account that got rolled back just got hit with the ban hammer. He used all or most Rsbot.

From: cycrosism
Come at me bro

Jersey Shore <3333

Hehe.. let's see if they can hit all of my <~80 wc, fm, smith accounts ;)

i wouldn't be surprised if it was just a scare.

[QUOTE=Camaro';769330]i wouldn't be surprised if it was just a scare.

Since the mod in the screenshot claims they'll be banning 30k accounts, it sounds like that's all it is. That may put a dent in the RSBot population, but certainly not all botters as a whole.

Edit: Came back to my account today to find he had been in Prison Pete for about an hour. I have a sinking feeling that he's good as gone.

Won't get banned, been botting during a few previous mass bans shit just doesnt concern me

^ I've always botted, and not been banned through these 'mass bans', and their I've managed to survive every new 'uber sick bot detection system' they've put in place. Bot sensibly, and you're fine.

I've been getting a random every hour :/ but that is with cooking, I am changing the skill to fishing to detect whether I am flagged or not :) otherwise goodbye my account haha I will post a picture of it, if it gets banned :p

Randoms come about every 150-250k experience. So it's no doubt you would get a lot cooking since it's one of the fastest skills.

If you were around for the bonus EXP weekend you would quite well remember getting like 3 randoms in 15 minutes lol.

I can almost promise you all that 90-95% of these flagged accounts are the idiots using java-bots and modified clients, aka RsBot/Powerbot, Kbot, ect…

nebody know when the banning will happen roughly?

ran msi for 25 hours got 1 random. cutting magics

They average out to that.

And magics are really slow experience so that's no surprise either.

yeah was only 400k exp i didn't even think about that.

well I take it back, I doubt I am flagged. I can fish for about 5-6 hours without getting a single random so I am all good :)

From: Furyan

Java bots are extremely detectable, Scar/Simba doesn't even compare.

Here's a link to give an explanation of why these are so detectable, this doesn't give "all" the reason, but very good points are suggested here.

http://www.rune-server.org/official-runescape/runescape-underground/276209-warning-all-botters.html

Infact, I suggest people here read this as well, while it may have nothing to do with a color-based program like Scar and Simba, it states good reasons why you shouldn't follow the crowd and use such "ban-able" programs.

When you move your character around a lot and train different skills I think you're a lot less likely to get banned. ;)

yeah its good :) within the last month I have trained, fishing, cooking, smithing and range

Good news for me, I botted range for 11 hours today (finally 40) and only got 1 random (Certer). This likely means I wasn't flagged for failing the Prison Pete one.

iBot/Nexus uses color right? Cause i've botted so much with scar/simba/iBot-heavily-and have not gotten banned once. However I botted with Rsbot and got banned…

I use powerbot and have been for many years am I am not banned so stfu Flight

Individual cases of getting banned with A and not with B don't mean anything. Even 1000 cases isn't the whole story, it's not that simple. Unless every single account that uses a bot for a significant amount of time gets banned (let's see what new tricks jagex has), then it's probably more to do with the includes/scripts/users rather than the technique the bot used.

Then you're in for an unpleasant surprise. Btw, Powerbot = Rsbot.

@kingarabian:
iBot, for one, is something I've not even heard of, Nexus I've heard some things about but if what you're saying is true about them being color bots then yes they're much less likely to get you banned.

Guys you have to consider that its not the bot itself thats the problem. Most bans come from the scripts not the bot that initializes them.

So speaking of Rsbot/Powerbot, they have a lot of skiddies attempting to make scripts. A lot of them are indeed shitty.

The best bot would be a bot that can use JaGeX's client.

And OpenGL bot could do this

Halp kent minimiez

Zyt3x, does Scar/Simba not use Jagex's client? It simply grabs and specifies the client screen, so how's that modifying?

What about S.M.A.R.T. though, I thought that was an unedited client using just reflection, which as I've heard has nothing to do with editing the client itself?

From: kongking

My best guess would be anytime between now and February 1. They want to kill all of the bot accounts before opening free-trade again, I'm sure.

I was perusing RSBot's site earlier, and I noticed that almost all of the scrips posted there (a good 85% at least) are tagged either [Perfect], [Flawless], or [Undetectable] in the topic title. Some of them use more than one of those tags.

I really hope their arrogance is their downfall. Not sure how you guys feel about the RSBotters here, but if they are caught during the impending mass ban I can tell you I won't miss them. I know I'm generalizing when I say this, but most of them are complete a**holes, both on their site and in-game.

Edit: Their site mods and script developers, I mean. Can't speak to their leechers, mostly because there's just so many of 'em -_-

I know this. I was using rsbot long ago, and all my accounts. (Almost 2 years ago) on my army. It was just most of the scar scripts I used here were either outdated or didn't work, when I used rsbot it worked ok, some scripts stuff up but I don't use it that often. Maybe like a couple of hours a day?

If I get banned it wont take me that long to make a new account and bot that

You, Sir, deserve a medal.

dd409, I agree completely :) their community is terrible, they are all angry little 12 year olds haha. Every good bot costs money and so do the bad ones, the only recognised people are those who create the scripts or are admins of the site. Unlike here, where everyone is recognised for the small things they do to help out :) like testing and feedback. mmm SRL <3

That's because Speljohan went out and made the dumbest decision in his life by saying "this bot is a leecher bot and well always will be". I Remember that post clearly, because when Rsbot 1st came around it was pretty badass and they had intelligent members and admin. After that everything went downfall. Lot's of scammers, and phishing. Their community is a mess.

I don't really care about RSBot users arrogance or assholery but what pisses me off is that every world has like 3 bots at every location.

And some places are hilariously bad, just look at chickens. 8 bots fighting over the chicken spawns.

You should see some of the worlds that I try to bot ess on, there's like always a stream of players coming out of aubury's shop(alteast 20+), and don't even get me started on mining guild bots.

Here at SRL, we don't edit anything in the client, but I think JaGeX can still check for something like "Smart.Client" or whatever… The best would be to auto on runescape.com

I tried to bot at chickens, it was packed so bad. I had to bot on goblins then later cows.

I'm not really the type of botter who just runs a bot anywhere and doesn't care about other players. Most of the time if I run a bot and I see other people there (regardless or whether they are a bot or legit player) I world hop to find a world with no one in it or very little and bot there for a short period

Sticking to 20-25hrs autoing a week for me has done the trick. 3-4hrs/day during the week, 5-7 on the weekend..Sounds human like too

I actually tried MSI at the Draynor Willows for the first time yesterday, and there were bots swarming all over the place.

There must have been 30 bots just on that one world.

I think a big part of "safe-autoing" would be regularly switching worlds after a certain amount of hours or so have passed, maybe this could be after the script has taken a few hours break it might switch worlds, and if you're running an MSI script, also change what skill you're botting. Rinse and repeat…

I have seen a huge influx of bots appearing in the old regular spots ever since the known release of free trade and the wilderness again :/

Every single time I am in draynor the willows are PACKED, there is no way any of those accounts are actually getting anything if there are 5+ people PER TREE

Also a good tip for scripts. Normal players wouldn't cut in a populated world like that, they'd probably switch or find a new spot. I don't know just how in-dept reflection is, but if it has the ability to count the number of players within an area, then you could easily get around this by having it switch worlds until it's found a less populated area. Obviously you can't have a static number of people to trigger a world switch, that'd be very detectable later on, but maybe like + or - 3 people above or over the 'population' limit would tell the script to switch worlds.

^ harry's lesser slinger script has that, I think it is quite amazing :)

I remember this script on RSbot had an auto responder and if it detected the word hi or hello it would respond with "yo" "sup" "hey" etc … and when I went to draynor willows I would write hi and almost everyone would reply with that and I was like auto responder fail

Been botting up a pure for update gonna be pissed if they just ban it :(

Roger that lmfao. I was @ draynor thieving, then those bots would respond to those hi and "wc level comments". Then when they reply they ask a question and some other bots answer, its like a domino effect lmao.
