Hey!

So my account was banned for 2 days for macroing. I have never botted/ used any kind of macros in my life but here is what happened.

https://preview.redd.it/7az8fu04ogv71.png?width=1385&format=png&auto=webp&s=039c8efb5e5ceb4da1aaaa5e9c6175e7c7b82a31

I was on sick leave from work because of a neck/back pain and I wasn't able to use my normal computer so I decided to use laptop which have touch screen. I also had RuneLite installed with some handy plugins enabled for example drop item without shift + click (teak logs in this case). I racked up massive hours on play time on Wednesday up until Friday midday when the ban happened.

Immediately after the ban I appealed to it because, of course, I was playing the game when this happened. I also made a post on Twitter about it. Appeal was answered today and you all can see it in this post.

So... is it possible the Jagex bot/macro detection system was triggered by the touch screen on my laptop and caused the ban? To make it clear I was using RuneLite client for desktop and according to my knowledge is way different from mobile client.

Could I have used illegal plugins on RuneLite without knowing about it? Is there forbidden plugins on RuneLite which may have caused this?

Or is it possible that this sudden spike on my playtime and repetitive actions (seriously I had hard time sleeping so i played a lot) seemed that my account was hijacked.

Please keep the conversation civil. I just want to know what I did to trigger this ban and prevent it from happening again.

Do you have a display name for the account I can have?

Hey @kriscss

 

A ban isn't something we can help with here on Answers HQ. When you've got the chance please reach out to the Terms of Service team so they can take a look at your account. They'll see if the ban can be overturned. 


For more info on how to set up a case with them check out the EA Help website

Hey @hubter31103,

 

Any appeals are handled by our Terms of Service team, as we're unable to review accounts or make changes via the forums.

 

If you've had multiple appeals and the ToS team has declined to remove the ban in each case, I'm afraid that would be final and not something that can be changed, sorry.

Hi  @MariOopsnMagiccTtv

 

I'm sorry, If you think there's been a mix-up with a ban application, you'll need to reach out and appeal this with the Terms of Service team. That's not something we can review or change on the forums. EA Bans and Suspensions is a guide that helps to answer most questions, just in case you'd like to check it out.  

 

Thanks,

Hi @a1435130,

Thank you for calling to attention the attachment. I've updated my post as a result.

On a different note, are you claiming to be the OP in this thread on another forum account??

Hey Everyone, 

 

This thread seems to have gotten a bit off-topic. Due to this, I will be closing this thread. 

 

If your EA account has been actioned by our terms of service team you will need to use the information previously share to contact them for the next steps.

 

We are unable to assist with account actions or other account issues here on Answers HQ. If you do come across someone else who may be violating our terms of service be sure to report them by using the appropriate tools.

 

Thanks!
