We obviously appreciate it, but why does the community have to point out the obvious?

I thought Jagex had regular checks on these things, and yet they're able to continue just fine until the community shows-off 'their' account.

There's only so much we can focus on with the finite resource we have, whilst social platforms do highlight the need for other areas to be checked more frequently and pick up what's missed for too long, on this occasion it was spurred on by my initial investigation into the 3k goldfarmer accounts

I cleaned out the top 500 or so this morning, should be a little better.

Whilst I commend your ability to take action, I must admit that this is the account I sent a tip on October 5th to Jagex's tipoff email, further inquired about said email on twitter around a week ago and now posted the exact same thing on reddit. It isn't really my account.

Your turn.

Touché - not all of tipoff can be actioned due to the amount of reports sent to it, however

What are you talking about? GWD only requires 2 beginner quests, 60 str, and 70 in one combat stat. It also has low requirements that can quickly be trained to get.

It wasn't always worth their time to master/profit per hour in comparison to other areas of the game.

Whilst I commend your ability to kill Vorkath, posting on Reddit about your account doesn't grant it any legitimacy from selling your spoils to the Black Market (that goes for the 481m you sold today, too).

That is true tbh

We apply tens of thousands of macroing bans per day :o

We did, however the low requirements and vast amount of goldfarmers/people training the accounts meant they always had a huge supply

Ban is correct

Not defending gold farming or this person. But curious on jagex stance on alt accounts. Are we ok to have vorkath/brutal black dragon alts? Even if we just trade with our main account? Not saying that's what has happened here. Just asking for myself

So long as you're not cheating then having alts is fine

Comment

You were banned for gold farming, along with 3,012 other accounts today.

You should be able to grab that if the account is a member

Got the email about 3 hours ago, account is still banned. Should I just wait longer? Or email an appeal?

There's 2500 accounts still left that it's processing, should be done shortly - it's slow today!

I've checked and the system seems to have gotten to your account, apologies for the delay between the email and the actual action being taken.

How old of accounts are getting unbanned? Have one that was banned probably three years ago that is still banned.

Accounts identified are based on a few factors such as events surrounding the ban and a lot of other things - not all accounts identified will be unbanned just yet, they are getting done in batches.

Comment

We are indeed sending these out - there's currently a short delay between the account being reinstated and the email being delivered so I advise checking your account in an hour's time or so.

You're preaching to the wrong crowd. The people that make these levels of decisions don't roam Reddit, or even help create the game. I imagine every dev/artist/QA/etc (on both OSRS and RS3) would want to get rid of bots, but knows that their higher ups only want X anti-cheating specialists per game.

Throwing more people at the problem won't solve it, there's lots of other limitations which are also being worked on.

Why is it temporary? Runescape has had botting problems since 2001. You need more than one full time staff member to handle the tens of thousands of suicide bots and various other bots that this game sees daily.

If you cut anti-cheating staff the bots will just flare up until this subreddit complains again. Jagex made over 50 million pounds of profit last year and over 100 in revenue, it baffles me how stingy they are with employees.

There's 7 members of the team who work across both RS and OSRS.
