Hey, there was a handful of accounts locked on Friday morning for precautionary checks to ensure that everything was in order. Whilst the majority of accounts were unlocked within minutes, 9 accounts remained locked over the weekend. I've now added missed membership to these accounts and unlocked them - please do note that an account lock doesn't mean you will have "lost their accounts and all their work" - they can simply be unlocked via the website.
Ive sent reports in and a tip off email about a certain player that was openly botting spiritual mages/warriors in their psd on 3 accounts and he wasnt banned.
Its very discouraging to report players that abuse the game (and then make real world profit off lf it) then get told to just make more reports.
I understand your frustration, and whilst we do miss some accounts or refuse to take action, this is due to lack of hard evidence. Reporting accounts does keep bringing them to our attention, so when there is enough evidence to support the claim, we can take decisive action.
Honestly it can't even detect autoclicking to train skills on RS. So many players with over 2b xp that I've seen do it and are quite outspoken about it.
We apply an average of 71 offences per day to players who auto-click in RuneScape (not counting OS). Whilst it's something we'd like to more proactively tackle, there's more damaging bots which we need to maintain focus on, but rest assured we do take action. Please report any players you suspect of auto-clicking too, as they will be reviewed on a daily basis.
Will take a look at these areas, but please do continue to report each account as we review all and tweak Bot Watch based on reports too.
We'll only ever take action against an account for interactions with our game, and not for simply running a program on your computer.
nice
They're cleared on a daily basis. Unfortunately we can't preemptively ban an account for botting.
Just got muted for selling a blazing title.
thats some bullshit.
The temporary pmod mute has been removed, it'll be looked into.
Welp he's not banned. The name is Core L.
Today my clan mates informed me the very, very well made bot equipped a fire battlestaff and was unsuccessfully attacking spiritual mages for 2 hours. He did this twice.
Tyran missed an obvious one lol
Edit: terrible misspelling
Banned
I was recently doing a elite clue and noticed how many bots are killing turoth next to relleka can some please explain why this is?
These have been cleared out again, it'll be an ongoing fight I'm afraid
Best name out there amirite?
It sure is!
I like his name
I like yours too

consider me very triggered /s
It’d be great if this was a weekly event. Spend 2 hours on a Wednesday afternoon cleaning out bots. Rotate which ones are targeted so it’s an even purge.
Moving forward we shall be doing this, but feel free to nag me if an area needs looking at.
Just wish they would trace any player involvements with these bots as well. Follow the gp/items traded.
Maybe they do already, I'm not sure.
We do :)
Does jagex try to go further and find out which accounts are benefiting from the bots?
Yep - these are usually picked up in our more in-depth Real World Trading checks, especially for gold farming bots such as these.
Hey, these have now been banned. Apologies for the grief they've caused you.
