hey there, on my return to OSRS,I decided to play with a mixture of legit and bot play and soon after,tried my luck with a mini-gold farm,but unluckily I started at the absolute wrong time,the time when the ban rate is off the roof My journey (pre-latest RS update) -Had a main lvl 82 from before with 0 cash,rebuilt to 5m through botting -Sold 5m rs 07 gp for $15.5 and bought DreamFighter script for $9.99 -Made 10m in totality using the scripts (dreamfighter & precisefreeabyss) strictly on 1 account (main) with moderate botting (3-4 hours a day) -Sold another 5m for $15.5 -Bought a VPN (Internet private access) ( $6.99/pm plan) -Started using VPN for botting on accounts other than main (main still botted on my original IP) -Got another member account and sent it to druids -The 2nd account was older than 14 days,fresh member and made 2.5m using the Fighter script in 2 days (20 hours botting total) (after the most recent RS update) (from when I think the ban rate went through the roof) -My main got banned botting the same cycle as before with a successful 3 week survival (while using the precise abyss which is a remarkable script) -My 2nd member account 4-5 days down the line got banned (using Dreamfigther script,another amazing script) At this point both my Member and Main earners were banned,I have appealed on both,awaiting reply,hope for the best Meanwhile,I created 8 F2p accounts -3 Woodcutting bots,lvl 3s,manual tutorial island,used kCutter script at varrock east for oaks all accounts got banned within first 24 hours (maxed wc lvl reached 55) (botting sessions 6 hour on each) -5 Fighter bots, used Dreamfighter to kill and collect cowhides in a secluded area botted 2 accounts at a time for 3 hours max and switched between 2 (giving 3 hour breaks to each account) -they survived longer than the WC bots, 2 banned within the first 48 hours and the remaining 3 within the first 72 hours ( delayed bans as i wasn't logged on them during the ban) After manually creating so many bots and having them banned so quickly, frankly speaking is not no where worth it. VERDICT: at a position worse than I started with hours of work invested. It has everything to do with the timing, the Most recent rs 07 Update has according to me made OSbot ALOT more DETECTABLE -Sooner rather than later but all accounts running bots currently will be ban hammered. -Worst possible time that I've seen for botting Note: I suspect my VPN has a part to contribute to my bans as well, due to dynamic IP all my F2P accounts were getting repeatedly locked (only to be unlocked via password change) -I suspect Internet Private Access VPN service IPs are flagged by Jagex Still i have NOT given up, only looking for methods/techniques that will add more security to my accounts and gold farm ALL I HAVE TO SHOW FOR IN 3 WEEKS OF BOTTING -Over $50 worth of rs 07 gp on banned main (lvl 97) -Over $15 worth banned in f2p accounts in totality 9 -$5 bucks over costs to show for all the work Meh
