Scotty told me to post here. 1,2,3,4,5,6

One of the other things to consider is the actions of a human. A player does not sit at their computer for even two hours without some form of tab-checking, interaction with an external application, or even a minor AFK every couple of minutes. Most bots are programmed for efficiency and at the expense of appearing *human-like*, to use the phrase, they tend to chase the xp/hour rather than a genuine human approach. I know that if I focus on my interactions with the RS client as a human, I take an extra 5-10 minutes per hour to do what a bot could do in that time, simply because I'm browsing Youtube for a new song to play, or scrolling through Facebook. It would seem that the key to a successful script is human-like response time, human interaction (speaking in chat, randomly), checking skill tabs, experience rates, and taking the odd 5-10 second pause every 5-10 minutes. It would show up like a sore thumb if there's players attempting to kill Hill Giants and burying bones in the exact same way for five hours straight.

Thursday here. If you need any bets on horses for Wednesday, I'm your man.

Hi all, As a regular botter who strives to achieve human-like hours and interactions, I've just received a 2-day ban, and it got me to thinking - How advanced is the Jagex macro detection system? Would a human attempting to act like a bot successfully receive a ban, and appeal it? i.e. repetitive clicking in the same spot, pretending to be stuck on a tile, extensive waiting period, cycling between quest/skill panel etc etc What's people's thoughts on the detection system? What do YOU think they use to catch botters? I'm looking for an extensive list. On the live stream of Bot Banning, they mention a special heuristics system that they use. I'd be interested to know the thoughts of my fellow botters on just how advanced it is - since they claim it to be 100% beyond shadow of doubt. Fire away!

It has its joys in some aspects. Coming back to the game from when I was a young teenager, there's a certain sense of nostalgic enjoyment in questing and training certain skills. The issue is that Jagex has monopolized on the "grind" aspect of the game and have made it incredibly tedious to achieve any sense of fulfilment from the game (140,000 high alchs to 94 mage....gg.) I enjoy PvP, and adventuring in the world, but for the most part - it's still only pixels on a screen. The community has become slightly less toxic on OSRS due to the migration of the younger players to RS3 which is nice, but yeah...the cons mostly outweigh the pros unfortunately (spam-bots at GE, anyone?)
