Currently in the process of trying B - trying to run him out of here. Will run enough bots to make minimal profits/break even and see if he folds, if not I'll try adding enough to lose a small portion of profit. I figured this may actually be one of the best options for me, appreciate the advice!

Will do, in the mean time I might try something a bit different. May try making a script that will report all the accounts in the area, except mine - hopefully causing an insane ban rate for him. I feel so toxic doing this, but money is money & he's hurting my cash flow

Unfortunately not, went MIA around a year ago. Will probably end up exposing if I can't flush him out by adding a mass-amount of bots to the area. Thanks for all the replies people

I like this response the best so far, keep them coming guys. Have reasons for this. It's a method that's so unknown that only specific people would know about it, AKA me and the private scripter/maybe VERY FEW people in game. Keep in mind guys.. if I do expose this - NO ONE will be making profit as everyone will start doing this. Will go from 5-700k/HR per account to around 80-100k/hr if ~50 people start doing this. So those telling me to expose for their own benefit is pretty useless xD

Been gold farming in a disclosed/private location for around 1.5-2 years now (private script/method.) Past 2 weeks I've found that someone has discovered my method. (It's essentially a competition to make one of us leave the area at this point.) This person has had a drastic affect on GP/H and ban rate (he may actually be reporting my farm as to take out competition, though I'm not sure how effective reports are.) Went from a few bans monthly, to being banned nearly every day or 2 for the past 2 weeks. My question is, out of the following.. what would you do? A) Cool it for a while and wait for this person to leave this area? (May not happen) B) Add so many bots to the area that he makes no profit, discouraging him to leave? (Meaning I'd also temporarily make no profit/potentially even lose some profit in the process.) C) Completely expose the method publicly, PERMANENTLY ruining the method for both of us. (But getting my revenge, so to speak) I can tell it's only one person, whole other farm has the same basic username with random numbers at the end (idiot) Could easily go back to one of my older methods after exposing, but will be cutting profits around 20-25% though so it's a bit discouraging as gold farming essentially a part-time job for me. Any input on this is appreciated. I'm determined to either remove this person from the method or completely ruin it

I'd suggest finding a different method man, you won't be able to run a tanner for 24 hours. If you are able to - it's pure luck. Too much risk with too little reward. Find something that only requires 100k-2m or so per account for supplies or w/e. What you want is low risk is with a DECENT reward so when bans do occur you're not losing a fat chunk of GP.

Not sure of the exact price on this - it seems to be a decent account. However, you may want to delete this and upload a new screenshot with some of the stats blacked/edited out. It's not really the best practice to post a screenshot with ALL the stats visible like this. (Can result in the account being banned.)

Let me save you the hassle. Create one account per IP and you'll never receive bans or locks assuming you're using clean proxies. Just be sure to keep the creation IP and the tutorial IP the same for each account. If you're adamant on checking the status of each account, just try to log them into a p2p world. It will either say the accounts disabled or you need membership to log into this world.

Could try wild looting, can do it straight off tutorial island. Not sure if there's a public script for this though, most good wild looters are private.

For one, I wouldn't bot ANYTHING in lumby. Literally asking for a ban.. Also, I wouldn't expect fishing accounts to last very long. I find things like woodcutting, fishing, and mining to have some of the highest ban rates in game.

I wouldn't bother, sounds like a hassle. How often do you plan on calling your ISP to change your IP? Besides, I highly doubt you're flagged unless you've been mass-creating accounts from one IP. I've had thousands of bans over the years on my home IP and I've never been flagged at all. What makes you think you're flagged?

Work hours don't matter, basically like Jack said: Activity and location are pretty much everything when it comes to bans.

Honestly, I'd assume you'll be able to run 15-25 at once, possibly even more than that. I have 8 GB ram, and a quad core i5 (stays about 3,3Ghz) and I'm able to run 12-15 accounts while browsing the web/playing OSRS while keeping the CPU at about 75-80% max. 12-15 accounts will use about 70-80% of my ram, probably less but I always have firefox open. *Note: This was with a different client, but it uses similar resources to osbot (depending on script.) So yeah anywhere from 15-25.

Good to know, glad I could help

I assume you can just start a script and when the handler begins to type your password just re-click the username column. Should type your password in the username spot instead so it's visible. LMK if this works.

You'll get banned with any scripts, however private scripts can reduce the rate in which you are banned.

Don't bother unlocking accounts. You can only do so many unlocks from one IP anyway. If you want to create accounts you'll need proxies, VPS isn't good for botting tutorial. 2 accounts created per IP max.

Antiban is fake and a waste of time. It's a term used by certain scripters to help sell their script Don't worry about antiban, worry about creating a quality script with good code.

You're very welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a PM. I'm glad I could help

Not sure if this is your problem, but I'll give it a shot. After you load up the client, do you have remember or hide username checked? If this is the case you'll want to uncheck both of these. I assume having either of these options checked would screw with the log in handler. For script issues, make sure you set your zoom to default in game. If this doesn't fix it, make sure to report any bugs on the script thread as stated by Juggles above.

I've experimented with this quite a bit personally. You'll notice locks like this if your proxies were already used for account creation recently. For example: Even if you create on your home IP - after about 3-4 accounts you'll start catching locks. After you unlock a few, they'll start auto-banning you until you switch up proxies. I don't believe IP flags exist though (besides account creation.) Currently running 15-20 on my home IP 24/7 and when I catch bans it's usually only 3-4/20 accounts.

Just to point something out: You can't mass unlock accounts from one IP address. I'm assuming you plan on mass-creating accounts and unlocking them all from one IP at the end - this will NOT work. As long as you keep the account creation IP and the tutorial island botted IP the same, you won't have to deal with locks at all. Mass-unlocking too many accounts from a single IP will result in automatic bans. Just a heads up if this was your plan

In my opinion doesn't make any difference. Really, I'd say the only benefit is that with a registered email you can unlock accounts should they be locked instead of banned. In my experience if you're creating the accounts correctly you shouldn't have to worry about locks at all though.

To be honest: Your best bet is purchasing a private script from a well-known scripter. Just make sure the conditions are that they support free bug fixes for a few months, and after that you pay a small fee per fix. Private scripts are the way to go. You could look into scripting a bit as well, you really don't need prior experience to start. I had absolutely 0 experience and I was able to create a 100% functional script within the first week of learning. 3 weeks in I was able to create more advanced/progressive scripts. Even if your code isn't the best in the beginning, (as to be expected), you'll still have a fairly low ban rate as you'll be the only person using your script.

Do you have OSRS mobile? You could just download an auto-clicker for your phone
