adjacent Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Botting has definitely become more difficult over the past few years. It'll take a lot of money, time and effort to find something that works for you - and even that isn't a guarantee. A lot of people who started botting lately have got fed up with constant bans and just stopped. And it might be the wiser choice for them, there are easier ways to make minor income.

Naw it's still going fine. Starting out is always rough and you will hit patches like this, just keep experimenting and you'll find something that works. You could also just focus on gold making full time with your bots and have the zulrah acc's as a side project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that is definitely an option, but I don't do things unless it's the most efficient which is all botting is, efficiency. I won't actually bot unless it's going to be making me real money AKA Zulrah farming, but I gotta figure out why my premium scripts are getting my accounts banned and why p****bots free scripts aren't. Kind of blowing my mind honestly. I know my spots are good, I know my botting and resting times are good, I will however start doing tutorial island manually, verifying account emails and resting them before use, and i'll see if that changes anything.

Jerry Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You're getting banned because you bot and therefore break Jagex TOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottedUnited89 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I don't care what anyone says, but i use nothing but mirror mode, and i haven't received a ban yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess, this is coming from a sample size of 1-2 accounts? From what I've seen, people get banned with mirror mode all the time. While also experiencing issues with bot stability and higher cpu/ram usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of the combat related bans I've had with public scripts and even my own happen around 40-60 combat skills. Once you're past that the rate drops sharply in my experience. Anyways my advice for you would be to just take it slow and be patient while you find what works, if it was easy to get an operation setup then everyone would be doing it.

Yeh, i'm going to try and be more patient. Create the accounts let them rest and bot them a lot slower until at least 70+ in combat stats. Just super annoying as I know I could use free scripts right now and worry less about bans than with premium scripts. xD But I'm guessing there's just a different learning curve between clients. 14 minutes ago, adjacent said: Let me guess, this is coming from a sample size of 1-2 accounts?

I haven't tried mirror because it seems complicated to set up for mass botting as well as i've tried it and have had bots crash consistently Vs. stealth injection. Along with the high PC resource cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo it's not too much of a difference with early levels whether or not it's free or premium, it's more a you get banned or you don't just based off botwatch paying more attention to new accounts doing repetitive things. It's when you get to more specialized and faster training methods that the premium scripts will really begin to shine and free scripts begin to stick out. I'd still give mirror mode a try though, better to take a little while longer to set up than get far along and be banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeh, I need to be more patient early on. However, I used free scripts only on this account botting my standard methods and never got banned. I think I just had bad luck + aggressive testing. I think the tutorial island bot + not verifying emails is what screwed me. You think? Edited March 1, 2019 by amDeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemme chime in about botting Tut Island, I've gotten the majority of my accounts from there banned within a week with conservative botting. It could've been the script I was using but still I would recommend doing it by hand if you can. : > Good luck and I hope the ban hammer doesn't catch you again friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never bother botting tut island, usually just suck it up and put on a show while I run through it multiple times. So can't attest to it's affected ban rates. Imo unverified emails probably play a factor when reviewing the acc, because well why the hell wouldn't they. I'd try and go see if you could talk to some of the more dedicated account farmers and see what if any effect they've experienced not just when leveling but when selling the accounts too if they have verified emails on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I definitely need some more updated knowledge regarding botting, I don't want to be prying into others methods though. Because I know I wouldn't want people bothering me with mine. Well.. for the most part. Everyone on the forum however seems very helpful and i'm grateful for all the responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
