Does a player/mod in game have to see you botting for you to get banned for it? Or can mods detect it without even being there?

 

In other words, if I bot in an completely deserted area, will it be near impossible for me to get banned if I don't go for say 12+ hours?

 

Thanks

Mods do manual bans on players they suspect are botting.

Players report people they suspect are botting.

The client/system itself has methods it sues to detect botting.

 

Just 'bot smart'.

Don't use abused/overused methods, don't bot for extra long hours, switch up skills, seem as human-like/legit as you can to protect yourself as best you can.

 

Do remember, whenever botting you are always assuming the potential risk of a ban.

I heard there was a rumor that the infamous 'Jacmob', Oldschool Runescape JMod has a Bot Busting System that he developed.

Cool, thats what i thought. I've been using Def Nerd's autofighter in a fairly empty area, It has the option to log out when a player or certain number of players are in the area. I have it set to change worlds if one other player is detected, so it finds empty worlds. I just didn't know if Jagex had a way to track it through the client.

Jacob went around banning a bunch of bots a couple weeks back

Well..personally, I resort to botting when I am no longer interested in grinding skills/money legit. So it's either bot or quit, and in that case I bot whenever I am not playing legit. Based on pre-eoc botting experience, I've never had any account banned. Of my accounts that I've botted: I maxed a zerker (99 str/range/mage/hp) with 99 rc/mining/smithing, I got a max cape on another (+over 150m combat xp), and I also ran multiple account at frost dragons when they were "high risk". None of which received a ban. I got a "warning" though when jagex shut down a certain botting website, so I stopped (by that time I had very few skills left to max anyway). I'm relatively new to osrs botting so I don't have too much experience with it to provide advice. Either way..say your botting 99 str and it takes 200 hours. You have to bot 200 hours whether it's split over 2 months or 2 weeks. So in my opinion, just get it done as soon as you can. 

its easily detected..........

Jagex can detect you without even being there. They do not require a mod to be there, but mods do visit occasionally.

 

If no one reports you in your area, you should be fine. If someone reports you, the mods might investigate.

You can always get manually banned (as stated above) but some bots are detectable. A bot developer for a RS3 bot stated that his bot was completely detectable. From what I've seen and heard, OSBot is undetectable as a bot and it seems bans will have to be manual bans or maybe based on unusual behavior in game, such as playing for 3 days straight or doing combat for a month straight and never training anything else.

Jagex logs player click coordinates and camera pitch/position on players their system picks up to seem bot like

they look for repeated actions that follow a exact pattern or range that it doesn't go out of.

in other words robotic like playing

things that give bots away or make them detectable

Repeated movement paths, bots that click within 3 coordinates of the same spot each time

Repeated actions, such as doing things exactly in a order without any mistakes and or small changes. this would include inventory setups

clicking the closest object, tree every time, walking to the bank with one click

no missclicks and fixes

Click patterns, they look for how much time difference there is between clicks and see if there is a set time/range that these click are

humans wont ever click every 600ms-1800ms of something happening

Bots are easily detectable once they know who to look at, the only thing stopping you from being banned is people not realizing your a bot and not reporting you, or they are working through a bunch of bots already and your just on the list to be investigated
