Hey guys, I’ve newly returned to OSRS and the botting scene. I’ve been running some old accounts and one of them caught a ban. Decided to replace the account and now I have to have 20 hours game play, 100 total level and 10 quest points before I can trade... is this just a method to try and put a stop to gold farming? I can’t even sell items I’ve collected on my account such as logs etc to upgrade gear. This wasn’t the case when I used to play and is kinda making me think gold farming isn’t so viable anymore? 

Yes it is normal, it was introduced on the 2th of April, to try and prevent f2p suicide farming.

Yeah this is new. Goodluck in p2p I guess  

It's aimed at suicide botting I think. Sucks that it actually impacts players who want to just upgrade gear though

yeah its to stop the massive gold farms that have been going on lately in F2P but u can just do goblin diplomacy and romeo & juliet and you'll have 10 QP (takes like 10 min)

^What he said but it's 20 hours of online game time. Meet ALL reqs or get a bond

Wrong, you still need the 20 hours of game time required to bypass it. As well as total levels or buy membership. 

Thanks for the info. Didn’t realise you could bypass it buy upgrading to members 

Just bot members it's way easier and more profitable. I've found that it was more profitable. Botting f2p will get you banned fast, when I mean fast I mean you won't get to that 20 hr mark. And even if you do you won't make much out of the account as it will be banned shortly after.
