The hosidious kitchen tile was number 1, second was south east wintertodt spot, and 3rd place was a spot at the GE. For instance maybe youd see a lower ban rate if you used south west side of wintertodt and never stepped on that tile, or you might see higher ban rates doing bank activities at places like the GE or clan wars/castle wars chest banks where lots of XP would also be gained

how did you find this information out?

They don't go by tile, they go by hot spots.

Welp, at least once they went.

Yeah I saw that too. Real good information and def link it with bots, since most go to same spots. ex Wintertdot

Does this apply for bots which dont gain any experience? Such as jug fillers or (unf) potions makers?

In the pic that charlotte posted you can see huge hotspot in Varrock east bank also near its fountain, so yeah they can track jug fillers easily aswell

holy shit thats alot of xp, cheer tho

I'm kind of confused by the fact that they record this at all. What tile XP is gained on doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to identify bots since most bots don't stand on weird tiles.

Tbh, they probably use this to see how players are interacting with the game rather than bot detection. I'd image there are far better metrics that they have access to.

If Jagex really cared about using their data to stop bots they would just start following mule trades until they find the mules of goldseller or the actual buyers and ban them.

But they dont care.

You can't just store all transaction data for 100.000 players let alone run analytics on it. That's alooooooooot of data. Good for us. 🙂

Im pretty sure they can. There have been multiple posts on reddit where someone was bragging about rwting/botting or something and jmods manually tracked down his accounts by trades.

 

Case by case, maybe. But for the entire userbase? That must be more than 100 million recordsets a week for trade transactions between players only. Just sorting such an amount of data is a massive headache and takes minutes. Possible but too expensive in my opinion.
