Should I apologise and make a sob story, or claim I quit some months ago and was hacked before I came back recently? Or maybe something better?

Honestly it doesn't matter what you write, i have abused them in my appeal before and been unbanned, where as others i deny botting and being sorry etc.. They will either unban you or they won't. Chances are they won't.

They ignore almost all appeals, it's really not even worth trying.

If you're going to attempt, sob story will not work at all, you can claim something about you getting hacked or something though.

But as I said, pretty much all appeals are ignored.

Nothing will help. Not trying to dis-hearten you

nothing helps mate.

 

just move on and make a new account and bot that up lots of people have lost their mains

jagex ignores all goldfarming/bot related bans. if you email them, they will check into your report as to why you have been banned. They will find third party software, being used on the account. If you make up a story and say your account has been hijacked, there is a small chance your account will be unbanned, if you have used various Ip addresses on the account.
