I have come up with a list of things on how Jagex detects a bot. Note that some of these are just speculatory.

 

 

- Manual: A player uses the report-abuse feature.

 

- Manual: Jagex Moderator manually catches the bot.

 

- System detection: Jagex looks for patterns generated by a bot (eg: walking routes and tiles clicked on).

 

- System detection: Jagex looks for patterns generated by a bot's anti-ban (eg: constant mouse-hovering on skills over a span of time).

 

- System detection: Jagex looks for if the bot has played over 12 hours in a single day (un-human play time).

 

- System detection: Jagex detects that the player's account is new, membership with a bond, and un-human play time in a single week (eg: 50+ hours in a single week).

 

- System detection: Jagex watches for new accounts that redeems a bond after short play time.

 

- System detection: Jagex watches for the same IP address on multiple accounts, over a span of time.

 

 

Note that manual bans tend to give you 2-14 day bans, while system-detection bans tend to be permanent.

 

Feel free to post your suggestions.

Nice but we already know this...

Seems to be accurate

I'm just putting a list together of known or possible methods Jagex use to catch bots. I guess it should help a few people that aren't aware of some methods.

- Jagex looks for patterns generated by a bot (eg: walking routes and tiles clicked on).

 

- System detection: Jagex looks for patterns generated by a bot's anti-ban (eg: constant mouse-hovering on skills over a span of time).

 

- System detection: Jagex looks for if the bot has played over 12 hours in a single day (un-human play time).

- With Kret's AIO Woodcutter, you have to record your pattern yourself and I think it runs the same route almost every time. Got 8M XP with this, no ban.

- I bot 15-20 hours a day, sometimes less. I have un-human play time, most of the time. I'm not getting insane XP rates and I train different skills with breaks, but still. Main thing: I don't get caught, I'm doing this for almost a month.

- 'Constant mouse-hovering on skills over a span of time': I've ran Kret's AIO Woodcutter and it hovers only on the woodcutting skill I think, I've ran it for hours, giving me a total of 8M woodcutting XP, still no ban.

 

What I'm saying is, bans are so random. Why didn't they get me (yet)? But why did they get someone who just started botting and is banned in 3 hours?

 

Places will play a role, if you bot on magic trees at Sourcerers' Tower, you'll get banned much more easy, than botting willows in Draynor.

I always bot on low populated worlds, maybe this is important?

 

Thanks for making this list, I appreciate it.

Perhaps I should also add a list here that states "how to possibly prevent a ban"?

 

And yes, I mentioned at the start that most of these were just "possible" :P

 

Thanks for your input!

 

 

I think this was helpful for me

not all of this is true

not all of this is true

 

Which statement is true?

I guess all of the manual ones. :P

The route isn't the exact same every time on Kret's AIO woodcutter
