My Experience with botting the lats 3 weeks

[nitinzaz]

hey there,
on my return to OSRS,I decided to play with a mixture of legit and bot play and soon after,tried my luck with a mini-gold farm,but unluckily I started at the absolute wrong time,the time when the ban rate is off the roof

My journey
(pre-latest RS update)
-Had a main lvl 82 from before with 0 cash,rebuilt to 5m through botting
-Sold 5m rs 07 gp for $15.5 and bought DreamFighter script for $9.99
-Made 10m in totality using the scripts (dreamfighter & precisefreeabyss) strictly on 1 account (main) with moderate botting (3-4 hours a day)
-Sold another 5m for $15.5 
-Bought a VPN (Internet private access) ( $6.99/pm plan)
-Started using VPN for botting on accounts other than main
(main still botted on my original IP)
-Got another member account and sent it to druids
-The 2nd account was older than 14 days,fresh member and made 2.5m using the Fighter script in 2 days (20 hours botting total)

(after the most recent RS update)
(from when I think the ban rate went through the roof)
-My main got banned botting the same cycle as before with a successful 3 week survival
(while using the precise abyss which is a remarkable script)
-My 2nd member account 4-5 days down the line got banned (using Dreamfigther script,another amazing script)

At this point both my Member and Main earners were banned,I have appealed on both,awaiting reply,hope for the best

Meanwhile,I created 8 F2p accounts 
-3 Woodcutting bots,lvl 3s,manual tutorial island,used kCutter script at varrock east for oaks
all accounts got banned within first 24 hours (maxed wc lvl reached 55)
(botting sessions 6 hour on each)

-5 Fighter bots,
used Dreamfighter to kill and collect cowhides in a secluded area
botted 2 accounts at a time for 3 hours max and switched between 2
(giving 3 hour breaks to each account)
-they survived longer than the WC bots,
2 banned within the first 48 hours
and the remaining 3 within the first 72 hours ( delayed bans as i wasn't logged on them during the ban)

After manually creating so many bots and having them banned so quickly,
frankly speaking is not no where worth it.

VERDICT: at a position worse than I started with hours of work invested.
It has everything to do with the timing,
the Most recent rs 07 Update has according to me made OSbot ALOT more DETECTABLE

-Sooner rather than later but all accounts running bots currently will be ban hammered.
-Worst possible time that I've seen for botting

Note:
I suspect my VPN has a part to contribute to my bans as well,
due to dynamic IP all my F2P accounts were getting repeatedly locked
(only to be unlocked via password change)
-I suspect Internet Private Access VPN service IPs are flagged by Jagex

Still i have NOT given up,
only looking for methods/techniques that will add more security to my accounts and gold farm

ALL I HAVE TO SHOW FOR IN 3 WEEKS OF BOTTING
-Over $50 worth of rs 07 gp on banned main (lvl 97)
-Over $15 worth banned in f2p accounts in totality 9
-$5 bucks over costs to show for all the work

Meh

I say this everyday, botting is not worth it anymore especially on mains, you will get banned now.

[Single Core]

Really depends on what you are botting. I doubt u'll get a ban for botting alching. 

Getting banned right after an update could be a delayed ban, from last week for example. 

[jfire99]

did the accounts get perm banned or day bans?

Do services for gold instead of gold farming

that requires me to invest ALOT of time in starting up and doing the service,which compared to botting is all done by the cpu processor

I did not get banned right after the update,

It is roughly the period after which the ban rate sky rocketed.

and as per assumptions it could be an year old delayed ban

but as banning pattern suggests,

Mods are permanent banning accounts straight away or max with a 24-48 hour delay not as log as a week for now.

 

did the accounts get perm banned or day bans?

All of them got permanent bans,

-My main (got a 2 day ban a year back)

-My 2nd Member account was older than 14 days w/o botting and started after the 15th day w/ botting (still got a straight permanent w/o 2 day ban)

-9 F2P accounts were all fresh (less than 2 weeks old) (straight permanent on all of them)

Damn, I haven't been banned yet. been botting for months.

[nitinzaz]

Damn, I haven't been banned yet. been botting for months.

-which scripts are you using,mainly?

-which method are u applying to mask IP (if so),VPN/Private proxies and which (if any)?

-how much time on average do you bot,and break?

-Any other tips/suggestions?

questions i have many,but in order to not come across as a pest,refraining to 3-4 

=)

thanks

Appealing botting bans is useless.  They even stated in their Ban FAQ that botting bans are final and unappealable; they only ban people that "they are 100% sure are bots".

 

Not trying to be a downer, but my old main has been banned for 2 years now for botting and the appeal was never approved/denied, no word, nothing.

 

Read about how much they care here:
