Silver Knight Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 So this was in today's update news. The past couple of months have given us a good idea of how the restriction benefits us the most in terms of detecting and quickly banning bots. As such, we are going to be making a few, small changes to the trade restriction limits:New players now only need to be logged in for 18 hours OR get 7 or more quest points to remove the trade restriction from their account. In addition to this, the trade restriction now only applies to a number of commonly botted items. Does anyone know what they mean by ''The past couple of months have given us a good idea of how the restriction benefits us the most in terms of detecting and quickly banning bots.'' Also any thoughts about the news?

I've been able to bot a fresh account through those 24 hours without a ban several times. 18 hours just makes it easier. Edited April 16, 2015 by HeroicRambo

Zebrafon Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks, Jagex, for giving us an additional idea of how your botwatch system works. Keep them coming
