ANIMA VESTRA Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I've noticed that most of my accounts have gotten bans through out the day, but never at night. So here I am trying out a method where I suicide botted two different accounts over the course of a 4 day time period. Both trained the same skill for 48 hours, both respective to each time frame. Both accounts made it through the stress period but the day bot got banned within a couple of days after this test, while the night bot is still going strong. Now I'm going to attempt to do the same thing with woodcutting and other skills to see which are the optimal time periods to bot and to see if it has any noticeable difference in ban rates.

Avoid Jagex office hours, reduce bans. Edited October 9, 2015 by Gamete
cutvision Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Basically what he said. I'm assuming that during the day time they have their own team walking around manually banning bots/ checking the behavior of any flagged ones.
raph Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Any one know the Jagex office hours ? probably 8am - 5pm UK time ? Edited October 9, 2015 by raph
ANIMA VESTRA Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 So umm... whats you're timezone? EST.
nyan Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Get better bots Personally I only bot main accounts when I am awake (10am-4am EST) and I've never had an issue. The goldfarms are done on a separate ip and are 24/7 with breaks every 3 hours for about 20 minutes but I'm starting to think that breaks are pointless. Clean ip + what looks to be a main account = literally no bans day or night. Goldfarms are going to get banned, it's apart of the business. It doesn't matter if it's day or night. I've had accounts last months and others only last hours. It doesn't really matter what time it is if you're goldfarming, the bans are inevitable. If you really wish to continue conducting tests such as the one you've explained then I would recommend using a fresh ip on every account. Otherwise your data is flawed. EDIT: woodcutting, hunter, mining, and others all fall under the category of goldfarming because people normally use them for that reason. Even if you are doing these skills without the intention of goldfarming you must realize that they are heavily monitored and your chances of being banned are greatly increased.

ANIMA VESTRA Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 I use a VPN to ensure I have a different IP address for every account that I've created. Plus with these tests the bots aren't taking any breaks whatsoever.
Lacoste Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I use a VPN to ensure I have a different IP address for every account that I've created. Plus with these tests the bots aren't taking any breaks whatsoever. i think its relatively more safer at night because no jmod bans.
rips Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 And how do you know Jagex are not watching this thread? They might start to think that botters think Jagex don't watch them during the night, so now Jagex plans to be a bit active during the night jesus christ you guys, now I have to stop botting during the night
brandonmw420 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I'm EST as well and I always get my bans post midnight lol.
ImMrWhite Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I use a VPN to ensure I have a different IP address for every account that I've created. Plus with these tests the bots aren't taking any breaks whatsoever. May I ask what VPN you run? Iff you don't wanna share it I totally understand. I'm trying to get some overal info about botting on VPN's.. Thanks in advance!
danielsoko Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 id say dosent matter, but id set up breaks and turn the bot off when you wouldent play yours self, i only bot when im on the computer
