- What game mode (OSRS, RS3)? OSRS
- What bots on RuneMate have you used? Within the last month: Mikes Lava runecrafter, gatsby combat helper, vardorvis mate, leviathan mate, duke succellus mate, sepulchre mate, AIO farming, Mage training arena
- What other botting software (Powerbot etc.) have you used previously? N/A
- Have you been banned previously? Yes and it was quashed
- Were you 'suicide' botting? No, but the longest I botted last month was Lava rcing. Upwards of 8 hours per day with the lava rcing bot with 3-4 hours max per session without a break.
- Did you play legitimately in between botting? Not all the time between breaks of running a bot. However, I always do something legit when I bot that day.
- When was your account created? Around 2015.
I NEVER run as many different bots as I have recently done. I usually bot with one specific bot then take a few days break until I transition to using a different bot.
APPEAL DENIED as well. I use VPN every time I bot and turn it off when I play legit. I have a feeling temporary bans appeals are not something that are reviewed by a Jmod in depth. It is either automated for minor bot ban offenses or Jmods just deny the vast majority outright and wait until a bot major permanent ban comes around to then consider accepting an appeal. Otherwise, I am not sure how Jagex does not accept an appeal if the botting was detected on an IP other my own.
Also, I want to add that I very, very rarely use bossing bots. Recently, I only ran the bossing bots for one, or a few kills. Did not run them more than 30-40 minutes per bot. Maybe 20 minutes average each.
I believe my ban was due to Mikes Lava Rcing but cannot say for sure because the one day I ran that bot I did not use any other bot. I noticed that RuneMate gave me an error that I never saw before, something about a bridge connection error. I had paused the bot and came back about 20 minutes later, logged back in, and noticed I was in a Free 2 play world. That never happened to me before. Worlds don't randomly switch like that. Only time that happens if I close the RL client and restart it.
I believe I was just unlucky with the runecrafting bot and suspect an undercover Jmod was checking lava runecrafting, players were reporting me, etc. Runecrafting and agility are two skills that I have been dreading to bot for many many years as I know from word of mouth that is where most people get the ban hammer from.
