I genuinely feel bad when I look on the bot store and see like 40,000 users for alpha agility and like 10,000 for regal agility.

If you're new to botting and you use these bots they WILL get you banned. It's not a question of if you will get banned, you will get banned very quickly.

Please, for your own good, stop using them.

Bot sensibly and you will likely be fine. Everyone knows the risk of botting agility... Short periods and babysit.

No, not everyone knows the risk of botting agility or it wouldn't have '40,000 users.'

Also, short periods and babysitting does not ALWAYS work so don't tell everyone they'll be fine doing that, it's not a question of if you'll be banned it's when, and with agility it's very likely even taking all possible countermeasures you'll be banned quickly.

Also "users" just means "people who ever added it to their list". I'm sure a huge percentage of those people never used it, they just looked through the bot store and bookmarked it because an agility bot sounds useful.

True, yeah I'm not saying all 40,000 users actually use it, but a number even above 1000 or 2000 users is still a huge amount for a bot that has a very likely chance for you to be banned quickly. Plus, agility courses are an extremely common place that mods go to, where they manually ban bots.
 
Also, I feel like people don't realise that getting a single permaban can pretty much ruin any botting you do on other accounts, or even a 2 day ban in some cases. As soon as you get a ban on one account, it seems that they put you down on a list that they occasionally either manually or automatically check for botting. Once you get bans on multiple accounts, then they regularly check you as it can be assumed that you're trying to start or run a bot farm. I experienced this when I attempted to start a small bot farm of 3 accounts for Master Farmer botting, the first one got a 2 day ban after gaining literally 45m thieving xp just from Master Farmers, then the other 2 accounts were banned within a day of this ban. After that when I started botting on them again (after waiting 2 weeks in hopes that they might not be as regularly checked for botting) all 3 accounts were hit with a permaban on the same day, although they were all in different worlds. Be careful with botting.

You seem a bit butthurt. Got banned from botting Agility by any chance?

"You seem a bit butthurt"
You're the brainlet who came into the thread giving shit advice that'll get people banned.
FYI, I have botted agility once on an alt and got a 2 day ban, I would never be so retarded as to bot on my almost maxed main, especially not agility bot.

 

[flextroci]

Shit advice? I’ve trained agility fine on multiple accounts with zero issues. You’re the one creating this shit whilst probably in floods of tears.

You even said Mods go hang out at agility courses to find people to ban. Incredible stuff.

Don’t actually think you’re worthy of any more replies, talking bare shite. Everyone knows the risks of agility.

Account usernames?
Also, you're aware that saying "crying", "flood of tears", "butthurt" isn't smart and you could just counter my points with actual facts about your opinion, opposed to avoiding what I'm saying because you can't give any proof or facts as to why what I'm saying is wrong.

Why is this becoming a mini flame war.

Also, joined Nov 2, 2018? I doubt you have that much experience botting.

Idk, I bring up actual points about why agility bots are bad and he just comes in throwing insults at me...

These bots have been on the store FOREVER, so it makes sense that they have a lot of users. Also, more users do not mean the bot is safe(r) by any means, in fact, the more people use one specific bot, the more likely it is that it's creating a distinctive pattern somewhere.

Some people have been lucky with Agility, but most users will get banned eventually. On the plus side, I heard rumours about an upcoming agility bot that is supposed to be quite good.

For sure, yeah ik now that they don't actually have 40,000 users but it's likely that because they're on the front page for the most used bots they still have a good amount of consistent users, and agility bots are so easy to get banned on I felt I needed to make the post so any new people didn't ruin botting on all accounts by making a mistake on one.

It's one thing to warn people about a high-risk activity, but you're just fear mongering. I bot agility all the time, but I do so very conservatively - a max of 2 hours every other day. I've never been banned from a Runemate agility bot doing these hours. It's by no means a guaranteed ban to bot the skill.

It's a guaranteed ban to bot any skill, it just depends on when you will be banned.
The point is it's far more likely to be banned from an agility bot.

You don't seem to understand the words you're using. I know plenty of people who have botted without being banned.

 

[ashmund]

Or keep using them, and get banned, I mean less bots out there better for the rest of us.

Yeah, you can bot without being banned.
But when you bot you're always at risk of being banned, no matter the bot. You can get banned an hour into using it, you can get banned after 2 months of using it, depends on luck and the bot you're using e.g. if it's instanced it's harder to get banned using it. And from my experience, and what I've seen and heard from multiple people, agility bots are far easier to be banned from. You could bot for 1 hour and then stop and say you didn't get banned for botting, of course. My point is it's possible to get banned from any amount of time botting.

True, but I feel that it's my responsibility if a new botter is going to be banned to notify them about the likeliness of being banned from an agility bot.
