i had a top 20 alt wcer get banned back in 2013 in osrs.
i appealed it like 2 months ago like, with comment i think you made a mistake.
yet they replied, we belive people change you can have your account back even tho there was clear evidence that the account was botted.

the account got no value to me today, it had value back then when everyone was trying to make money. im stil suprised that evidence said it was botted. i mean my main is from classic, if id be botting i should been banned long time ago.

Good. Glad to hear it. The truth is, no matter how you look at it, Alts are the damn new Bots in this game. And while you may not be using them in an illegal manner, they are viewed as such by the rest of the player base. They are invasive and solely exist to provide their owner an unfair advantage in the game. Now, apart from actually macroing, that to me is the very definition of botting.

So I'm thrilled to hear and see so many Alts now getting the boot. It's about freaking time. Of course, Jagex waited a good long while until they'd made their money from all those Alt accounts during Archaeology's release which was no surprise. The party's over though. Well, at least for now until the next big game release when Jagex again turns a blind eye to players using 5 to 20 Alts to support their main account.


Support.

It doesn't break the rules because those accounts are paid accounts which is all Jagex cares about. That those alt accounts are behaving like bots is what bothers many other players. Jagex didn't care because they were making money off them. The players cared because instead of dealing with one other player, they were dealing with upwards of a dozen or more per player that they were now expected to share resources with. And that IS an unfair advantage.

So, yes, I choose not to run alts because I do not believe them to be fair to others nor to myself. And yes, I get they take effort to play through and advance but they are all there to benefit just one main account. No matter how you try to justify it, it's cheating. Legalized and accepted by Jagex, but cheating nonetheless.

As for why they're getting banned now, LOL, I couldn't care less.

For all the effort put into managing and playing multiple alts, these players could max out each of their skills to 200m if they'd just focus on playing the game the way it was intended -- one player, one account.

These paid alt accounts ARE, for all intents and purposes, bots, even if actual players are devoting real time and effort into playing them. They are being used to do a specific purpose repeatedly while the main account is free to do other things. To me, that's the very definition of a bot.

Jagex does not mind this, of course, because these are paid accounts, but the actions, the specifics of how these alt accounts are being utilized nonetheless is still being flagged as suspicious by their algorithms and for understandable reasons.

I don't blame the players for this. They have been encouraged by Jagex to create these new accounts but now they are being punished for using those said accounts. I think it should serve as a wake-up call to everyone involved that maybe, just maybe, they should take another look at this entire idea.
