I'm not sure where to post or where to reach out but I'm concerned about my account. I just got off of a 2 day ban for macroing, which I've never done on this account and only play through RuneLite. I'm still waiting on the appeal to be looked at so that I can have it take off my record. I've read where people get hit with another macro ban within hours of getting their account back so I'm worried about that happening currently. The last thing I was doing before I got hit with the ban was pking at the rev caves and I had heard that world hopping could possibly be setting off their bot detection? Has anyone else had this problem and had luck with the appeals or is it all automated? I really don't want to lose the progress I've made considering it's the furthest I've gotten in this game since returning 7 months ago on a fresh account. Any insight is appreciated!

well false bans will always happen, nothing is perfect especially when its humans involved we all make mistakes.

you hear about the ones that got banned shortly after. sure its a rare occurrence thats why it gets traction on reddit / twitter etc.


you say you got banned while world hopping. when you get banned it has nothing to do with what you are currently doing or what you had been doing recently. bans happen randomly (usually in bulk). so what triggered it happened most likely long before you were doing revs.
(its why there will be a surge in people complaining about bans on social media at a given time, and not be continual all the time)


everything that can be done has been done, and thats you sending an appeal to get it taken off your account as a mistake. its just waiting game now.

Well is shouldn’t be a regular occurrence. How are real players getting hit with bans and bots remain on the high scores in the top ranks for wilderness bosses. What’s the reasoning behind potentially permanently banning someone who genuinely plays the game? Is it how they want to keep money coming into the game? Seems fishy

they dont, perm bans get looked at a lot before the perm actually happens.
they dont just hand them out willy nilly


i cant really say anything in regards to your other post as im not jagex, all i can post is what they have given us. but you seem to be under the impression they dont ban bots, but they do. and in the millions that are correct. how many are wrong? that is the important part, if its 1 in 10 then thats bad, if its 1 in 10,000 then thats actually pretty good ( as again i repeat what i first said nothing is perfect nothing can be)

does it suck? yes of course, but these things happen its just maintaining it doesnt happen a lot.

It happens mate but my advice to you is this...

Be thankful it was only a temp and try to not allow it to engulf your life "I watched this completely take over a good friend of mines life back in 2015, May 26th, aprox 11:36am"

My friend had serious issues in letting this go and i had to sit back and watch this guy basically self destruct for almost 7 years after it happened..

Thankfully he finally learned how to overcome what he went through and he actually explained how he overcame it one friday night while he was slightly tipsy =)

He told me this - Fuck Jagex and what they did to me, nobody has the right to treat me the way they have, from this day i will continue to play this game exactly the same as i always have and i dare them to ever do that to me again, i bet they won't

So moral of this story - Forget it and if they did get it wrong, i guarantee it will never happen again =)

Much love

No never been banned. play with common sense. dont have hack tool you use for other offline games opened when you play online games. Wemod is a good example of this. I cheat in single player games for days. (Cry about it purists) i close wemod when i play multiplayer games, dont need no bans.

I've literally only played using RuneLite which is downloadable on their site. The appeal to get the short term ban off my profile was denied so it's bogus that they check. I've never botted on this account. All of my logged progress via Ru neLite screenshots can prove that. I might as well just stay out of the the wilderness if world hopping is going to cause issues with me getting labeled as a bot.

Obviously there's nothing I can do about that one. It is what it is. If i get randomly banned and hit with a perm next time will they actually investigate? I've been playing very little since the temp ban and just decided it's not worth the risk of playing too long on this account and I'm gonna avoid rev cav pking in the meantime as well.
