I just got my account back from a 2 day temporary ban for bot busting moderate. Problem is, I have absolutely zero idea what I could have done that would qualify as being against the rules.
I play using the official (OSRS) Java client, thus also without plugins of any sort, using only keyboard and mouse as input, without key remapping of any kind, without any software that could generate inputs. I went through the Rules section on macroing, and there is nothing in there that comes even close to applying to how I play the game.
I have played this game for nearly 20 years, of which about half on this account and I'm rather concerned with losing it due to another offence (look up my OSRS stats and you'll understand). As such, I would also say I'm pretty familiar with the rules of the game and what is (not) allowed. Which adds to my confusion as to why I received the ban.
I don't really know what to do now, and playing the game normally feels like rolling the dice as I have no clue what caused the initial ban. I have already tried appealing the ban, but the appeal was denied and no evidence is shared so there is nothing I can learn from it.
Fun fact: I already received a permanent ban on this account for macroing about 4 years ago, which also has its appeal denied but then was mysteriously quashed 2 weeks later.
So bottom line: I'm just trying to find any means to figure out what caused the ban and/or how I can prevent it from happening again...
