High-Profile Accounts Banned

[Megadeth]

Go to the official Runescape forums General section and check out the new sticky there. Jagex has banned some high-profile dicing accounts along with their mules.

It's about damn time, Jagex :p

[Footy]

Is dicing breaking any rules? I thought it was frowned apon, but never a bannable offence...

stokenut, winallday and smokin mils have all been banned for RWTing

[Jos3ph]

Its about time; hopefully the market can pick up.

But even still their are high ranked members in the dicing clan that would need to be banned too before they can actually target the dicing scene.

[Le Jingle]

I hope somebody makes a vid/good list about the big shots in addition to stokenut/winallday being banned. Glad the spam bots will hopefully slow down (saying with uncertainty)?

[LemonHaze]

Srsly all those banns make me scared...

[eska]

Srsly all those banns make me scared...

Are you goldfarming and near 200m xp in the skill you use to gold farm?
Have you put all your bots in the same clan?
Have you been selling a *lot* of runescape gold recently?

If the answer is no, there isn't much to fear. They got banned because they didn't 'blend in' with the legit players like we do here at villavu.

[LemonHaze]

^ I haven't, but they clearly stated that their bot detection system is much improved.

[Jos3ph]

^ I haven't, but they clearly stated that their bot detection system is much improved.

If you dont mess with their market prices; they won't mess with your accounts.

What it means; we won't ban you if you auto as long as you blend in with the rest of the other players... But once you start to stick out we'll have to drop the ban hammer...

[CephaXz]

^ I haven't, but they clearly stated that their bot detection system is much improved.

Nah. My bots have been using MoveMouse and ClickMouse botlike functions without getting banned yet for months.

They've been saying that for a decade. I'm not even exagerating.

Oh wow they're stepping up now!

I agree with him, most people are hypocrite and jealous. Just look at the comment section. He made 50k IRL with this. No one would let that opportunity pass, yet because they didn't get the chance to, they believe they have the moral high ground.

I'd do exactly what he did if I had the chance to.

Not a chance. Do you even know how much each of those dicer traded everyday? It was 1-2b every single day, and it took jagex over a year to figure it out.

Your 30m is a drop in the ocean.

[CephaXz]

^ I agree with him too. Well, its good for me if GP prices goes up. I need to survive my uni life.

What surprised me is that his video had more dislike than views lol.

Youtube always locks up at 301 views for some reason. And all those dislike are from butthurt legit who didn't get the chance to make 50k while playing a game.

Edit: I'm going to subscribe to him for the lulz see how things goes.
Edit2: Lulz he is losing about 5 subscribers/minute

[Benny]

Damn so should I buy a little bit more GP :P

Just to tide things over?

[Jos3ph]

my god if he didnt repeat his self 20 times over an over again I'd have thought it could have been 3mins shorter with out all the repeating...

[Neznam]

Cool I guess they are finally doing something about this.

[Silentcore]

This means accounts are going to slowly start disappearing and Market prices are going to go back to normal anytime soon.

[Jos3ph]

Sadly it wasnt rocket science for those who were breaking the rule...It blows my mind that they would invest in so much technology to detect dicers but wont ban the gold farmers that are killing hide and drag bone prices.

It is very obvious that there are a lot of bots at drags / chins / RC'ing / technically any world you go to their are tons of bots. Save your high talk about this bot nuke and put your staff on sever hop status and pop these suckers who are autoing...

The difference between those autoing at drags and those who were dicing is; one makes 50k a month and the other makes 12$ a week...

On the flip side of things, I use to legitly make money with drags and I cant do that anymore since the market is so up side down & cant compete with the amount of bots that are at the drags.

[P1nky]

Good bye Win All Day & Fishy :)
Finalllay!

[Jos3ph]

Good bye Win All Day & Fishy :)
Finalllay!

I read on the RS forums that fishy wasnt one of them banned...The one's whom were banned were behind the mass RS gp selling...So technically they could gamble but not be banned, but if you sold gp to a high level amount you'll be banned so to speak...

[P1nky]

True Fishy atm isn't banned :( sigh..

[Jos3ph]

True Fishy atm isn't banned :( sigh..

I'd bet that he's going to be banned in time; quickly going to sell the gp off when the prices spike up. But even then I'd say that free trade being removed would stop the gamblers but wont stop RWT...

[Mjordan]

How much were one of these high profile dicing players making a month? Anybody have an estimate?

[Le Jingle]

Judging from stokenuts yt video about being banned, I'd estimate about $4k USD / month (he said something about past 18 months = dicing, totaling 80-90k USD?)

[Footy]

Wow, thats a full paying occupation right there! Must be a massive blow to them...

[Rincewind]

Is dicing breaking any rules? I thought it was frowned apon, but never a bannable offence...

I think gambling uses trust trading which isn't allowed afaik

The reason everyones getting banned more easilyis being Jagex has been so lax the past couple of months no one cared or thought they were in any possibility of getting banned. Looks like thats changing (good or bad, idk)

[eska]

Trust trading is allowed, but must not be advertised on the runescape official forum.

[Mjordan]

Holy tits man that's ridiculous, seriously. I didn't imagine it was anywhere near that much.

[Divus]

Its going to be interesting to see the future bans to come.

[Joe]

Botting will soon be like masturbating.
The only way you won't get caught is by doing it alone in a secluded area at night.

I dont know, i think if you were to go to LRC you would blend in quite well...

[Flight]

I for one am glad to see this. I might go browse Sythe and see if there's many flames there.

[bluez]

reading shit like this puts another nail in the rs coffin

[satkan]

Well, jagex can always come and give me the banned gold.

Wow.... thats simply boggles my little mind.....

[Solitude]

^ I haven't, but they clearly stated that their bot detection system is much improved.

By improved they mean that they scanned the high scores for hunters with 200m XP and a name akin to qccqqqxqc :duh:

The only people banned so far have had 200m XP skills and were still botting that skill, were in a self proclaimed botting clan or actively advertised / involved with RWT.

I wouldn't think that the average player is at risk - hell, i've recently got my max cape and have been botting ~15+ hours a day since 1950 overall for it.

Straight up shit right there ^

So much this, been playing since 2002. Nothing new.

i really hope channel 4 gets his ass kicked off this game... he freaking dosed me in a 6b stake!

[Benny]

Little update from a Mod re botting:


20-Aug-2012 10:56:24
Hey Thargo,

We've had some discussion on our end about heading into game in force and banning bots. Ultimately it is self defeating as those leading the bot teams will just adjust their tactics and make new bots. Due to this the dev team is looking for a more permanent solution that will impact all of the bot'ers at the same time. As you can imagine we can't go into too much detail or give a timeframe as it would be giving bot'ers information on what we are planning as well.

I doubt Fishy is going to get banned . He bought like 1000 Spins to get his Max Cape LOL

[Joe]

Good for him. I would scam some idiot stupid enough to stake 6b.

[shstiger2009]

Hahaha omg Joe. That's not nice!

But I would never stake 6B. Omg...haha.

[Chris Reborn]

Hes on youtube and was on rs friends list, we staked all the time so he could get clips etc... I didnt think he dosed people considering id never heard anyone at the duel arena say to watch out for him likethey say to watch for others...

[gooddiubro]

They did say it is a "data analysis tool".

[Peanuts]

Hahaha omg Joe. That's not nice!

But I would never stake 6B. Omg...haha.

Somtimes you gotta be a little mean to show people how stupid they were.


I think if jagax had new detection systems..
You'd be banned a lot sooner before you reached 200m xp...

[wister1]

their new detectin system has a name, common sense, and the new hardware is a couple jagex mods looking through the highscores for names like iiilllliilllliii and aghhsgfdfah, good choice much better than their old system

What I don't get is why the goldfarmers don't just start naming their bots names like x1ranger73xl or some more legit name than adfsadswdasa...

[Deni_mulic]

You could say that about what powerbot scripts do.

Just buzz words, nothing more.

Perhaps they just let scripts make those names.

Random generated names are pretty lame like that.

I bet it wouldn't be any harder to have it add in an actual word from a big list then what they do now and have similar looking letters

[Wyn]

Their new detection software is full of shit.

Only banning the obvious.

[Sir Ducksworthy]

Gold prices should rise a bit in the next month or so then :)

[Vinyl Scratch]

^ Good. Bro, Ducks, get on skype!

[gooddiubro]

Oh, its not buzz words.
It does exactly what it says.
It does not disable bots or detect by action.

[Zeds]

Win all day stormed a virus in her gold selling website when he got banned. I think she's mad... (and yes she is a girl)
