    Default botting clan banned...

    Jagex taking a stand...hmm

    Hi,

    Today we have banned a large number of accounts involved with self-titled “botting clans”. All of these accounts have been identified by our new data analysis tool and are 100% guilty of breaking our rules. These accounts have been permanently banned with no chance of appeal.

    As mentioned on the forums yesterday, expect more bans and punishments in the very near future.

    The use of bots will not be tolerated and will result in permanent action against any accounts found to have cheated in this way.

    I read a thread in the high level forum that they banned a lot of the top 200m xp hunter accounts that were all linked to a RS clan...

    How dumb could you be to have a massive amount of bots all in the same clan..SMH

    I think their tool is actually 9 P-Mods walking around Runescape, finding the obvious bots, and 1 P-Mod linking anything together between them. Whatever they share in characteristics means they can look for the same patterns in other accounts and make similar accusations; enough to earn a ban.

    Give one person from SRL the power to ban on-the-spot and that one person will have banned more bots in a day than Jagex will hope to in a year.

    I think somewhere its been confirmed that optimus isnt actually a nuke, but rather the "advanced bot detection system" that caught these bots. Optimus has actually been in effect for quite a while now.

    Damn, looks like ima take a break from botting on my nearly maxed and start slaying for the next week, see how this pans out. Not risking anything.
    Most likely their 'new tool' is a load of bull. I mean how hard is it to catch an entire CLAN of openly botting accounts?? But we'll see.

    I don't think sensible botters here have anything to worry about. As a lot of people think, those that were banned were likely to be a gold farming bot army that were obviously botting 24/7.

    We have just successfully identified and banned 101 high profile accounts, all whom had achieved over 150 million XP in Thieving and/or Hunter XP, mostly through the use of bots. As mentioned in last week’s “Bug Abusers Banned” news, thanks to a new way of analysing data we have been able to accurately seek out these high level offenders and take immediate action against them.

    Many thanks for helping us to identify them through your ingame reports.

    Expect lots more of this sort of action in the immediate future. The use of bots will not be tolerated and will result in permanent action against any accounts found to have cheated in this way.
