Hows this bot doing nowadays? Around a year ago I was permanently banned on my level 131 from it, but it did get me 99 Magic and a few magic bots.
Saying that no one has been banned following your so called "guidelines" is definitely not true.
Bot at your own risk..
** Also, most of the oldschool RID users will know this but, the owner of this bot, is a HUGE procrastinator..
Unce, I'm glad you posted.
Giving too much info about your RS account on Sythe is dangerous and a direct breach of guideline 2. Think about it, you used inferior versions of RID for 8 months no problem, yet within a couple of weeks of posting this thread, got banned:

You are dismissive labelling them "so called guidelines", but if you'd been aware and followed this guideline, you would not have been banned.
I can cut you some slack, because the guidelines weren't released at that time. It took us by surprise. You were banned simultaneously, with 2 other regulars on the old RID thread, who were also selling 99 magic accounts on Sythe at the time (credoviolin, and I forget the other). If you want to bot again, I recommend familiarising yourself with the guidelines, and following the steps in guideline 4.
Since Magic Training 4, there has never been a player who followed the guidelines banned, that may be hard to believe but it's a fact. This is what sets RID apart from your average bot.
Guideline 1, has become more important (the number of bans for guideline 1 went from 0 to 5, over the last 6 months) but it's not the case if you bot more than 8 hours a day you will be banned, just that you become at risk. The chance of being banned for guideline 1, after any day of excessive botting is only 0.5%.
In software development you start off with one big job, which ends up becoming lots of little jobs, so deadlines are inherantly hard to predict. I'm ambitious with targets and there is no compromise on quality, so will take any extra time needed to achieve them. It may come across as procrastination, but much higher budget software projects than RID get delayed, and when they have deadlines, can hire more programmers. RID is more of a creative and specialised project, I have to do all the work on RID personally, and it often takes a long time, but I'm a firm believer you reap what you sow, good things come to those who wait, etc. The new bot (which should be released on 30th August), has been a long time in the making, but wait till you see it! It is expected to again push the boundaries, of what people thought was possible in RS botting.
Don't worry Xcon444, Al-Kharid smithing is going to get an update too.
