Ban Rates

I'm just curious about the ban rate differences between an account with membership and a F2P account.

What are your experiences with this? Do you hand play it for a bond and then start botting? Or do you just use a credit card to purchase membership?

 

So literally no one has any experiences over ban rates?

 

F2P is way way higher bann rate & easier to trace.
Use membership redeem cards if you want to make them member "safely"

 

Exactly how does the membership affect ban rates?

 

As a f2p account you have limited options in what to bot due to having less moneymaking methods and NPC's etc. This makes it easier to check for F2P bots for the OSRS team. Also from personal experience I can tell that F2P bots get banned faster/more often

 

Thanks for your input. I always thought it was an automated system that catches bots rather than an actual team.

 

Pretty sure its a combination of both lol.

 

Fair enough, but if that were the case, I'd assume that the ban rates would be relatively equal between membership and F2P accounts.

 

If you want the truth its probably more automated than staff for hardcore botting cases why members is lower ban rates is because those members are paying jagex money and they have to run a company and turn a profit, If they flat out banned ALL bots they would lose a huge amount of revenue. Jagex will never tell you that but its the truth and works both ways on both games. They know they will always be bots, but they have membership sales and micro transaction sales they have to think about too. Even some J mods have been caught up in the RWT transactions. The automated bot detecting software is quiet advanced now and can see what every player is doing....this should prove my point they are seeing bots on both sides and choosing to ban fewer members, Members also are more prone to be given a warning or temp ban instead of a perm one. $$$$$$

 

Damn. Preach the truth man. Thing is it's probably all true.

 

Thinking about it again though, I can see that's definitely true, when I see accounts being sold, I often times will see a macro or not busting ban. And guess what? It's never permanent!

 

Yeah man its all about the $ no matter what. If you're gonna bot at least they are gonna make you pay to do so lol.
