We have just banned over 15000 accounts from the main RuneScape game for breaking rule 7, and attempting to use software to play the game automatically for them.

We can detect this type of cheating VERY easily. Suprisingly some people seem to think they can get away with this, but we're making absolutely sure you can't.

As well as having new systems to detect people cheating in this way, we are also using a new system to go through and ban other accounts used by these cheats, so they can't just cheat on a 'throwaway' account they don't care about, and expect their other accounts to be unaffected.

We will not let cheats spoil our game for everyone else. It's just not fair on our millions of legitimate players to let a selfish few try and spoil the game for everyone else.

lol i was reading that the other day haha

 

[Stormrulz72]

lol, Jagex always writes that stuff

 

[Alex-Kell]

For me that's sufficient proof that this new update means nothing.

 

[Sindrefyrn]

Lol, I got like 50 accounts banned and that didn't affect my main at all.

 

[Jimmy]

Bahahahahahahaha!

Aryan mass-bans...classic.

"We can detect this type of cheating VERY easily."
That part was true about Aryan- deobbs were easily detectable and still are, but the following paragraphs are just more nonsense that they'll never fulfill.

All this update was, was a small scare tactic targeted at all the leeching noobs who use rsbot. Perhaps BCEL is detectable, now? Even if it is, you can just reflect upon that data, and be fine.

For me that's sufficient proof that this new update means nothing.

I remember

 

[Skele]

Yeah I remember, just another thread they post, they posted a ton of these, but they usually follow up with a mass ban and hope that they scared enough people.

 

[SwiftSeller]

Wow yea, they've done a great job on me? NOT. I've only lost 1 account to them

 

[Xombi]

Hahaha, finally everyone is getting it. Bluff called.

 

[Pray switchin nub]

Theyre just bsing lmao

 

[pp2p xiao1122]

They're just going at how professional they are.

 

[jeckyll jeckyll hyde]

Do you reckon jagex just made the banned 15000 ppls up or is it true?

 

[pizza_kille]

They're just going at how professional they are.

edit wrong quote.

 

[Legit-Boy]

Everytime they make a new macro detection program, the cheating community makes another undetectable bot . This is very good competition! Just that we're always ahead of them by 1 step

 

[Classic Runescaper]

He there is a famialer thread like that on the main page right now lmao and i remember reading that exact thread 4 years ago good times, and i was botting as i was reading lulz

 

[snoker]

Lmfao..
jagex still fails! due to much more botting going on now a days.
like RSbot for example lolz

 

[asianthugboy]

15k accounts is nothing. Lol a friend has a 100 accounts to himself so that says a lot. I still say they messed up RSBot though.

 

[wcer2552]

lol ive still been botting...NO BAN!

 

[BuyerOfNames]

Rofl at the second paragraph!
