I was banned for botting in December 2012. I submitted an appeal but I knew it would take forever for them to view it, so I decided I would email them. It's official now. This was Jagex's response:

Thank you for the email you sent regarding your account. Our specialist guys have reviewed your account for you and they have concluded that macroing plus other offences did take place and this, unfortunately, means you will remain banned.

We know how frustrating this is and understand that you are upset by the decision but we have to be consistent and fair to all of our players, letting the account back in game would not be fair to anyone. We wish we could help you further in this situation but unfortunately we can’t give the account back.

Try to see this from our point of view; we have a huge community in game and players who work hard all day levelling up their accounts, if we were to let players who have broken the game rules go back into game it would not give a good impression to the players who abide by our rules. I am sure you have read the rules and know we do not accept macroing under any circumstances, think of this as a chance for you to learn and realise that sometimes in life you have to play by the rules or don’t play at all. Please don’t take it personally.

We would be delighted if you would like to continue to play our game on a new account, please remember we are watching and macroers will always be caught! I personally, would always recommend having another look at our rules/terms & conditions etc as they may have changed since the last time you looked and contain some useful tips.

I’ll be honest with you, the majority of the time when this sort of thing occurs the player will continue to email us requesting the same thing or get their parents to email us. Let me speak from experience, it never works! We will not change our decision as it has been reviewed more than once already. We value all our players and always want to be available to help you when you need us, so please don’t put us in a situation where we feel we need to disregard your emails.

I hope you understand our decision, I have tried my very best to let you know exactly what has happened on our end and I hope you can appreciate that. I hope you have a fantastic day and if you need help on anything non-macro related, I am only an email away.

Thanks for your time.

As ever, we always love to hear from players – so let us know if we can help further – or check out our Wiki!!!

tl;dr: Don't bot on an account that is valuable to you--its just not worth it.

Like I'm ever going to make another account from scratch as Mod Pheby suggests I do...Those were some of the best (and worst) 8 years of my life though. I'm just happy I achieved the goal I've been dreaming of ever since the first day I played, which was maxing and beating the game.

I just thought I'd try to warn you guys so the same thing doesn't end up happening to you =)
 
Ehh, now you can kill your runescape addiction after 8 years :D They did you a favor :P

Some pretty bad luck, did you get banned in the Idung bannings or something? I've been working on max cape and have yet to receive a ban.

Also, what's their email for issues such as this?

Exactly what I'm thinking lol

I botted pretty much every skill, but the one of the few skills I did't bot was dung. Just be careful haha and if you must bot, limit the amount of hours you run it for.

Also I just emailed them at [email protected]. They responded in 4 days--much faster than the standard appeal process they have people use.

Why would anyone bot on their main that they've worked on for years? Bit of a silly decision don't you think? Comp accs always get checked.

I had been botting on/off my main for at least 2.5 years--nothing happened. It's not like I recently started to bot on it. And I don't think your last statement is true. I know many people who bot Cwars/MA on their comp accs. Nothing has happened. Yet.

I don't have any sympathy for you, you were fully aware that botting was against the rules but you continued doing it. I play legit and also maxed, my problem with botters is that they become pathological liars and cannot be honest to any of their friends and just make up fantasy stories about how they trained or worked hard.. It's absurd.
 
"think of this as a chance for you to learn and realise that sometimes in life you have to play by the rules or don’t play at all. Please don’t take it personally"

Lol the arrogance of Jagex / hypocrisy here is delightful.
