I was banned for botting while playing legit.... Need help getting back on

[Mala]

I know this seems very unlikely, but let me just say I was playing legitimately and have never, ever botted while playing RS, both on the EOC servers and these. I gain nothing from lying on an internet forum, but I desperately need some help.

So I was playing on the old servers yesterday, picking flax since I just started and I needed to make some money. About 10 minutes in, I was banned probably due to a J-Mod mass banning bots. Let me make it quite clear, I was not botting myself and was there for a small amount of time. I thought nothing of it, I'll just send an appeal and come back a couple of hours.

It's been over 40 hours and my appeal's been denied with no response from any of my emails to account help. Is there any way to contact a J-Mod ingame or something because this is quite ridiculous.

There must be some way to get back on. I didn't spend time and money on that account for nothing

Wait a second, did I not say I've never botted...?

but let me just say I was playing legitimately and have never, ever botted while playing RS, both on the EOC servers and these. .

Oh wait, I did. Stop accusing me of botting, this shit happened on zybez and rsof as well.


Also, it's been nearly 2 days and still nothing. Should I just spam all their customer support emails until one of them responds?

Seems strange, why would they ban someone without making sure they are botting first.

When they mass ban bots, they don't usually look at the logs or detection and just go for anyone who looks like they're botting and since it was a low level with no armour it fits the bill.

What was strange though was that there was no warning, nothing in the chat like they usually do. I noticed there were only like 2-3 bots which means they were definitely just targeting flax bots at the time.

Try parents@jagex and explain your situation, might be worth a shot.

Because they are lazy. It would cost them too much to find out who is actually botting, so they just ban everyone.

^ Dude if you work for jagex and know there system just un ban yourself ?

> Now look your account is gone, time to move on. You can contact through the parent member method and email jagex, you may get heard and they may look at your account. I doubt it, now you start again and this time bot so you can get those levels or quite play WOW/Maple Story/ hello Kitty.

Update: Apparently it's happened today to a lot of players at popular bot spots such as yews, catherby and flax.

It's also happened to some people questing and slaying, so it might be faulty bot detection as well. Loads of complains on the RS forums right now.

I've got banned for botting on 5 accounts.

That's your problem for botting. I wasn't though.

 

[Fendle]

Appealing to Jagex is like slamming your head against a wall. Frustrating, but just keep emailing them at the parents line and it should get sorted. If they really did mess up they might reconsider all the bans.

 

[Rampage-Penetrate]

I just got banned at yews. I was wearing full wizzy g, dragon axe, and was literally talking in a cc AND a friend when the ban hit, mid conversation, 0 botting on that account, ever. Up yours jagex.

 

[sith kid]

I've botted loads on my OSRS account, no problems. Just avoid mainstream stuff guys.

 

[Bow_0f_Mercy]

Damn Jagex!

This is the only response I've seen on the forums. This cunt sounds so fucking retarded - apparently he's not 'convinced' he's seen a legitimate player's account been banned.

Well, how about looking at accounts which people are complaining about? Jesus..
