How does Jagex know whether or not you're RWTing or simply Swapping? Since Swapping isn't against their TOS, do people get mistakenly banned for RWT for simply swapping gold?
Its a possibility but I think they would check logins from your IP. So if you swapped 10M 07 on a different account they could check if another account logged into RS3 shortly after and was traded say 50M.
But I doubt they check IP for every Swap/trade...?
They don't distinguish between the two often. They tend to just focus on the big companies and big goldsellers. If you get caught up trading one of them when you're only swapping, you can be banned.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I always try not to trade Bogla/Won_gold :\
I havnt heard about anybody getting banned for buying/selling low amounts of gold, only if they have openly admitted it. Like there was some girl stream who said she had bought or sold 100m, and got a 2 week ban. I remember people being very mad that it wasnt a perm ban. After some while a jmod replied that little amounts doesnt grant a perm ban.
I wish i could remember the streams name, so i could dig up the post.
I am not sure how the differentiate it, but I have done both activities a shit load and have not been banned ever. So its safe to say the ban rate is very low for both swapping and rwt.
I think what happens is that when large amounts do occur they flag the accounts to be monitored, and then depending on the login IPs they can determine if its RWT or swapping.
(although they clearly messed up cause oakdice was banned for rwt!!!111)
Selling/buying gold isn't that hard to figure out. Also jagex isn't too concerned with the buyers. It's the companies that sell like bogla. You won't believe how much go runs through their accounts.
Anyways its not that hard to create an algorithm to tell the difference. There's a pattern for rwt and one for swapping. Not that hard I believe.
