my theory is they can't catch you. Just try to make people scared and stop real world trading... Never banned for that rule and never heard anybody being banned for that. (exept rs2pleasent, bet his name trapped hisself :s)
Hi guys,
You will hopefully by now have read the front page post lovingly written by Andrew regarding macro accounts and real world item traders (if you'd like to make a comment, whisk yourself on over to QFC 7-8-225-43302266 and be heard!).
In the forum post I also mentioned that I'd be sending you a message to let you know how you guys can further help the good fight. Well, yes, this is that message!
Ok, to do this we're going to make a couple of changes. I know how much you all like a bit of change so read on....
The first change is to surgeries. The plan is to cut the time surgeries take from one hour to half an hour as of next week. The aim is to make surgeries a bit more efficient and make the most of the time we have whilst there. Unfortunately this will inevitably mean that we won’t have so much time for chatting, hitting each other with rubber chickens and welcoming new arrivals to surgery in between questions. We are really quite fond of that though and so aside from team based meetings, we’ll be holding weekly get togethers to ensure that you still have the opportunity to beat Howes with your chicken, shout ‘meep’ at Conor and generally hassle Marvin in any way you see fit.
So what are we going to do with the hour and a half hour we’ll save? Close more reports? Answer more tickets? Make even more coffee? Tell Hohbein to shut up an extra twenty times? Nope, as you've probably guessed, we’re going to spend our time even more wisely than that!
As you've already read, we'd like to spend more time dealing with the auto training macro bots in RuneScape. Our ICU team are very effective at removing macro operated accounts but we appreciate that some of you find the time it takes to remove these anti-social scallywags a little frustrating. That’s why we’re going into bot busting mode! Yep, you’ll be able to get in touch with us to alert us to the presence of bots at the magic trees, afk-ers behind Varrock castle and any other in-human macro activity going on in the community. Sound good? Course it does!
The details still need to be ironed out but essentially, via a live help thread you’ll tell us the location and world of macro families so that we can zap ourselves straight over to you, check the accounts with our back-end tools and take them out in real time. You’ll then have the pleasure of watching these accounts disappear before your very eyes!
This will help us to send a clear visual message to the surrounding players and to the herberts who create these accounts and will also hopefully lower your blood pressure levels a little bit!
There will be an article in this week’s news detailing a few more hows? and whens? and as ever, we're keen for you to give us your thoughts. So, whoop for joy, persuade a J-mod to make me a coffee and hey, why not have a bit of cake? After all, everybody loves a bit of cake, except bots of course.
Meh!

i heard from an Ex J mod that jagex is actually a little smarter than i give them credit for. Lets say player A and player B make a trade where player A gives player B 50mil. That trade will then be flagged and if they see player A giving more people money then it will be looked into more and then banned\w.e. punishment. Now I have already thought of that and never do direct trades for large sums of money wether its giving to friends or to my pure. However, another method that i have used for p2pers is u coming in my house, i lock the portal and i drop the money. Un reportable since no1 else can enter the house and be a witness however, what this mod has told me is that jagex will notice a sudden influx of money into ur account. for example; ipwnu suddenly gets 50mil at 8:08 am est. Looking into it deeper. iownu drops 50mil at coordinate XX, XX at 8:07am est, and then at 8:08 at coordinate XX, XX ipwnu picks the money up=flagged invistigated->banned\w.e.
Not saying that what i have just stated is 100% true accurate or always happens but just throwing this information out there for you [whomever reads\cares] to decipher.
