I would suggest trying other clients, the issue may be that tribot is/was detectable. I'd suggest osbot/tribot.
osbot is more detectable and i had an account bot through the ban wave
Banrate seems to be about the same between most bots in my experience.
All 7 of my woodcutting bots, and my main account got banned today. The gold farming bots got permed, and my main got a one year ban, gutted, haha.
Did you ever bot on the main, at all?
I assume you traded gold/goods between your main and farm, but did this for a while before getting caught?
What type of ban did your main yet, RWT or botting?
:'( Sorry to hear you got a main banned, that always sucks.
Your accounts were most likely picked up as a bot soon after you started running it. They observe the behavior of the bots to improve their system before banning them. Sounds like these bans were scheduled.
Is the reward worth it if the risks are too high?
I don't subscribe to the theory of any major bot client (at least currently/for RS07) being intolerantly detectable.
However yes, bans do happen on a schedule, I believe aftternnon in UK time on Tuesdays is when bans typically happen (something like that).
Not much you can really do to prevent this, other than to get lucky and just not leave your bots on for just as long. But then again, major money isn't made without major risk.
Really depends on what you think is worth it. If higher chance of getting banned is worth higher profits, then so be it. But the sad part is that these ban waves happen so often that the risk sometimes isn't even worth it.
This. Anytime you bot, you run a potential risk of getting banned.
As for them all getting banned at once, this happens to people too, Jagex uses some sort of info (believe to be at least IP address, maybe more) to link your accounts and ban them all at once, however this doesn't necesarily mean a ban-wave happened.
If Jagex is ever purposely doing some sort of ban wave/mass banning, trust me, you'll hear about it via a post on the official Runescape site, Jagex likes to show the public/legits all of their efforts against botting.
There been a "ban wave" since the introduction of Jagex anti-bot system.
Bascially yeah, ban rates have just been high overall recently, but no waves/mass bans have happened recently, just normal botting bans for people botting.
Try using different IPs/Proxies on each account (or group of accounts) next time, and maybe even different machines or VPSs for each and see if that helps at all. Or just expect/account for the bans, and profit before them, and repeat the cycle.
