This happened about a month ago. My friend was quite new to Runescape, and after several days of playing, he quit. A few days later, maybe around 4 days he logged in. I texted him and of course, he didnt answer. The account kept being logged in for around 10-15 minutes per world, then log into another world. I managed to track him down at the Edgeville Furnace where it was easy to see it was a bot making cannonballs. When I finally managed to speak to him in Teamspeak, he told me he had quit Runescape and haven't played it for a while. When he tried to log into his account, there was an authenticator and therefore couldn't get in. He wrote to Jagex support and got his account back. It had like 4 days of membership left (I think the account got 7 days free membership somehow). I don't see why and how he should be botting in Runescape, so if it isn't a lie, this could probably happen to many other accounts.

This is so weird and coincidental to see this video today. Apparently, I have an account on osrs and the email for it only consists out of numbers only (it's one of my junk e-mails). In the last 3 months I've received 4 different mails from jagex with a password reset request, this morning I got another one and decided to actually change the password. Now where this gets even more interesting is I don't remember ever creating an account on that e-mail. So when I logged in to the account today, after actually resetting the password because I had no idea what it could be, the account was still at the tutorial island spawn. It seems as if someone created an osrs account on one of my random e-mails but never logged in on it. Super weird and coincidental with this video because it indeed seems as if they are creating accounts on e-mails they don't own and sometimes on e-mails that are actually owned by other people.

Actually AHK bots are undetectable and it's due to the addition of the mobile clients. You used to have the ability to determine pretty easily if a player was using a (simple) AHK bot because the cursor would be teleporting around all over the place but now it's indistinguishable from a touch event. The reason the bot you mentioned got banned was almost certainly due to the hours it was being played.

[@applejooce4856]

Some hotkey / macro programs can be setup to not teleport the mouse, but instead simulate an actual movement with multiple movements, and they let you select an area to click, rather than it being the same pixel everytime. So you can select the area of the inventory slot, and every time it clicks it'll be a different spot within the inventory tile, the same with clicking on a bank, withdrawing items etc. Which if they are detecting scripts via just the same precise inputs being repeated this does subvert that a decent amount

[@Blucario90]

AHK is actually very easy to use, I actually use it on minecraft servers to farm items, since its really that easy. I don't use it for Runescape since I don't play it often at all, but just know that it would not be hard for any person to make an AHK script to farm for them.

[@ollie-d]

A clarification on your AHK script segment: only the dumbest people create bots that click on the exact same pixels. It's rudimentary to create an area to click in. You can select random points within that area. Lower ban rates if you use Gaussian. Jagex does not ban based off of mouse movement, only click patterns. They can detect mouse movement and can detect whether or not clicks are hardware or virtual clicks, but this seems to have very little effect. Color-bots that follow the above rules are banned considerably less frequently than reflection and injection bots. Reflection ban rates are most likely lower now that 3rd party clients are the norm and you can reflect off Runelite without raising any flags. Mobile bots are the lowest ban rate and if you write your own scripts you're almost guaranteed not to get banned. You can even violate the clicking exact pixel rule from my testing since being on a mobile device seems to be enough to deter auto detection since Jagex was probably worried about getting false positives and deterring new mobile players.

[@user-zu1ix3yq2w]

Can't recall ever seeing any proof of the idea that the Gaussian pattern reduces ban rates but I know its been used for well over a decade. Jagex probably has a visual heatmap of clicks or something, so I could imagine its true in practice and not just theory.

[@djrapinitup]

[@CrippledMerc]

You mentioned AHK and how typically those style bot scripts go to the same pixel for the same action each time, but you can actually program it to click within a certain area of pixels. I’m not a programmer, but I did learn a little bit about AHK scripting many years ago when Diablo 3 came out. I wasn’t actually using any scripts to bot, I was using them to automate stuff like quick gear and skill changes, though that is still against Blizzard’s ToS I believe. Similar to RS, the inventory has square tile-like slots, so I would write the scripts to click within a certain area at random, and the area would basically be just a smaller square I designated in each inventory slot. So say if the slot is actually 200x200 pixels, I would tell it to click anywhere with 100x100. It’s been a long time since I’ve written any scripts for anything and I’ve basically forgotten all I learned. I honestly wish I still remembered how to write some simple scripts because they’re incredibly handy for tons of different games, even when you aren’t using them to gain any advantage. For example, I would write simple scripts to repeat certain key inputs at 5 times per second so that I didn’t have to spam a key on my keyboard and wear out my keys, I could just hold the key down and it would repeat the input. You can actually do this in windows settings but you can’t make it do it for specific keys, it just does it for any key press. I would make all sorts of handy little shit like that. Now that I’m really thinking about it, I kinda want to start reading up on the language again so I can make some stuff for other games I’m playing. Quality of life stuff though, not cheating type stuff lol. Great video though!

[@emmapulman6739]

Theres always bots in the Hosidius Kitchen filling up jugs of water right next to the bank chest. Always find several level 3s on different worlds that stand there for hours doing it

[@ninjai5527]

regarding the AHK scripts, most do not click the same pixel the whole time. you can write the script to click within a box of pixels in a certain area, which is what a lot of these bots do, to make it more humanlike. also, a lot of the scripts don't "teleport" the mouse. you can add mouse curves, or even make the mouse reach certain "gravitational points" where you want the cursor to travel to before reaching the target pixel box. and it's not really that hard to create your own script to do this.

The point of ahk scripts are that they are so simple to randomize the clicks in that finding them is difficult

[@SearingLlama]

The less actions per tick required to do the action makes it harder to detect boting. I have a large amount of experience using auto clicker to play RS3 and I've auto clicked over 5 99s using various afk methods in game (Harps, Swarm Fishing, Mining post-rework) as well as event methods (summoning 99-xmas event, dungeon/herb/agility 99-Summer Skill-off) all without being banned. I have however gotten softbans while doing things like fletching arrows and teleport spamming. This is in Rs3 at that, which has better bot detection then OSRS (Jagex has confirmed this).

[@Multiplex55]

AHK does not need to teleport the mouse btw. You can totally allow the mouse to move from point to point just as if you move the mouse with your hand without teleporting. You can also randomize clicks in within area with randomized sleeps within a range. I highly doubt the scripts that he makes are simply move from here to here and click with no deviation at all.

Pretty sure in AHK you can make it so your clicks aren't always at the same pixel, you can have quite a bit of variance. Hard to detect besides accounts that are running for longer periods of time without breaks.

Well, technically, he didn't hack into the accounts. He was just reclaiming the RS account that belongs to his new email address...

[@hashtagtwo2023]

I'd argue it's hacking. Not your run-of-the-mill Matrix-screen hacking, but in some way social hacking.

[@mannisingh4950]

its called social engineering hacking... so yes it is hacking.

I was doing The Knight's sword and bumped on those mugger killers. As a returning player it is sad to see more bots than players in the free worlds.

[@Ap0Kal1ps3]

AHK scripts can be made to have random integers around the area of clicking, so it doesn't click the same pixel every time. It's a powerful programming tool, and if you can think of the math behind something, you can do it with AHK. I've used it to avoid logging out in other MMOs that had anticheat by making the script click on different parts of the screen every 1-14 minutes. Since it was so random when the button would be pressed, their anticheat would never catch me unless I left it running for too many days.

This felt like a news story/weather forecast. It's comical to see this never ending battle which probably does net Jagex a decent profit,

[@MrBa143]

Tbf, new players get the feeling of populated worlds, while Jagex makes money from P2P Bonds, and botters continue because they make money. Its a win win.

[@dawn-blade]

Is it possible Jagex doesn't enforce anything because each account is a paying member? It's $11 per account. That adds up.

[@PapaYosif]

so where do u keep coins on the ridge wallet?

[@ericswenson3197]

He must’ve signed up for hundreds of email addresses lol

[@jbillion]

The reason these suicide bots stay up for 2 weeks is because Jagex issues ban waves, they very rarely will ban accounts as soon as they're detected. If they banned them instantly it would give the botters a HUGE edge in beating their anti-bot system. Essentially they could run trials on what trips the system and isolate certain aspects of their code that does. Doing ban waves makes it much more ambiguous and time consuming.

[@xfactor529]

You can get pretty crafty with ahk. You can script it to move the mouse in an arc to vaguely mimic a more human mouse movement. You can also vary/randomize where the mouse clicks each time so it’s less obvious

Jager cannot detect which pixel a person clicks on. In order to identify every single pixel the player clicks, i imagine it would take a lot of processing strength to catalogue every single one

[@handsomelarsandhisfabulousjars]

Ahk bots are sometimes called color bots and they are very hard to detect because of the way they operate, detecting pixel color combinations on the screen to navigate the game. It's similar to the way alt1 toolkit works

[@johngalbreath9394]

Dunno if anyone else has noticed bots north of the fairy ring south of Tai Bwo Wanna but it's usually just a bunch of bots standing around with Dramen Staff. They all have 70+ fishing

[@erikmoore9966]

Hey Pugger is there anything you can do about the iron mining bots at varrok?

[@skramzrave]

Ahk scripts usually will click randomly in a rectangle of pixels or click on highlighted tiles by using color detection, or image detection. Also AHK is used for legitimate reasons all the time, its not just for cheaters.

the only problem with judging bots based on mouse teleporting across screen are touch screens and mobile apps where that is the only type of input.

I gotta say I usually never even acknowledge paid ads but the Ridge wallets/clips are actually sweet. They're really good and worth it. I got mine before I started seeing them advertised on KZbin and I guess all I'm trying to get at is you should very much consider your next wallet as a Ridge and to support your favorite KZbin creator use their code. A ton of partnerships with them if if your favorite doesn't just use whoever your most favorite is that is partnered with them. Y'know or don't I just wanted to put it out there that its actually a legit product which we all know a majority aren't. They're either a scam altogether, shit or average when advertised as being incredible. Which is exactly why people have become weary of paid advertising products. Its kinds depressing when you see your favorite content creators advertising for absolutely shit products but hey I know some pay very well and I'd probably do it too if the money was good enough and based on some of the things people have come out to say the partnerships can pay boat loads of money especially to a popular channel. If you've made it this far and read my rambling I thank you, apologize for subjugating you to my rambming and wish you a wonderful day/night.

[@shenron4]

there is a bot farm north of lumbridge just next to the hops patch training thieving on farmers. all of them have variarions of the same name as well as similar outfits

[@Remmeeee]

So I have experience making bots, and one thing that most beginning selfscripted botters know these days is that a teleporting cursor can be detected but cant be used against bots because some people are handicapped and play the game using programms to make their cursor teleport using hotkeys for example, or using eye controlls. Jagex as one of few supports the use of this for the handicapped people out there. So teleporting cursors are not used in detecting bots anymore.
