[1/5]This is long. There is much to discuss.
"Account temporarily banned for macroing in RuneScape."
Actually, two accounts were banned at the same time. I've invested far too much in these to risk a ban. Both are high level, both as secure as the game lets me make them. Both having spent a costly amount to unlock cosmetics and to play the lotteries with keys and spins to get uniques and skilling aids. Both having spent considerable real world time grinding, by hand, no automation employed, even if available.
Now, two accounts were banned at the same time, but I have another that wasn't. Why those two?
"Our macro detection system has been monitoring your account closely and has detected that you are using illegal 3rd party software which violates the rules of the game and breaches your terms of service with Jagex."
I know what macro recorders/players are and have used them in other applications. These were not "botting apps for game 'X'." There might be an archive copy of such a program on my NAS backup, though the last computer I used that on and the apps I used it for are years gone by now. I have not had even the need to look for updated versions and no computer I've played Runescape on for years has had any such thing installed. The second banned account wasn't even at member status until after the computer and software in question were shelved.
I have not ever used in Runescape/for playing Runescape illegal 3rd party software which violates the rules of the game or breaches my terms of service with Jagex.
All the key presses, all the mouse moves and clicks, all the touchscreen taps and drags, on each and every computer, tablet, and phone I've played on, were mine and not the output of any macro app.
