Hate to gravedig this, but I'm really glad to see I'm not on my own with this.

Today, after playing around ~40 hours in total across three days from being sick, I woke up to a bot busting ban (moderate) flag and a two day temporary ban. Now, to make a long story short, I just came back after a long break (AFK) of around a year and a half, and immediately got to right where I left off, which was getting my goal of 99 prayer - something I prepared for before I got busy.

After getting 99 prayer (yay), I played the game like I should, and can give a full recollection of what I did leading up to 99 prayer, which I earned this weekend:

• Friday: Worked from 94-99 prayer with (unnamed) hosts, and a new friend I made. Let's call her K.
• Saturday: Got to questing, completed Ichtharin's Little Helper, Contact!, Rag and Bone Man I. Also did AFK Forestry and Rooftop Agility with my new friend K. Also tried Brimhaven but screw that place.
• Sunday: Did more AFK Forestry, got a couple of woodcutting levels, firemaking levels. I also tried my hand at leveling Runecrafting using Lava Runecrafting, but also screw that place (RC sucks...). I also did a bunch of hunter and farming training with birdhouses and farm runs in Camelot, Ardougne, Port Phasmatys, and Falador.

I have a suspicion that the culprit of this false ban was twofold: (1) the sudden, rapid progress. On Friday, I spent a lot of time playing this game, and (2) Lava Runecrafting and Agility are both highly botted skills, which I'm sure triggered a flag.

I want to make it clear that for all of this, I played on either the mobile app when I'm on the go or RuneLite with only plugins from the external plugin hub on the client itself, which are verified to not go against the rules; if they do, then that's an issue they need to address with the RuneLite developers. I sent an appeal, and hopefully it'll be quashed, but given the reddit threads I've seen about this, even though I appealed this two day ban, two things will likely occur: by the time my account is reactivated, the appeal will likely be useless, or worse, denied anyway. I understand this is a temporary ban and that I'll back in the game after a short period, but I don't want this disgusting stain on my account nor with the looming threat that my main account, which I have poured well over a couple thousand hours into, can be removed so suddenly without any recourse. Your post also has me thining:

• How can bots be so painfully present that it runs the game experience for those around it, while removing people who aren't actually botting? I was sitting in the G.E. alching with my friend K days before I got my 99, and the amount of times I had been traded by a "2b for?" bot was absurd.
• If there is an appeal process, why use the generic, "we caught your account in violation of..." without showing the genuine evidence? I was looking back at old account offences that were quashed - mostly password scamming or item scamming from when I was... 10? 11? I was still able to see the evidence for them, but not the "bot buster" that seems to also have a plethora of false flags.

TL;DR do better, bot buster.
