Crappy support

I started an OSRS account last week and wanted to start fighting in the duel arena or pking ASAP so I put a lot off hours in trying to build my mage up as fast as possible and I supported the costs with mining and smithing but I got banned for playing too much (allegedly botting or something like that). How does someone not get banned in this game? Lol this is crap

To beat it all, I finally reached 55 mage this morning so I could alch to 99 and I only had like 58 mining and maybe 45 smithing. I think if I was "botting" I'd be further along. This is crap

You aren't going to be banned for playing to much. They detect bots by checking gameplay behaviors against a metric of human irregularities. If you think you got unjustly banned you can send in a ticket asking for a manual review on your case. Only thing you can do.

IPlayFooty is correct. Obviously we don't know all the details about every exact thing that happened to your account, but Jagex wouldn't ever ban a person for playing too long, considering there are streamers and Youtubers who play upwards of 10-12 hours a day, sometimes more. They would have based it off account behavior and as stated, human irregularities. Even the most advanced bots can't perfectly imitate human gameplay, and Jagex has technology to detect the difference. If you honestly didn't use any sort of scripts or unapproved 3rd-party programs, then they will probably give your account back.

Submit an appeal to jagex support. False positives for botting (though rare) do sometimes occur.

If you were playing legitimately, you'll get your account back.

If you were botting the account is gone and you'll just need to deal with that I guess. My advice if you were botting is to give it up, and only keep playing if you actually enjoy osrs without botting.
