I'm not the one who got banned. Just saying you shouldn't lie to the guy and say it's not possible for a ban after his 3 hours of use.
You are right, you are not the one who got banned. That was my mistake.
Ban delays are real. Jagex rarely bans bots immediately. Even when detection is obvious (it's not for RuneMate). Most bans are
delayed and handed out in
waves, sometimes days or even weeks later. Getting banned “after 3 hours” of your first session is nearly always due to
flagged IPs, or
previous account behavior (like logging in from a farmed or previously botted machine).
The bot never gets any ban reports. That alone should tell you the problem was not the bot. Thousands of hours of runtime, zero bans. You don't become an exception after just 3 hours unless something else is wrong on your end (or his end).
Regarding the walk back issue, it has been acknowledged. However, Jagex is not manually watching your gameplay and handing out bans. Their systems are automated, and suble pathing quirks are not going to triger anything that quickly, especially not on a script with an almost spotless record.
This is not a bot issue. If it was, we would be seeing tons of ban reports. We are not.
