If you’re reading this post, you may be curious about the recent incidents on a few accounts that resulted in the resetting of certain players’ levels and XP, allegedly due to botting accusations.

What I can confirm about this statement/rumor is that it is most likely false, but could also be true. I’ve been doing some lurking research on the Runescape forums – checking out some posts and finally realised that it is apparently a bug. Jagex Moderators have been asking anyone affected to send in a bug report; and I trust you should do so if you are affected in any way to get your stats back.

I appreciate the anti-botting sentiment but as we’re still collecting information about the issue, it’s not really your place to confirm or deny your own theory. As always, players affected should submit a bug report and then wait for us to get in contact. And as that’s the final word on it, I’ve locked this thread down.

At this point, it is completely unknown as to what is setting off these XP resets, but hopefully Jagex can do something about it fairly quickly, before it’s too late! If you have any thoughts/experiences/opinions on this issue, the comment box is right below this post. Like it if this helped!

Edit: I’ve done even more research and I can confirm that there are botters who are getting their stats reset. This seems to not necessarily plague any legit players that I’ve seen. Maybe this could be Jagex’s new way of dealing with bots?
