Guide to Detecting Autotype Users

[yomom1919]

Before I start my guide, there is something you need to take into consideration. Jagex has detection software for autotypers, so I strongly reccomend that you do not report people you suspect of autotyping. The reason? That person could be completely innocent, and with Jagex banning practically everyone that is reported nowadays, you could easily ruin an innocent 'scapers 'scapelife. But if you must, here is a guide to detecting them.

 

 

 

Follow all the steps in order before reporting. If the person does not fit the description, do not continue to the next step, and do not report them.

 

 

 

1. Is the person typing the same message over and over without changing price, letters, or anyting in the phrase? If so, move onto the next step.

 

 

 

2. Is the person typing fast, and in rapid succession*? If so there is a slight chance they are autotyping. However, some people, myself included, can type extremely fast and in succession, making it appear as if the message is permanent. If they are not typing quickly, do not move on to the next step.

 

 

 

3. Are you on a busy world? Chances are that if you are on a world with a few or not-so-large amount of people, that user is not autotyping. If you are in a not-so-busy world, do not go onto the next step.

 

 

 

4. Is the person using *chat effects and typing in rapid succession? If so, there is a greater chance they are autotyping, but it does not mean they are autotyping. If they are not using effects, end here.

 

 

 

5. How many effects are they using? If they are using one effect in rapid succession, it is not likely they are autotyping. However, if the person is using two effects, and typing in rapid succession, there is a 50/50 chance they are autotyping now. It is very difficult, even for the fastest typers, to type in two colons (:) (which require the shift key) with their message quickly. If they are using only one effect, end here.

 

 

 

6. Watch when other people trade with the suspected autotyper. In order to know if the suspected autotyper is trading, simply trade with them and see if they are busy. If they are trading, and still autotyping with two effects, there is a good chance they are autotyping. If they stop typing while trading, end here.

 

 

 

7. Now, trade with the suspected autotyper, wait till the person puts up their item(s), and do not put up your money or item(s) in return. Wait about 3-7 seconds and cancel the trade. Are they still autotyping, or are they saying something like "put up 50k". If they are using two effects, typing in rapid succession, and trading there is a much grater chance they are autotyping. If they are not typing while trading, do not move on to the last step.

 

 

 

8. If you are truly confident they are autotyping, report them. Jagex can detect it and possibly punish the suspected perpatrator. However, false reports do not go unnoticed by Jagex either, so watch out.

 

 

 

 

 

Notes:

 

*typing in rapid succession - this means the person is typing a trade message like "selling green mask 9m serious offers only" very quickly without stopping.

 

*chat effects - things that make a message flash or change colors.

I use glow3:wave2: constantly :P and I type fast. When people ask if you're an autoer I'd usually say no, but no one understand a joke these days. It's like saying "yes" when someone asks if you're sleeping

[cocacolabottle]

This is a pretty nice guide I liked how you used the steps program, but I personally do not see the harm of using an autotyper, (yes I know that it is illegal to use any software that gives you an unfair advantage in the game). But it is really hard to stand out in world 2 fally park..

[Jarritos]

pretty easy to detect

[n64jive]

i can type green:wave: very fast while typing in succession while even puting something like this:

 

 

 

Green:wave:selling 20k iron arrows--N64jive--300 ea

 

 

 

and if someone trades me, then cancels, i will often ignore em and go back to my typing. Now the only thing is i will often either accidently(or if im having a good day), include some errors to make it appear as tho i am not auto typing.

[yomom1919]

yeah i usually mispell words purposely or use 0's for o and 3's for e's and stuff so they dont think im autotyping.

[salim123]

pooooop

 

 

 

im bored

 

 

 

read my post

Salim, get out of here. Sorry to be so harsh, but advertising your own thread, while contributing nothing to this thread, is pretty foolish. As for your guide, I like it. :) Though I suspect many people of autotyping, it is very hard to tell; I wish there was some kind of way to be absolutely sure that someone is autotyping. But, then again, no one would autotype if it was that easy to be noticed.

[AznElliot518]

Usually I try not to make mistakes when I go in super type fast mode but usually my letters bunch up together to the point where no one can understand me

[Dexek]

I type fast, and someone is going to think I auto...leave the typers alone people, go report some macroers....

[whocares]

This guide is not good at all, because some people type fast and they type in "selling *****" while they are trading so when you're done trading they can send it right away.

 

 

 

Also, for expert merchenters, they get used to saying the same thing everyday, and as a result they can type that very fast.

[simran]

Wierd how you know how to detect someone. Maybe the creator of this topic is an autoer! :shock: Lol just kidding. I'm not accusing you of anythng.....

[Guest]

**Yawns** This ain't going to stop them from doing it. Jagex have given up on f2p and their countless amount of autotypers espcially in world 1. :wink:

[Dilts36]

good forum. even thou i didnt think it would be a good read it was. i like the step by step thing also, that helped alot. you must have put alot of time in this. :)

[pati]

i always try to type in different colors or ways

 

etc:

 

-buying all cow hides 150ea

 

-red:buying all cow hides 150gp each

 

-wave:buying all cow hides!!! 150ea -----(name)-----

[lunareklipse]

this is a good guide, but you missed out on some of the tell tale signs. one major give away is if someone is running, or walking around an area, while the message is popping up over their head. Its pretty hard to type fast and click around on the screen. another sign is if someone accidently types something in before the autotyper goes off, and it will come out with the glow3:wave:ect ect showing up on the screen. and like people have said, while im out selling our buying, ill throw in a different color or different effect to make sure ppl dont htink im auto-typing, all I need is to get my other account banned for something stupid.

[Zou_Lou]

Funny how this anti auto-typing topic could be used by auto-typers to better hide themselves... :roll:

 

 

 

Anyway, it's a common knowledge that using auto-typers is a rather minor offense and it usually doesn't lead to banishment. On the other hand, to wrongly report people repeatedly could easily lead to banishment. :cry:

 

 

 

So, be careful is you plan to use this guide! :shock:

 

 

 

Please take note I did not mean in any way to offense Yomom, he has done a pretty good job and I do appreciate his good will in helping out to get a rid of autoers.

 

 

 

I must also say I am strongly against any kind of autoers, but I felt I had to send this little warning to the readers of this guide. :wink:

 

 

 

Greetings,

Yes, I type quite fast, but usually with no fancy stuff, just the yellow. I have gotten especially used to these phrases (since i merchant a lot)

 

 

 

These phrases are:

 

 

 

buyin full blk g 250k ea

 

sellin full blk g 275k ea

 

buyin full wis g 1m

 

sellin full wis g (amount like 1.25)

 

 

 

To make sure that I dont get reported, then i usually intentionally make a small mistake or just by my speed and my lack of good accuracy i usually do make a small mistake (like this: buyinf ull lbkg 250k ea)

 

If i merchant anything else, i usually start slow, then get used to it

I don`t like your form of think, everybody has differents forms of think, but i'm in dissacour with you.

 

 

 

Let Jagex ban, why to help they for ban innocent ppl?

 

 

 

For me (i never autotiped or used macros because they ever got virus and keyloggers or advertist) the autotyping isent bad. The auto typers dont are scaming ppl or robbing accounts or using machines for play for thy.

 

 

 

For me, Jagex must create and autorizate a 100% legal autotyper, is stupid wrote all the day destroying the keypoard typing many times a same frase when you go to world 1. I feel like a mad when everybody see me for hit the poor keys of my board. In some Online games like Mu online you can make a shop and keep it open with the items and price you want. That is what jagex need to do, a better trade system, by that way the world 1 can be a better place for selling and buying stuff. Only need to open a personal store saying what you sell for what you want, the other player only need the ammount of coins and press "buy".

 

 

 

 

 

Why ban ppl for auto tipers if are many scamers everywhere?

actually this isnt my form of think at all, you are very, very wrong. if runescape was my game i would allow autoers, i mean who wants to mine? but they set the guidlines, and i choose to play, so i choose to follow them. your insulting the law, not the lawmakers here.
