Do You Think RS3 and OSRS Share Anti-Cheat Profiles? How do you think Bot watch works? a random chat

[RuneTuned 2]

So I recently started playing RS3 and have been enjoying to my surprise. (classic interface with revolution)  This led me to think about botting and anti-cheat systems in both RS3 and OSRS. I've noticed that RS3 doesn't seem to have many bots, while OSRS has quite a few. This makes me curious about how the anti-cheat systems work in these games.

One big question I have is whether the anti-cheat systems for RS3 and OSRS build profiles of players based on their activities. If they do, are these profiles shared between the two games, or does each game maintain its own separate profiles? For example, if you develop certain habits or play styles in one game, would the anti-cheat system recognize and track these behaviors in both games, or only within the individual game?

RS3 is more AFK-friendly, which reduces the need for bots. Players can gain experience through XP lamps and oddments from keys, making botting less attractive. This might explain why there are fewer bots in RS3 compared to OSRS, where the grind is more intensive, leading to more botting.

I'm also interested in the methods used by the anti-cheat systems, such as Botwatch. They might monitor multiple accounts from the same IP, use heatmaps of clicks, and gather other gameplay data to detect bots. An I think ex-JMod mentioned that they collect vast amounts of data. It would be fascinating to know if this data collection results in a unified profile across both RS3 and OSRS or if each game handles its data separately, or even if it does build a profile on you and look for anything "out of character" 

would love to hear peoples thoughts on this

more people play OSRS, so there is more demand for gold, so more people bot it

Pretty sure they use the same way of detecting bots which is mostly through clicks and social data

No problem, it might be out dated in some aspects as they started profiling people to, like new players playing on the java client seem to have higher ban rates, so you want your account to be as unique as possible in the activities it does, stats, etc is my educated guess. I say this due to the massive 2k ttl banwave with P2P script where they profiled a bunch of 2k ttl accounts to be botters cause they were all doing the same things constantly
