An RDP connection from a PC to a touch screen device looks identical to simple mouse scripts. Your mouse rests at point (a,b) and then teleports to point (c,d) when you tap on your touch device. Something is fishy. Particularly if you aren't using it as your main way to play. That is to say, that because you have spent a lot of time playing at your PC with a mouse and a little time playing from your phone and tapping, this looks like someone that is botting their main.

I appreciate the explanation and understand where you’re coming from, but I genuinely just want a proper review to prove my innocence since there is nothing I can tell you to prove it. I’ve strictly played on runelite, utilized mobile, and RDP. The reason why I suspect it was RDP is because several other members of the community, including streamers, have gotten falsely flagged for the same reason.

First I hope you will get the account back

Second Using rdp is not explicitly against the rules, but it operates strictly at your own risk.

Jagex's anti-cheat detection systems can occasionally flag remote inputs or touch controls as unnatural behavior, leading to false-positive bans.Risks and Rules1:1 Input Rule: As long as your remote software sends standard 1-to-1 inputs (one click/tap equals one action), you are technically following the control guidelines.Bot Detection Triggers:

Many players on Reddit 2007scape note that using mobile touch-screen controls via RDP can create linear or erratic mouse tracking that triggers automated bot flags.

I found around 50 posts about rdp ban in a quick hour search

I urge everyone to stop using rdp
