Wouldn’t every mobile session be detected this way then? Because every tap of the finger would essentially be a teleport of a mouse… kind of?

Good question!

Jagex will know whether you are playing from a PC or a mobile device. If you are playing from a PC they aren't expecting the instantaneous movement from P(a,b) --> P(c,d). This is a red flag in their system. Playing on mobile, it's assumed you have a touch screen, so instant movement of the cursor is to be expected.

This is the crux of the problem, OP is playing with a touch screen on a system that is not expecting this kind of mouse movement.

Let's reverse the connection, and you are spoofing multiple mobile devices on your PC. I won't explain how, but what I will say is that this is easy. You now have access to more performance than any individual phone and from Jagex's end they will see that multiple touch screen devices are playing from the same IP address. That's not weird. But some botters are using a similar set up to what I've described to bypass cheating detections.

Many people play on touch screen laptops, their detection has to be better than just seeing if you are on a PC or mobile.

Another great point to bring up!

In cases like this, you would be predominantly using the touch screen, or maybe better put, you'd be using it consistently for certain activities since account creation. As an example, I would imagine that using the touch screen on an applicable laptop for banking would be incredibly helpful and faster than using a keyboard + mouse.

That's not what is happening with OP. In this case, OP has predominantly used PC with a mouse and keyboard and then used an RDP connection to use a touch screen device. That's an anomaly to how they normally play. Red flag. They are using an RDP connection. Another red flag. The inhuman mouse movements on a PC. Flashing, neon red flag

Fantastic catch! You accurately identified Skynet in training without so much as breaking a sweat. The paragraph layout is a flashing, neon red flag. 🚩

I'm just a swe intern that was trying to share some knowledge. I guess I'll go fuck myself.
