Are macros illegal in OSRs?

Yes, using macros in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is against the rules and a bannable offense, as it involves third-party software automating actions, though enforcement can seem inconsistent, with the general guideline being that one key press should only result in one in-game action (1:1 ratio) to avoid detection and bans. While simple 1:1 macros might fly under the radar, any automation, especially anything more complex or designed to mimic human input (randomizing clicks/movements), risks account action, including temporary or permanent bans and XP rollbacks, as Jagex aims to prevent cheating and bots.
