Step 1:
You can't.

You're trapped forever.

Even if you quit for 5 years, in your one moment of weakness, you will crack and come crawling back.

There is no escape.

@Randomscaryman what a loser, imagine saying the game is dead because they're finally adding the thing that's been in the game since Dragon Slayer but now you can actually enjoy it and control it.

It feels good to have been banned for "cheating" (Just wanted to see if my phone macros could fish for me. It didn't work well so I stopped after 10 minutes). I was permanently banned with no appeal. It makes me feel uncomfortable that someone could hack my account, use macros, and get it permanently destroyed. Thank goodness Jagex doesn't run the legal system.

This isn't my ego just defending itself either. I do miss the epic music, sound effects, and expansive universe and awesome time sink. I don't miss it being a massive time sink. I wish it were okay to macro, its such a boring grind, causing carpal tunnel and arthritis from repetitive actions. You find bots constantly everywhere you go, so their "zero tolerance, zero appeal" system isn't working.
