autohotkey.com can get you banned ? [GGG pls Awnser]

Hi guys :D

als long as i think i use GSeries Keyboards from logitech ... now i wanna switch to Cheryy MX Brows (cause Rubberdomes sucks after a while xD) and the G710+ hast so shitty thin keykaps i wont buy thant.


So long story short new Favorit is the Corsair Vengeance K70 - wich has NO makrokeys.

So my solution for it is what i used as child should also work now the smal Tool AutoHotKey.

But after a bit google research i found out what i cant believe some Games ban for useage of thet tool (wich in my opinion is stupid cause every GamingKeyboard over 100$ can make same things Banfree).


And now my followup and final question: Will (you) GGG ban for the usage of Makro Tools (ex AutoHotKey.com)

Actually the games that ban users of auto hot key also ban them for using the function on the more expensive keyboards(WoW for one did this for the logitec ones)

The program in and of it's self won't get you banned in PoE, it depends on what you use it for.
/oos is fine
Think the logout macro is OK

But spamming trade with a macro is a no and can get you banned.

If you really want to know, email support and tell them what you are thinking of using it for and they can tell you if it's OK

Hi,
yeah maybe its better to eMail these Support but on the other hand its a Public Question ( i think)

and Currently im using

/hideout
/itemlevel
/remaining
/oos (resync)

and some Chat parts for faster Typing like
"Hello im intrested in buying your: "
or
"What you want for the item: "

but im not intrested in beeing banned for an AntiCheat Tool wich detects the program.



And to the part bans for keyboards:
Spoiler
i cant tell about WoW but Diablo 3 only bans the tool.
ANd its a technical question because its easy to detect a running tool tahn a Hardware (wich some times is using driver) (my mouse as example can make macros without installed drivers i dont think thats detectable at all by some anti cheat engine) but thats going to far and is not the question here :D

The ones you are using are OK, like i said GGG don't ban people for using it in the ways you are using it, it's more aimed at spamming chat over multiple channels, or timed commands, most of the streamers and HC players use it and none of them get banned for it.

Greetings,

Thank you for contacting Support! We currently allow the use of the autohotkey program, so long as the macros used do not complete multiple actions (such as opening up your inventory and using a portal scroll) and do not act on a timer. This means that a macro to type /oos is fine, but a macro that uses /oos on a timer would not be.

If you have any questions about specific macros you would like to use, please feel free to let us know.

Regards,
Brian

False, I actually just go banned for using it, I was only using it for /hideout and to answer people like when I was in a map or something it was sending, in a map atm, wait a min. Got Ip banned, waiting for an answer from support.

Well, if your driver consequently spams the commands in the macro, they are send across the network with almost fixed delays between the commands.

If they choose to monitor your behaviour serverside, they would see all your commands entering as you press things, sure it is spammy, but on the mili or nanosecond there's still clear indications of a person timing the commands. They would see that mixed with sets of commands that are almost always fixed, always in that order and never fails like a human (sometimes you press the wrong key).

So they wouldn't need to check anything client side, and they can still see you cheating.

There's ways around that too ofc. Just saying.

ps. yes, I know offtopic.
Did you try turning it off and on again?

It's not false, there are thousand of players using AHK just fine without problems.

You did something to get yourself banned, it may be minor it might be major either way you sure as fuck wouldn't admit it either way unless you were stupid.

hello there. if your ip has been banned you can just wait until you get a new ip from your internet provider. dynamic ip.
