Will i get banned for running AHK for non-PoE related things?

i messaged support myself yesterday just to be sure since i have money tied into this account and would not want to jeopardize it for QOL! they clearly said AHK is absolutely allowed as long as...

A) it is only performing one action at a time such as /oos /remaining and even /itemlevel as well as logout! thing like popping multiple potions all at once or swapping out gear with one key and such is NOT allowed!

B) you are manually using the macro yourself and not on a automated script or timer!

They have stated /oos and logout macros are exceptions. Everything else is banable. But A, they have no way of knowing what your AHK script is doing since there is no difference between AHK sending commands and you as a human sending commands. And B, now that they monitor all your active processes they have no way of knowing if you use AHK for PoE or something else.

I use several scripts that perform hundreds of operations at once and also function on timers, but none of these macros talk to PoE. That is what I'm concerned about.

I use AHK for /itemlevel, /remaining and /oos. And have previously a alt-f4 macro(not automated or anything just a one hit key alt-f4) which Im not using currently and havent for a while. Thats the only stuff I use it for, not for anything else on my PC. And I really couldnt see myself typing these three into chat each time. That would be a gamebreaker for me.

Anything other than that they can ban(Not saying they should ban people for using stuff outside of the game, if its not clear!!! Im saying do NOT ban the use of AHK) if you ask me.

**I guess if it is bannable I'll be gone soon.

Please read the OP you aren't understanding. You think GGG should ban me for having iTunes macros?

I know some people can't quite understand your concern inDef but I hope you get a clear answer from a moderator or dev on the issue. I don't use AHK at all anymore so I'm not sure how the game would react to it (using it for other things).

Lol no. I'm talking in the game, in regards to the recent cheat discussion. As you said yourself, they cant differentiate what the fuck your ahk does, ergo, what I stated in my first post, they wont ban people for using ahk....

However, if GGG encourages and expects the use of shortcuts for these actions, they should get to adding those functions as part of their own game ASAP.

Yes.
