[Guide] What a macro is allowed to do in Path of Exile
|
It is very unfortunate you chose to omit the question being asked.
As the answer focuses on only a single server-side action being allowed per button press, and as this is already stated numerous times in the post as-is, I don’t see a reason to edit it. “Please understand that imposing strong negative views regarding our team on to other players when you are representing our most helpful forum posters is not appropriate.” — GGG 2022

Can I permanently hold down the "D" button for Detonate mines for instant explosions ?
|
|
" if you do it using a macro then no, because this counts as "automation" and is not allowed. | |

I already answered this in Rika’s thread, but for the benefit of others reading this thread, many (all?) instant cast spells can be bound to left click. You are almost always pressing left click, and they will immediately cast when available like any other spell, except because it’s a movement button, whenever you are not casting (you never cast for instant spells) you move like normal. This works very well with Enduring Cry. I don’t know if Detonate is able to be bound to left click.

Am i correct in assuming that a single button press is not allowed to result in two chat commands, one saying thanks the other kicking me from the party?

" correct. | |

Performed a quick pass to ensure links are still accurate - for example, the post by Chris linked to in a couple of places had wandered from page 6 of the thread to page 5 as a result of either posts being deleted or GGG adjusting their pagination. While looking at links I also replaced all instances of www.reddit.com with old.reddit.com as the old design fits more text on the screen at one time.

This entire macro situation is something I will never understand.
PoE is a fake multiplayer game, where at least 95% of the entire playerbase plays the game solo. In other words, it's a singleplayer game with multiplayer aspects like chat and trading, with a "rota" now and then. Thus being said, not allowing the use of the simplest macros to make a complex game like PoE easier to handle, is in my eyes plain wrong. I would completely understand it if it was a competitive game, but it's not. It's an RPG. Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris.

Funny how after all these many years, using a macro for flasks is a bannable offense while hundreds of auto bot sellers are still out there "stealing" buyers off of legit human sellers. I like GGG logic, I really do.
P.S. I understand the sentiment behind this, I really do. For races or league starts, it would be such an amazing advantage. So my point is, it should be a ban if used on League servers but allowed on Standard. I mean who cares about Standard, right? |

" So i cant use a Popsicle stick to make pushing flasks easier? or even the macro software that came with my mouse or keyboard to make flask manegment easier? |
