I want to use a macro that casts a Warcry when I leap slam; Is this legal?

People seem to be misunderstanding actions.

You can only do a single 'server-side' action with a macro. Not a single actual action.

For example, a simple macro (that most of the tools use) is a shortcut to go to your H/O. In this, they open your chat, type '/hideout', hit enter. But as far as the server is concerned, you hit one key to send one server side action (/hideout) so it is ok.

Logout macro uses a TCP disconnect. It is more effective that alt+f4 or char logout. It also has basically nothing to do with the game executable. It shuts off the ports the game is using to connect. Its closer to 'I am about to die, so I am going to yank my internet cable out' than it is to 'I am about to die, so i'll alt+f4'.

So why does GGG not put in a shortcut key for everyone to instantly log out? I don't want to have to use 3rd party software to log out with a single key. Just build in the functionality in the game so that I can quit with a single key press instead of hitting ESC and then moving the mouse to click logout.


If they are 100% happy with a one button logout then it should already be in the game after over 7 years of development. Seems like something that would take them 10 minutes to add to the game but they haven't.

For the same reason poe.trade was the primary trade website for ages, or PoB doesn't exist in game or there is no in-game keybind to go to HO etc.

A viable and largely accepted 3rd party tool exists, so there is no priority in making an in-game version of the same thing.

In addition, if GGG implemented an in-game logout, a lot of players would still not use it (see my explanation about macros like lutbot using TCP disconnect instead of an in-game logout). In-game logouts will keep your char in the instance server side for up to 6 seconds. So you may logout in time and your char will die over the 6 seconds the server takes to actually log you out.
