Is this script legal? i wanna find out before usage.

Now im not going to post this script just in case its infact illegal. But essentially there are 2 macros.
the first macro i have if F1. F1-F12 puts me into trade Chat 1-12, then i have "+" bound to {Enter}
sleep 10
{Up}
{Up}
{Enter}
It pretty much just posts the last thing i said before switching trade chats.
So from my understanding it is illegal to have a macro that does more than 1 thing at a time, so i made this 2 separate macros. This way each script is only doing one thing. So these macros should be allowed correct me if i'm wrong! I'd really like to start using them.

That sounds reasonable. Don't want to get a repetitive stress injury trading before the release in a few days. The way you're doing it makes it so you can't leave your computer to make a sandwich or watch a movie while it's spamming, so I'm pretty sure it's cool. Automation is blocked, not shortcut keys, there are plenty of people who /oos in a macro, and the only people that get banned are the ones who are actually botting or using multiboxing software to clone input.

Would i be able to combine both those commands into one macro, like /join trade 1
than also do the {up} {up} {Enter} into one keybind, so i can join trade 1 and also type the last thing i said. All its doing is freeing up one key.

I dont wanna make the devs look bad now but they have close to no way to detect keyboard and mouse macros because they use the windows input functions (SendInput, mouse_event, keybd_event).

I already know this, but id like to respect their rules they lay out. I come from playing GW2 were my first account was banned for selling an item to a vendor, their reason was "it was obvious that the reward from this vendor was too high, so you should not have sold it" so they called me an exploiter. I got banned for the same reason Kripp got banned for in GW2, so since then i like to give devs no reason to wanna lay the hammer on me. but it seems like its not breaking any rules, so ill go ahead and use it. thanks for all the input guys appreciate it :)

It is considered automation regardless if they can "catch you" or not. Your one input of f1 is actually doing 10 actions.

I don't know their exact stance on it but it is indeed more than one action for a single button press.

It may have several commands but its only doing one thing, putting me into trade chat 1. thats it.
Now this may be bannable

but im not gonna use that until i get confirmation. and i doubt it is.

I use mouse macros for combat. For example, I use my logitech software to consecutively cast 2-3 curses with one mouse click. Then again, that isn't automation, because it requires I click a mouse button. I brought it up in a thread awhile back and I didn't get any dev input as to whether that was against the rules or not. I assume they're OK with it, unless they say otherwise. Things like macros are pretty common in any MMORPG games. I can't even think of any games where simple macros are illegal.

I also got a macro I use to turn alts into fusings, instead of having to click a million times to convert 500 alts into fusings, I just hold the button down.

The rules are "one action per click" so, spamming a trade chat with one click is fine, the logic to change which chat might be considered another action, but I'd be more worried about someone setting it in a loop and walking away for an hour. That spambot would definitely get noticed and banned. I'd risk the macro to spam one chat at a time, switching chats, but definitely wouldn't risk annoying people by spamming all chats at a click of the button.

Well you could do it with a sleep(1000 * 60 * 5) but that would definitly be upsetting. One "Spambot" does not matter its the AMOUNT of "Spambots" =x.
