Keyboard macros against ToS?

Are macros even necessary? I can't see why this would be any benefit in this game.

I could see how they could benifit me a little...but every other game they ususally classify it as cheating...IDK though...I have a keyboard like that too but don't use it cause I do not want to get banned.

Bump. Want to see an official response.

KB macros are generally allowed, they are often part of multi-boxing and most games allow that.

Generally macroing is frowned upon if it doesn't require you to be present at the computer.

It can be a grey area though - for example creating a KB macro to craft 100 items with 1 key press is probably not legal, but creating one to craft an item per key press probably is, even if it involves a few intermediate steps.

The main requirements for legality are in general that you need to actually press a key, be present and not abuse the system.

I use macros to bind side mouse buttons to skills because it's way better to play.. I don't think anyone minds, really

I'm just a mod, not a dev. But I don't have any problems with macros. They don't give any pay to win advantages (except that you can afford a better keyboard which has nothing to do with the game)

A lot of us mods have macros set up for mutes / reports / answers /etc, so while this isn't an "official response" Because I am not a paid employee, I don't think (from everything I've read or seen) that GGG is against players using macros to make certain tasks easier.



Making bots on the other hands or macros that abuse the system, that's a whole nother world.....

I don't use macros yet but maybe il do one for quick portals
