Trade chat macro, autohotkey.

Is this even legal? If not why isnt at least 80% of the spammers in trade 1 banned for example?Everyday i see the same people spamming trade chat from 1-10 at least. Or can you use it without getting banned? Never used it would like to know if i can use it or not, seems that every1 is doing it.

GGG can you clarify on this mather please thank you.

It's not legal if it's automated, however if you assign a trade channel to F1-F12 and another key for your message, it is.

Macro legality mostly falls into the "one action per keystroke" rule.

An entered line of text being submitted counts as a single action for these purposes.

A macro for /oos is legal, for example. Likewise, /trade 1, /trade 2, or /trade 3 should be legal. Likewise, sending your last trade spam is.

So, you can stick each of those on a separate button.

Thing is, you're still spamming, so that should earn you a mute. But, it doesn't appear to.

Allright so if i use this autohotkey then make this trade macro say for example it spams the message from chat 1-5 in a slow pace and its bind to my F1 key its legal? Thnx for answers guys.

What part of of automation did you not understand? Setting it to spam chats 1 to 5 regularly is automated if you put it on F1.

Its legal if you set F1 and F2 and F3 and so on on AHK and then you set up another one for posting the message with another key set for each chat individually.

I never used it before dude relax abit will you.

No, since that would be 10 actions (5 /trade joins, 5 messages sent) per 1 keystroke (F1).

to make it visual, this is legal:

F1::SendInput {enter}/trade 1{enter}
F2::SendInput {enter}/trade 2{enter}
F3::SendInput {enter}/trade 3{enter}
F4::SendInput {enter}/trade 4{enter}
F5::SendInput {enter}$[truckload of itemspam]{enter}

and using this cycle of keystrokes: F1 > F5 > F2 > F5 > F3... etc

binding all those to one key is not legal

Legal, albeit upsetting to see in practice ;)
