AutoHotKey & TermsOfUse Question

[DragonOfTheAges]

Last night I multi-boxed (2 on my laptop) for the first time. Woot!

I’m using AutoHotKey and WoWMaximizer.

Currently I a sending one-to-one keystrokes; (e.g. keyboard Alt-1 sends the ‘1’ key to each of the WoW windows).

Clearly attempting to execute a sequence of attacks spaced by sleep statements would be a violation.

My question is: would send a string such as “/follow joe” to each WoW window when I press Alt-F be a violation?

Nah, that doesn't accomplish anymore more than in game macro's will already do... BUT! I think you'll be sorely disappointed with the performance of it. You're much better off having your in game macro be /follow and assigned to button 1 then button 1 sends to that client etc.

Sure follow is probably just a simple example you used, and it'd be nice to be able to have all of your macro's within your AHK script but the game lag, machine lag, and a dozen other factors just make it a non starter.

I (and I think most people here) would recommend sticking with the in-game macros and avoid any "third-party" macros.

I wouldn't think so. The Logitech g15 keyboard has the possibility to program sleeps/delays and such, which IS considered against the terms of use. In a couple customer service forum (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?forumId=11112&sid=1) threads that I read some time back, a blue mentioned that as long as you could do the same thing with in-game macros it was OK to put on your logitech g15.

Even so, it's pretty simple to make a /follow joe macro in-game, so if you can avoid using programs for your macros you might want to try that route first. :)

You're fine. Just don't put any delays in your macros.

One thing to consider, Blizzard have removed the macro extension capability from addons such as supermacro do they now feel that more than 36 macros is against Tos?

18 macro's is a shit load of them tbh, why need more? If you want more, get into some easy lua coding, and use functions from your lua files
