I didn't speak with a GM and...

I got this in my email, I was leveling 2 toons a druid and a priest with keyclone, this email was sent to my druid account. All I've used in combination with WoW is keyclone and then the addon "QuestHelper" and nothing else.

Were either of the accounts trial accounts? Are you absolutely sure you aren't running anything like Innerspace, Glider, AutoIT, any anti-AFK programs, etc?

[Kaynin]

Next to using keyclone, were you using the G15 keyboard or any other software that simulates keypresses? Or did you really solely use direct keycloning of all your keypresses?

If you are certain you absolutely didn't do anything wrong, send them an email to have it looked into and the final warning removed as it was unjustified. However, I find it a bit dodgy and would almost think there's something else going on here.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. :P

The account suspended was brand new, Its been live for 2 months~ but I havn't played it in a few weeks because of school, last time I used anything like autoit was pre-bc(and it wasnt on these accounts). I was doing straight passthroughs using keyclone. I figure its some sort of mistake, I was just kinda wondering if anyone else had ever been warned like this with no "priors". I've seen all the posts/ss's of GM's saying everything is cool so long as you are personally there pressing those commands so I figure I'll get out of it but I was confused by the fact that I was warned out of no where.

As others will also say, it's highly unlikely Keyclone is the cause of this warning. If Keyclone was a fault hundreds of people would also be receiving these e-mails. The best thing you can do is contact them and explain the situation and the software you've been using. Unfortunately, getting any real information out of them for this type of report is like pulling teeth.

Is that genuine?

Do they really only give a 72h suspension and "final warning" for "Violation of Exploitation and Client/Server Manipulation Policy - Unapproved Third Party Software".

That sort of violation sounds like an instant permaban to me... sure it's not someone winding you up?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Based on past experience, I give this 25:1 odds that there's more to this story than meets the eye. That, or the GM's a nub and hasn't been briefed in on multiboxing.

[elsegundo]

oh goody!!! time to reformat that hard drive!!

[Fleecy]

I'm still waiting for a reply from the original poster, I'm dying to see how the show finishes.

[Dopledin]

that happened other than Keyclone being the problem. I haven't been boxing as long as a lot of people on this board, so I followed some recommended procedures when I started:

1. Notified GMs that I was going to box some acounts on Mal' Ganis, Burning Blade, and Emerald Dream.

2. Notified them that I was using Keyclone as my controller.

To date (about 9 months) I've been reported (allegedly) a gazillion times and never received any suspension or warning from the GMs. Well except the one YESTERDAY about one of my character names being not so good and to please change it on your next login as your character is being booted right now while you are defending Halaa. Luckily it was on my hunter crew and it didn't take much to fix the macros.

My vote goes with Ughmahedhurtz on the GM that didn't get the memo. :thumbup:



Peace
