I think its very relevant to the current topic at hand. Its the best example of the ambiguity that is the relationship between Blizzard and its Customers. That is why I think this is silly. Your not going to get anyone that represents Blizzard in a binding comment that application x y or z is supported for use with the game (I relay hate when people use illegal and legal when it comes to a video game). Half of what Blizzard classifies as automation used to be a built in function of the UI. Thus simply put, Blizzard changes its mind and does so often and that means what one blue post says today is completely invalid the next.

Next, its arguably safe to say that broadcasting a keystroke to multiple clients on single or multiple machines either via hardware or software or mechanical solutions is deemed ok. Why should mouse movement, clicking, or any other human user interface device be different? Where does it even say that I HAVE to use a mouse on my computer? Most operating systems have built into them the functionality to emulate one device with another. Some seem to be hanging on a pre-programed mouse positions. How is this technicaly different than binding a key to a pre-programed camera angle? I dont think anyone here would argue much about the usefulness of a keystroke bound to move a mouse to the location of where all the dialog boxes appear in game. Combining mouse position and a click in one button, to me is just the same. How would that be any differnt than the ingame macros that target, focus, trinket, buff, cast that we use today?

I guess my point is this, play how you want, use what tools you want that allows you to do what you want to accomplish. Look at the success and failures of others and play according to how much risk your willing to expose yourself too, but remember, in the end Blizzard can ban you because of your hair color if they feel like it.
