Thread: Macro Question

    The rule is 1 keypress = 1 ingame action.

    I press slash and walk away from the keyboard, my guy autoruns across the map until he hits something he can't get through. Or I press space bar and leave he jumps and stands there till the server gets sick of him and boots you for being idle.

    The unwritten but well followed rule is, if they made it impossible to do with the in game interface they did so for a reason, and you shouldn't use something out of the game to replicate the behavior to get around the block.
    For example, castrandom no longer works. Creating out of game G15 macro to randomly hit 10 different keys at once to produce the same effect can be done. Even though it's not against the rule directly it exists in a grey area that is generally considered to be outside the spirit of the rule. If you were to equate this behavior to something in the game it would be the same as binding 1 key to 10 spaces on the action bars. Something that is not allowed.

    Simply put, if your asking if it's legal or not trust your instinct and assume it's not legal.

    In your case the question has been asked and found to be a bannable offense, so steer away from it in this case.

    You can have things like pressing 1 and the game receives ctrl+alt+1. This is different in the effect that it still only accomplishes 1 action for the 1 key pressed, and it can't be bound to 10 different things in the hope that one will work.

    How can It be banable when it was simply a question, thats why I made a questionmark after

    From what I know its not banable to ask questions in fact thats what the forum is here for. I didn´t ask if I could do It, I already know I can. I simply asked if it was legal.

    I think Bettysue meant that the question you are asking was asked by other people and that Blizzard said it is a banable offence. I think Bettysue also meant that you should steer away from doing it, not from asking the question.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Edit: Thinus already responded and said it better than I did...
