Best I could find in the TOU that has anything to do with this is:

4. Limitations on Your Use of the Service.

b. You agree that you will not (i) modify or cause to be modified any files that are a part of the Program or the Service; (ii) create or use cheats, bots, "mods", and/or hacks, or any other third-party software designed to modify the World of Warcraft experience; or (iii) use any third-party software that intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through the Program or the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may update the Program with authorized patches and updates distributed by Blizzard, and Blizzard may, at its sole and absolute discretion, allow the use of certain third party user interfaces.
But this talks about a variety of more malicious behaviors and I'm sure a repeating key doesn't fall into this catagory.

Then there is the real winner here:


5. Rules of Conduct.

C. Rules Related to Game Play

3. Anything that Blizzard considers contrary to the "essence" of the Program.

Which is Blizzard's all-purpose ban tool. However that is so vague that you'll have to show me other information outside of the TOU and EULA that says a repeating key is contrary to the "essence" of the program.

I haven't found anything in the EULA or TOU that would cause me to believe holding down "A" instead of hammering "A" is a violation.

Regardless. I'm sure there are still people that use them and haven't gotten banned and aren't worried about it.

Let's just continue the thread on-topic with the disclaimer that it could possibily be against the "essence" so we all can be aware of the risk. There are obviously members of this forum that have used this function from their hardware devices for a long time and haven't had any problems.


If there is anyone that has experience with using the hardware/software, but doesn't want the inquisition to see them admit to it, please send me a personal message.
