Ok we're overreacting a bit here gang...

The OP had a very good point, and your love of Keyclone (Which I hold as well) is leading to unfounded speculation and accusations. (most big words ever in a sentence by Boom.)
No he never, he decided, for absolutely no reason (so he claims, but why post in the very first line about his own scripts) to post one of his first posts on the site that nearly everyone is pointed to (including from the WoW forums in threads about how bad boxing is) questioning the software most associated with boxing and implicitly giving more ammunition to the anti-boxing crowd

We are always walking a fine line as Multiboxers. You can NOT deny that by playing 5 accounts at once, gives you a huge advantage over your next door neighbor who can't afford to pay for more than one. Period. WoW is so far ok with this. We love it, but the line is fine.
Yes I can, I dont play on a pvp server and I dont pvp with my multi-box crew on my pve server in any way. What I do has no impact on anyone on my server except I dont need to see them for anything except the rare plans/cuts from raid zones. If zones weren't instanced you may have a point but since they are I can go a whole day without seeing anyone else, so who am I having an advantage over. Add to that I make about $20k a year more than my neighbour, of course I deserve an advantage over them in every facet of life...if they dont like it, they can get motivated and go make more money for themselves.

So when Blizz openly tells us it doesn't want software making decisions for us, the Round Robin feature becomes a valid concern.

I agree, that due to simple macro functions (,,spell,,) this makes Round Robin initially sound trivial. But you're not looking at the big picture here.
And that is where it ends. Blizzard reworked the macro system to get rid of the activity they didnt like and have since said that keyboard multiplexing is fine, can even create macro's on things like the G15 as long as they dont do anything the ingame macro system can do. If a function of keyclone, hotkeynet, ahk, whatever meremly replicates an internal system without added automation blizzard dont care, they have said so..the end..no need for this thread in any way shape or form, and that is the crux of my issue with it....it tries to insinuate something about the software and what we do that is counter to what Blizzard have already said and serves no other purpose than to give ammunition to those against boxing to claim that even multi-boxers think they (or the software) are exploiting.

First off, we are not the norm. Blizz didn't design the macro system to allow players to coordinate spell-stepping among multiple players. But it works that way for us because we control multiple players at once. Round Robin is a very STUPID AI. But it's an AI none-the-less. Because I have it, I don't have to remember which of my 5 players should Earthshock next... while anyone playing one toon with others, has to work that out themselves. (think Tranq Shot rotations in the old days or interrupt rotations today with Shade of Aran)
No they never, but they did design the castsequence function to cast a sequence of spells or abilities one after the other following a keypress for each spell, there is no effective difference to it....the same way as hunters can create a castsequence macro to handweave shots and in the hunter raid channel have the classleader call when to hit the tran_shot key.

So don't be so quick to wail on this kid's junk. I totally see why he'd be concerned about this.
So do I, but I doubt we see the same reasons :/
