Week ban

[MiRai]

well that sucks. i used it in city of heroes for years and it worked great.

i dont understand why they can say you cant use macros but at the same time they sell a $250 SWTOR official keyboard (made by razer) that's main selling & advertised feature is macros.

Because people would like to use that functionality for games that actually allow it. Would you like to switch between
multiple keyboards so that you could use features from one keyboard for one game and features from another keyboard
for another game? Seems kinda tedious...

Because Razer is not Bioware just like SteelSeries is not Blizzard. Like MiRai said, no one is going to spend that kind of money on a keyboard that's only useful for one game that you may only play a few weeks. Macro features are useful for not only other games, but non-gaming, too. I've never used my Naga's macro feature in a game, yet I use it every day for other things.

for the benefit of everyone, i would ask that you contest the ban and specifically say what you were doing and ask how it is bannable. unless there is more to it.. and you just want to wait it out...

I Sent an email to there customer service. I tried there support number with no luck. Endless loop of menu options. If anyone know a ways go get a real person let me know.

Try again on a day that isn't Christmas?

I don't understand people to be honest ... you know that multiboxing is already balancing on a very thin line. Using a software keyboard broadcaster is basically automating in the strict sense, they just don't ban the use of it. The more if you take dynamic keymaps, up/down state, repeater regions, ... into account, And then you plan to use a macro tool in conjunction with that?

*shakes head*

Come on people use your heads please! ANY automation is NOT allowed, period. Don't do it, boast about it and then complain about it when you get banned. You just create more reasons for people to dislike boxers and more reasons to get boxing banned altogether.

Simple rule: Press a button, and do nothing else as your actions continue = AUTOMATION

No No No No!

I never used any Automation with SWTOR . As i said i had a custom Autoit GUI running in the background that i use for batch files and im guessing Autoit was the cause of my suspension. I should know more when customer service emails me back.


I'm not crying over spilled milk. Knowledge of prevention is not a bad thing for the community.

From what I read in the OP's posts, he has AutoIT installed, but it is not performing any actions in-game. Unless there's more than he's saying, that seems like it'd be a point of contention to bring up with Bioware. As far as I know, Blizzard could care less if you have AutoIT loaded and running as long as you don't use it to automate gameplay. Bioware may need to be educated on this, and it's not going to happen unless bans are fought.
