I avoid round robin specifically because - if you think about it - it does 2 actions with 1 input.Originally Posted by bugme143
For example:
Step 1. Press f1 --> character 1 presses f1.
?????? --> Swap to character 2.
Step 2. Press f1 --> character 2 presses f1.
?????? --? Swap to character 3.
etc etc...
Even if you argue semantics about the order (Step 1. Press f1 --> character 1 presses f1. Step 2. Press f1 --> swap to character 2, ????? --> character 2 presses f1) you still end up with 2 actions.
If CCP considers "swapping characters" as an action, then you are in violation of the rules.
Noone in my corp uses round robin, and none of us have been banned. I specifically mentioned to folks that they should avoid using round robin at all costs.
You could argue that my corp living in wspace means we have a lot less folks around to petition us, unlike some incursion folks who swim in the tears of "but isboxer is BANNED AND EVIL!!!1111" every day. This argument is invalidated by folks like ShadowAndLight.
ShadowandLight multiboxes bombers on the regular in nullsec, vs HUNDREDS of angry hostile pilot who I'm sure petition spam him at least as much as the incursion groups do. I don't believe he uses round robin (rollover instead) which might be why he's NOT banned.
Another potential reason for folks being accused of macro use when using round robin could be that your cursor (if clicking) appears in exactly the same area of the screen, or your f1's are coming far too quickly (I don't believe the 3 second bullshit, that's definitely wrong) for them to be considered "possible" for a human player to do.
With my videofx setup, it's incredibly easy to see tons of variation in my cursor movement and clicking, and I manually hit f1-f4 on my logis interspersed with the odd clicking during the same session so it's very easy to see that everything I'm doing is manual.
tl;dr - Don't use round robin, it might actually be against CCP's new rules of 1 input --> 1 output.
