My introduction

[Mystrana]

i see what you mean but getting the dragon prog to carry out a
series of key pushes to me is similar to a bot prog , the dif is that
you have to start the sequence by voice.

The in game macros will not alow one push for a full sequence you have
to push the button everytime for the cast sequence to run its coarse.



If you can clarify this with a gm and he still says its ok well im all
for you there but to me its against the eula or tos to have a 3rd party
prog key press for you for every action. Now if you have to say Salvo
One for every action thats like a normal cast sequence macro.



But you say Salvo one and it presses the three buttons in a time delay
which is Automation ergo bannable sorry just the way i see it.

My conversation with Blizzard has already determined it is not considered a bot and the use of voice to control the game is "ok". Though the automation question needs to be clarified. It may be that I completely recreate my "salvo one" sequence in-game. And make a standard /castsequence macro in-game. But still be able to issue the voice command "salvo one", but I'l have to say it multiple times.

[Mystrana]

np about bot i might put an ingame ticket to get clarification on
the Automation part me self if both are good this prog seams like a
great boxing tool bit hefty on the price tag for $199 us but might
be worth it

There are plenty of other voice control apps out there, and there some amazing FREE apps. Some of these apps don't work with Vista and some didn't have a high recognition rate. As I'm running Vista and I have a tendancy to mumble when I speak Dragon is the only software I found that did EVERYTHING I wanted to do via voice control and the accuracy rate is almost 100%. I'm fortunately enough that our work license allows me to use it at home too.

After using voice control (and becoming lazy) I would find it much harder to go back to the old button bashing way. And I certainly would not be able to use EVERY spell for all 4 classes in my group.

I'd love to know the result of your conversation with a GM. I'm unlikely to submit a partition until after work. Though I already feel the way I have some custom commands configured it falls into the automation category.

[Fleecy]

Well here it is. I had that chat with a GM and the automation issue is not a concern. Screen shot included Ignore the spelling mistakes and grammaticaly errors I was on the phone to my wife at the time and distracted.

Very cool. Thanks for taking the time to clarify this for us. :thumbup:

Does this mean that we have to redefine 'automation''?

How can the chaining of multiple actions in a (cast)sequence, triggered by a voice command not be a violation, while the same sequence triggered by a single keystroke is?

If I understand your GM conversation correctly and your software use is legal, why are programmable keyboards not? And then where exactly do we draw a line between automation and botting?
I would be very hesitant to use your software untill you get blue approval on the blizzard forum. Sadly screenshots of ingame GM conversations wont be of any real use when you get hit by the banning hammer.

[Fleecy]

Its not a violation because a GM said its not. I'm sorry but I don't understand why you consider a confirmation from a GM (and his supervisor) as false information. Do you not believe it because you think it shouldn't leagal or do you have contrary information from a GM? I don't see the difference between a "chat" with a GM and a blue post on the Blizzard forums.

Programmable keyboards such as a G15 are perfectly within the Blizzard TOS. This has been a moot point for over a year.

[Wilbur]

Heh.

Personally I'd say this is automation.

To clarify.

You use a voice command, which then executes one key combo, delays and then executes a second key combo?

[Fleecy]

You're 100% correct, it sends a key press, waits, send more key presses. And this was discussed with the GM - and his supervisor. They clearly said it was not breaching the policy.
