Unethical Gameplay?

[WOWBOX40]

I'm going to ask that you cite a source for this statement. Many players seem to believe that Warden is this amazing piece of anti-cheat software that tracks your every move and catches everyone doing anything wrong, but I think they're greatly overestimating the capability of it.

My source is people i know, who got banned for "3rd party software": they used to place a pen fixed to a fan rotating from side to side, the pen then pressed the spacebar, which was mapped to a macro. Other people used a ps2 controller with bluetooth, tapeing down a button. There are also other ways to make it work like this. Some also used devices like this to prevent going afk during the launch of a new expantion.

When a GM comes to investigate if you are botting or whatnot, they most likely have the ability to track it. Its similar to the combatlog, but includes jumping etc. If its non human behavior it is a "robot".

If it wasnt able to be detected, every person would have just bought a "autofire" keyboard, taped down a key and called it the day. It isnt realistic to have someone press a button over a periode of time nonstop with same intervalls between actions.

But no i dont have any official sources sadly.
Im sure there are others out there who know more.

I do remember a bluepost though, regarding that such a keyboard could lead to a ban. It was years ago. Maybe we can find it somewhere.
