Unethical Gameplay?

[Wubsie]

I do standstill farming almost every day - normal a hour a time - getting bored very fast - sometimes it´s the tv is running other time I stream my game play.

I don`t see what could be wrong with that - single player or group are doing the same farming same place.

How can standstill farming/simi afk farming be more wrong than people useing TSM snipper ?????

Did you watch the video? The question is not whether or not a stand-still farm is OK. No one is saying it is not.

What we're talking about is whether you're really actively playing the game if, for example, you'd be playing a completely different game and have those same inputs trigger a farming "routine" for a wow client (or clients) somewhere in the background with you having 0 focus on those, to the extent that you might not even realize your character had died/DC'd/ whatever hours ago and you'd still just keep spamming the same commands to them.

I did see the video and questions - and I don`t agree in all his point on Unethical Gameplay or how the game has to be played.

- I don`t think any has 100% focus on the game if they are standstill/simi afk farming. It bee us as multiboxer or the goblin farming for a pet.
- It`s has nothing to do with time - is 1 hour off focus more bad than 5 min. you still not looking at your game.
- TSM snpping your toon standstill for hours at the AH and you are doing stuff on your main/watch tv or what ever - and you only focus on that toon when you hear the sound go off, is that Unethical Gameplay?

I´m still hitting my keys, doing my ingame marcos - but when useing a Autoclicker to send you keys press it`s the same as botting and is not ok.

The MVP sums up your attempt pretty well. It's like asking the IRS how Cayman island bank accounts work. (I'm tired, can someone give me a better analogy?)

1- there is a difference between lack of focus and outright ignoring something.
2- there is, massively, a difference between 1 hr and 5 mins. ties into point 1.
3- that is literally standing skill doing nothing but running a scan waiting on the buzzer to then change window and physically do something to the AH window. Not the same as standing still and doing a collection of spells and abilities.

Going to step back from this thread now cause I can't tell if people are just trolling now or .....
