No, the game should be "balanced" WITHOUT 3rd party software. That is literally the point.

3rd party software is used because the game doesn't function well enough without it. If it did, as many people wouldn't use 3rd party software as do.

Like I said; your point of view is absurdly simplistic.

You're right. That's why macros are incredibly popular, to the point where GGG released a policy about their use. Because the game is balanced without third party software.

Let's just pretend that we've gone around in circles for the next three pages already and come to the point where we got bored and stopped repeating ourselves, huh? What you say doesn't actually matter, since it is a fact that macros are allowed explicitly by GGG.

fact: the game IS balanced around NOT using cheats
fact: you say the game should be balanced this way

...what's the problem?

This is called a fallacy of unwarranted assumption, which is that you are ascribing the tag of "cheat" to third party software which isn't against the rules.

The conclusion you have reached is based on a false premise.

Case in point: nearly every hardcore streamer uses a logout macro, and none have been banned for it, ever. Is your argument that GGG is aware of their cheating, but chooses not to punish them for it, or that GGG is not aware of their macro usage?

The only other option is that GGG does not consider it cheating, which directly contradicts your position. You'd be hard pressed to make an argument that macro usage isn't considered in the balance of the game given previous commentary by GGG on the matter.

Are you trolling, or are you being ignorant?

Macros aren't cheats. Some are, as they violate the rules. Some are not, and directly approved by GGG. If you don't know the rules, don't debate them. And no, the game is not balanced around the use of any macro.
