Banned for using Trade-Macro

For all of us that do believe in abiding by the T&C for playing PoE, anyone that does get banned is music to my ears. I just wish GGG could code a way to detect bots and ban the whole lot of them. Bots farming Chaos 24/7 quickly wrecks the Chaos to Exalt ratio in every challenge league.

Tbh the rules are pretty clear:

3rd party programs can only do 1 server side action per click. If you use the program for anything more than that you break the rules.

What about a bot that uses keypresses as fuel? For example, a bot that repeatedly farms the blood aqueducts and queues up any single server side action but does not execute them until the player clicks i.e. wait for click, move to pack, wait for click, use main skill, wait for click, pick up loot etc..

This would be totally legit and not breaking the TOS as long as you keep feeding the bot with clicks manually?

That would break the rules for automation. You can't have a macro that "automatically" changes function after each use.

I've done a custom Google search for "Mercury Trade" and "Sarno" and not turned up any forum posts which show me saying that the tool is okay to use. I sometimes look into the functionality of tools as a courtesy when folks ask - for example, a few people PM'd me about POE Trade Companion asking if it was okay, so I checked and it most certainly is not. I can't remember ever looking into what Mercury Trade does or how, so I'm unlikely to have publicly offered advice on whether using it is likely to be permitted by GGG.

Bro dafuq. PoE Trade Companion has been out for years. It’s been used and still is by lots of high profile streamers (I believe I saw it on Ziz’s stream). They didn’t get banned. Moreover, it’s got an official thread on the forums, why would GGG allow it if it violated their TOS??? The thread would have been locked a long time ago.

Again, if they violate the TOS, then they wouldn’t be here. You really should stop telling people they will get you banned because you’re clearly wrong.

If he's one the guys who requested for a trade and didn't show up, I hope he gets banned forever.

I dont know what you're talking about, but if you mean someone asks to buy something from you then doesn't accept your request, I do that all the time without trade macro.

Given the state of trading in the game it's a hell of a lot easier to spam the first 5 people listed at once and take the first invite than wait for a response to one at a time. Trade macro might do it instantly, but I frequently do it in the space of 10 seconds or so.

spam is one of the reportable conditions in-game, but if i refer to spam negatively here the post is removed.

You're welcome to ask Support if multiple server-side actions per single button press are permitted, then.

Are you trolling or are just bafflingly obtuse. None of the PoE trade macros do that!!! All of them have been built to follow GGG’s TOS.

You clearly have no clue and the fact you’re basically abusing your valuable poster tag is insufferable, Maybe you should stop spreading FUD.
