Because that clearly is sending more then one action to the server?

I don't understand the nit picking here. It should be plainly obvious what the intent of what they allow is and isn't.


Sending /oos is also more than one action isn't it?

A basic /oos script would be something like this:

Send {Enter} < This is sending one action
Send /oos < This is sending the second action, third action, fourth action, and fifth action for typing out / o o s the O is repeated.
Send {Enter} < This is sending the sixth action AND repeating the first action, Send {Enter}

So, they need better wording or tell us "Yes oos is okay. 1 Button log out is not. Portal is not. Trade spam is not." instead of ambiguous wording.


The server (presumably, because otherwise something strange is going on) not notifying the server when you hit "enter" to bring up chat. That's not an "action".

There's (likely) a single message sent by the client when you send a message to chat.

To be honest, using macros at all would make me feel uneasy. They've explicitly condoned /oos and /remaining. I expect 1 button logout is ok, but since logout-to-save-your-ass feels like cheating to me (I know it isn't) I'm a bit unsure.

It would be nice if explicit answers were given.

Anything that repeats on a timer is not ok. Loops are not ok. Unrolled loops are not ok.


I "believe" I remember Chris talking about the one button logout during his interview with Athene. If memory serves, he didn't see anything against it or alt-f4 and was going to discuss with his team about making the one button logout thing a user configurable keybind.

So technically I can write a script to click on a waypoint, switch acts and clicks on a WP. Because there's no timer or repeatable actions in one script. It just moves insanely fast.


That's multiple actions:

"Server, send me all waypoints this character has unlocked."
"Server, transfer this character to wp#/act#."

You'd probably also have to insert a delay between the two commands, which is a timer.

This is correct. He certainly didn't protest in response to the mention of people using such a thing already.

Okay, now id like to know are ppl ACTUALLY getting banned for using it? Has anyone got banned for using it?

Yes.


It must be all the players that don't stream as if you watch any high lvl streamer they would all use such a tool and not get banned for it. Not that I mind I think the problem lies on GGG to make a more efficient way for people to make sure other players see there wares in the trade chats.

Maybe you mean only if people use it to spam the same channel over and over? and not those that have scripts doing 1-20 trade channels.

I'm pretty sure you are all bark and no bite as you deep down know that the way the current system works is very flawed.

Anyways I wont play more "Poke the bear" Welcome back from new years. :3

Yep. I mean it's not like one of the most famous streamers has link to said macro attached to his stream. Oh wait..

Oh crap, i think my Mute macro might be bannable. Wouldn't that be the dumbest thing ever, to be banned for a simple autohotkey volume settings macro, because the game doesn't provide a mute/unmute command?

What we need is explicit list of scripts that is a Yes.

Agreed. I'm going to either email GGG to get some clarity on this macro by macro, or make a thread with a breakdown of a bunch of different macro types for GGG to respond to with "Yes. No. No. Yes. Yes."

Waste of time why should anyone not butthurt do that? Snitches is in general not very liked I wouldn't want to have that on me personally. But I guess each to their own.

And it's not really spam if you are in 1 channel you will never see more than 1 line from them so they would never annoy you in anyway.

Doesn't bother me. It's on their mainpage streams. Clearly not really a big deal.
