    yeah.. it's always a hot issue when it comes to how much automation they give us.

    Years ago, I had a bank for skilling up Summoning Magic where I just moved through the bank continuosly looping the cast/releases. After a few passes, I had the timing down to where I didn't even need to look at the screen and just listened to the audio and ran them while watching TV. I would got accused of bottting because everything seemed timed out in a near perfect pattern.

    What troubled me more than getting a GM called on me was the fact that some idget felt the need to report me for botting when I was just skilling up my magic--not exactly a game breaking issue. There's always someone in the crowd that will cry wolf for shits and giggles I guess...

    I got GM called on me for same thing a week before shutdown. Was skilling up blue magic so had macros set for /ma "Pollen" <me> <wait5> repeat. & it seemed seemless for about an hour until I was warped outta whitegate ; ;

    Funny thing is I play on an Xbox & as soon as the GM asked me to run the macro I was let free and told sorry. I too was looking for a way to loop my macro's to prevent me having to count to 5 and restart em lol. then LS mate said that would be an in game bot & I now understand why they do not have it.

    Good idea but will never happen. I do not even know if they will give us more slots, but who knows they changed the /wait so they are at least thinking about our macros
