What do you think of crafting with remote desktop apps?

Yes it still works. And the game still changes to a different configuration save when you start the remote play. Changed the buttons for PS Vita gameplay.

I would listen to your FC friend, one mistake and you may need to start all over with a new game and account again.

I mean I can see if they message me and just move to my pc to answer then.

Anyways, I looked it up a little bit and people have been doing this way back since 2015 or earlier when the apps for remote desktop seem to have actually costed money instead of being free like chrome's remote desktop.

What would make it cheating? You are still manually pressing your buttons just like you would on pc or ps. We are allowed to play on steam deck too and i haven't heard of any rule that says that you can't use remote apps (now i'm kinda curious about it and wan't to try crafting using my phone and some remote apps it sounds really fun). If there is some rule about this could someone please share it?

As far as i know there are some 3rd party add ons that are way too commonly used that queue macros and allow you to craft for hours without pressing any buttons which obivously are really bad thing and botting maybe your friend is confusing crafting with botting add ons and crafting with remote apps?

It's people being so tech illiterate that they think remote desktop plays the game for you.

or its people that read the OP.

is crafting grindy? yes it is, remote or not, as someone said its the exact same thing, a process. point being, if you really find it grindy, and it has been dumbed down almost into submission, its not likely to change further to become less so.

but the OP was saying the FC mate threw a "hissy fit" which is fine. its their account, their time, if THEY think its cheating, there will be even less enjoyment. the OP should really have said "okay, your call" and walked away instead of posting on the forum. doesnt matter what forum dwellers say or think about it, its not their account

I think macros should only ever result in NQs.

Actually, I did do just that. I didn't really press the issue and I have no plans to do so. I'm not going to show them this thread and try to use it as evidence or anything.

I just wanted to see other peoples opinions on the matter.

Two questions:

1. Do they understand what you mean by remote desktop and what that would entail?

2. When they threw this "massive hissy fit", was it really that massive, and were they maybe just venting because they were frustrated in the moment with crafting in general and any suggestion would have lead to same hissy fit?

all good. they were likely misinterpreting it to mean "unattended play"

You really have to bend over backwards to think that this is cheating.
