No need to say it such a smart ass way you know o.o the point of the matter is that am not talking about bots i was talking how SE wont waste there money trying to make addon also work for ps3 due to them being lazy with it so that why it never going to happen in ffxiv.Quote:

Just personal opinion, but:
If you're not automating things (like recording mouse movements + button presses + conditions), then you're fine. Square might think otherwise but by toggling certain features in your driver software should not be illegal. I also have a keyboard capable of macros, and I do use them, I've always used them and there is absolutely no way SE, or anyone else could ever know. I'm not using them to bot, I'm not using them to automate, I am simply using features on my modern keyboard. I don't see any problem with it, they don't give me an edge, they simply make the game more comfortable for me to play because the controls in this game are atrocious.
I would personally look down on someone that makes a macro to craft for them, that would be crossing the line, IMO. But just telling your keyboard to repeat a single key when you hold it down or something, I don't see a problem. -

They say WoW is for kids and they act like one themselves. Yes, this community is SO mature. Just look at this forum and you'll see it.

08-02-2011, 10:02 AMAvaHate to break it to you, but... we are ALL using third party software to play this game. There's a reason other companies have stopped caring about macro software. It's nearly impossible to draw a line between malicious third party software and safe third party software because we all use it. Companies like SE just put a blanket statement out there to be safe. Other companies like Blizzard actually have the capacity to define the line, which is automation software, rather than third party software.Quote:

BRB, reporting players who use controllers that happen to have macro or turbo buttons.
