Using Macro keyboards or software?

Hi all,

Do you think its all cool to use a macro program besides the ingame one?

I was thinking more of the likes of Autohotkey or even just a razer keyboard macro.

Any ideas?

Thanks!:)

Will you not get banned for using third party software to use with the game? i.e Autohotkey for example.

I use a corsair m95 and there seems to be a really annoying bug with using hardware mode (macro profiles saved to mouse), when hardware mode is enabled if you use a macro button while holding the right mouse button it takes you out of camera control and instead makes the cursor pop.

i like razer but i guess you can do really good macros than can make you kinda a bot :S

It's been over two years, but there was a post by a FR Rep back in version 1 that clarified this. If the program/hardware is used while you are not at your computer it is considered botting.

The question came up when people were asking about turbo buttons on game pads, back then you didn't get better Exp for higher quality, so spamming 'A' was the way to go.

So what if I am not away from my computer. I mean I am still controlling where the character would go, and initiate the "gathering" process by standing infront of the Tree or Mine before triggering the macro of "0" - selecting

Sample of a really noob basic script from Autohotkey : (This will select the "Gathering Node" and select the Last mineral/plant selected and starts farming.

^Numpad0:: [COLOR="#ff00ff"]/* Control + Numbpad 0 */[/COLOR]
Loop 5 /* loop 5 times */
{
Send {Numpad0} /* Sends a numbpad 0 - which in FF14 , numpad 0 is selecting a.. */
Sleep 2000 /* delay for 2000 milliseconds */
}


Note: before triggering this key, you have to be infront of the node(tree, mineral patch) for the initial "0" to select the node.
