Is this bannable? I got reported for...

[Noata]

Thinking about it more it seems alot like botting, setting a macro to auto kill mobs while you watch TV. I do believe that would be considered a bot in a sense. this is a makeshift auto killer and he is asking if letting the Macro run and it killing mobs while he watches TV is ok. I feel like we started arguing the wrong point and did not address if this was botting or not... I keep seeing this as made, an auto killer, left it to kill while i watched TV... I cant get banned for this can I? I am also concerned how he had multiple whispers and such... exactly how long was he running this auto killer.

you should probably go back and keep thinking, there is nothing "auto" about it, OP was manually hitting the macro.

in a this-is-not-a-bot sense, maybe.

Much like there is usually no need to address whether the Sun is a star, there is no need to address whether hitting buttons with your hands is a bot or not.

Considering the OP directly asks if he could get banned for it, and that others thought he was a bot, I would say the consensus of is it botting or not would be the determination of ban or no ban... so I imagine its the most relevant part. as people do not get banned just for playing the game.... so if considering the sun a star for the purpose of arguing stars, I would say its pretty relevant... I personally think he should not get banned but told probably not to do that, as its not a players fault if you act like a bot and they report you for it

only because the OP made it sound like he was using 3rd pty programs, and did not clarify that he was using in-game macros until later.

So you want me to fish while looking at the screen all time?

I just lay down and relax listening to the soothing sound and pressing throw or hook depending on sound.

Sorry, you can only fish the way it was intended, sitting in the intended posture, using the intended hotbar setup, with your monitor and pc or ps3 arranged in the intended direction, otherwise you will automatically become the Evil Bot Overlord and shall be banned forever.

There is nothing with auto-kill.
/targetenemy
Do this on the L2+X slot
The attack skill on the L2+triangle slot.

While you watch TV, press once L2+X, then maybe 10 times (to be 100% sure) L2+triangle. Then L2+X again. There is nothing automatic in it, except /targetenemy, which don't kill enemies. You can also do this with no target macro. Just with the d-pad to tab to the next enemy.

botting? no way
efficient? no way
possible? yes
