Using third party programs or tools in FINAL FANTASY XIV is strictly prohibited since they allow users to gain an unfair advantage over other players. The use of programs or tools within FINAL FANTASY XIV that allow certain continuous actions to be performed automatically are often referred to as absentee play, which is also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Additionally, during the course of an absentee play investigation, players may be requested to respond to or comply with a GMs instruction. Failure to do so is consider a violation and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account.

I realize the importance of what you have bolded, however as I mentioned earlier the key words that SE seem to be focusing on are absentee play. If I am physically at my computer holding down a turbo controller and I am able to respond to any instructions that they may have for me, I don't see any problem?

If someone leaves their comp running with an auto-button press overnight by all means punish away.

With the wording in the ToS, yeah, you'd be fine. They'll only punish you for spamming enter if you're not responding.

Which would be fine with me. If I'm afk-crafting that is totally unfair to all the players who are actually leveling legit.

However, I hope that SE wouldn't ban someone using a "tool that allowed for continuous actions to be performed automatically" when all it would be doing is have them hold down "enter" instead of spamming it.
