1) Putting [Dev response please] will not increase the chances of a dev response. Just post normally and if they have a response to give, they'll give you one.

2) macros are allowed; absentee playing is not. In other words, you need to be present and in control of your character. if you are using macros to have your character automatically act without you needing to provide any input at all (e.g. you could go afk and your character mines for you etc) then you are breaking the rules.
