Devs, please fix Macro wait time!

Relative to this then, why is using hardware macros not a bannable offence? Various products from a range of manufacturers allow you to script to one or more decimal places. If players with these products are able to script to that level of accuracy, then surely everyone should be allowed to?

(Note, I'm not debating the merits of macro'ing here. Just pointing out that it is possible, and that people do bypass Square's intentionally crippled system.)

That is using a third party program which is indeed a ban-able offense. This applies to all mouse software as well iirc. Anything that creates an "auto-pilot" not supplied directly from SE is considered a third party.

Relative to the post, it all comes down to server load as well as those, they would need to script in additional processes to differentiate between the decimal places which also increases the server load when used. For each macro the system has to reload your character so to speak. The same thing is true about moving. Several patches ago they changed the reload time for characters from 1 second to .5 seconds with the premise of reducing the lag of characters but at the cost of a higher server load, which thankfully hasn't caused many problems.
