    Buying a joypad is completely legal and not botting, turning on turbo mode plus some tape is all thats needed, hope they revert to how crafting was before 1.19 though, clicking same button a thousand times isnt really a challenge

    Feels to me like that was a quick fix to make the mini game less tedious until they had the time to actually do something about it.

    I hope they'll get around to changing the way crafting works soon

    completely legal, until a gm tries to contact you after you get reported and you justr arent there to respond

    Is not responding enough to get you banned? Sounds a bit overzealous

    if a gm is trying to contact you, and sees your "turbo control" going over and over and over again
    and your not responding
    and hes continuing to message you
    and your not responding

    how do you think that looks?

    its not overzelous, its just about right for them to jail and suspend you until you contact them at the least. upon which point you can explain how you feel setting a turbo control on and being away from the keyboard for hours should be legal(which is about the only excuse you can give when they check your "command" log and see you spamming enter for hours with no other commands in it at all)

    Being put to jail for questioning is one thing, but banning is an entirely other.

    What if I, since I don't even have to watch the screen (and I have multiple) just spammed enter while watching a movie. If I only look back every once in a while, I am unlikely to see whatever the GM said, since the log will be filled up in seconds.

    How many times would they toss me into jail before they realize their methods are broken? It's hardly an offense to not pay attention to the game.

    I still watch my screen for tells and ls chat, when I use my turbo game pad. I only use it for locals, and each local is done in a few minutes. I use it mostly for saving my thumbs from getting numb spamming the same button over and over.

    GM contacting me, haha. I wish I could get a hold of one, especially if I actually need something fixed. But you can wait hours at a time and never get a GM response...good luck with that.

    Turbo also works well with the laggy UI, Instead of mashing the button over and over to pop off an ability or weapon skill, you just hold it down till it works; not so good for spells though.
