Macro manipulation using 3rd party scripts, is it botting?

[Zarabeth]

I had been trying to find some ideas along this line of thinking about how to help people with arthritus, since the QTEs can be quite spammy (someone mentioned about this in The Royal Menagerie thread, the spam meant after like 2-3 attempts they were in a LOT of pain).

I'm disabled due to nerve damage in my back and arms and it does make some things very close to impossible, however what you suggest here would still be considered cheating. I'm fairly sure I'd get banned for using any 3rd party anything as all are against ToS. You are 100% correct though, for some of us, Royal Menagerie was very painful even on a keyboard where you can just hit any key at all. I was lucky and got an amazing pug group who didn't kick me even after I asked them to due to being embarrassed by my cruddy playing. I made it through thanks to them!

I don't use any 3rd party software to even the playing field, but it would be nice if that could happen. Unfortunately there are just too many people who would (and do) take advantage of anything for disabled people and would lie so they could cheat. Due to those people, SE bans anyone caught doing this.

Which makes me think, I wonder if SE could come up with a way for people to provide proof of disability, and how it affects them (complete with official diagnosis documentation), and use this as a way to allow those people to get reasonable adjustments. If you're caught lying, perhaps they could sue? And speaking of disability causing issues, I'm disabled due to genetics which means if I try to write for an extended period of time (as low as 30 minutes), it causes significant pain in my wrist. Typing/gaming isn't an issue for me mercifully, but yeah, I can definitely empathise with people as a result. Good on you though for giving it your all despite your disability. If we were on the same datacentre I would absolutely offer to tag along with you for stuff, so you've got some backup. But alas, Leviathan and Louisoix are on different datacentres.

Snip, due to character limit.

I can't imagine there being a way to do that. How could one prove they were real medical records? Also I'm sure people would find a way to forge them or otherwise copy them.
I'm sorry you have pain too; and, yes, it does make it easier to empathize with others!
I'm fortunate in that I have a great group of friends on Leviathan, if you ever move to our server/data center look me up!

Yeah, that's true. Not sure what we can really do here though.

Leviathan and its datacentre is really a no-go for me unfortunately. Been too spoiled by being a European with 20ms ping on the Chaos datacentre! I do have friends here but they've been fragmented due to server moves etc.
