ToS: Third Party Programs and Turbo Controllers

[Antipika]

"So, any player who uses third party programs, a "turbo" controller, programmable keybord keys or any other method (such as taping down the enter key) is taking the risk of seeing their Final Fantasy XIV account suspended or closed."

Lol what?

That is a mistranslation. I'm a native French speaker and the French message says "stuck a key" (i.e. you use a piece of cardboard or paper to "stuck" one of your key so it presses something repeadtly).

What about "automated" hardware? Would using this to press the Enter key be considered botting?

Not allowed either according to the original message.

No. In case of turbo controllers, it's the hardware that does it. You can't distinguish a turbo from a non-turbo controller.

You can't. So only two way to get banned :

1. You admit using it
2. You are AFK when a GM is interacting with you
