if its against the tos, its against it, you cant really argue beyond that point unfortunately
There is a post in an article from Yoshi about the use of 3rd party programs and talks about automated crafting. Basically from what I remember he was not against this. The TOS we have is from the old director and expect 2.0's release to be much more lenient with this type of activity. I wish I had the links and the quotes. There was also a GM screenshot that showed a JP GM saying its not against TOS to use a turbo macro on a G15 keyboard. I do think the GM was mistaken but I remember the screenshot clearly, it was from nearly a year ago though.

For 2.0 they already said they are planning to give an API or some form of developer kit for addons in FFXIV. Take it for what its worth. If you macro craft and get in trouble and banned don't complain, is it likely that your going to get caught? probably not.
