Is it possible to repeat a macro, or is that illegal?

[Angelhearth]

Hitting Synthesize and the macro button is kind of tedious, so I was wondering if there's a way to repeat that process? If not, is it legal to make a local macro that does this?

That kind of automation is not allowed by FF14 ToS.

My mistake I misread the OP. That would require third party software which, yes, is illegal. Macros can't string into each other. So you'll have to endure hitting your macro buttons in order or repeatedly.

I'd suggest rigging up some kind of physical device that will repeatedly click the mouse button every few minutes.
Or you could perhaps hire someone else to play the game for you. They would of course have to be physically present within your room, using your hardware, because sharing account information is against the ToS. This may be problematic during the current pandemic, but maybe having to press one button every few minutes or so is a hardship worth avoiding even if it comes with a higher mortality risk.

Ahh, finally, a troll, I was afraid there wouldn't be any on this post!

At this point, I feel like they should just allow looping macros if they're not going to bother enforcing people using bots to spam craft consumables 24/7.

That's not trolling just dry humor. You should look up Bill Murray, master of it.

Yeah, Bill Murray, well, not my favorite comedian, I'm more into dry English humor, something where you actually have to be halfway intelligent to understand.

Some gamers keyboards allow macro then that's some kind of ambiguous case. The ToS are against third part tools that change the game itself or trick it but Razer tools and Logitech tools are "fair" macro engines by themselves.

This sounds like more of a troll to me frankly.
I'm English, so I'm not oblivious to the differences between American and British humour, but Bill Murray is closer to dry British wit than some British comedians.
