Is using gaming software really not allowed anymore?

This is just disheartening, and people wonder why we aren’t listened to..

Technically speaking, because of their overly vague descriptions of what constitutes a third party tool, that is indeed something they could technically ban you for. Now normally I would say they wouldn't, but considering recent events...

If you want to use a macro, write it out in the in-game utility then bind it to a key or mouse button. Boom, you've got a completely legitimate and legal macro using only features found in the standard game.

I know there is macro feature build in-game but i can't bind those macros for keyboard and mouse programmable G buttons without using gaming software to determine what the keypress is (in my case Alt + [number] and CTRL + [number] keypress), when mostly the keyboard and mouse programmable G buttons are either emply or using either number keys or F1 to F12 keys in their default onboard profile and i'm already using number and F1 to F12 keys for hotbars.

Also i never used the gaming softwares macro features in any game.

If people keep their mouths shut, they can use what they want.

This isnt a difficult concept.

I bet you're using a browser to go through this forum. You should know that a browser is a 3rd party tool that's not associated with SE. Therefore the entire playerbase needs to be purged because they all used it to register their accounts.

Where's the megathread of whataboutisms? I'd love to read the hilarious and facepalm worthy takes on this fiasco in one sitting.
