    The thing is this.
    It is impossible to tell the difference between a keyboard/mouse macro and a bot.
    So you can legally state in the TOS that you are not aloud to use those functions.
    There was already a prema-ban of a Japanese player for using a turbo controller.
    The line is drawn as such.
    If you are AFK and a macro is running you are botting and can get your account disabled.
    This has happened under Yoshi's watch so precedence is set.

    True but I have a Logitech G13 AND a G110 KB. I don't create Macros to "cheat" the game but for simplicity. My G13 replaces having to use WASD on my KB because I have the joystick mapped to those keys. 1-0 are also on there. I used to have the Macro keys on my G110 KB access my gear swaps or De-Buffs/inv (poitons etc) since switching between macro sets i.e. M1, M2, and M3 on my G13 ... well, sometimes caused a lot of deaths since I was no longer properly using 1-0 for battle actions lol.

    Technically you're right and I don't disagree but as for answering the OPs post ... he/she has been "warned" of possible ToS implications.

    First the TC used was a product from Playstation a consorcery wich SE has a contract with them for manufactoring products ence know has "games" in this case a MMORPG. Therefore, the customer was injured with a bad concept of botting. And I know this because I had one of those myself, always been a player of keyboard, until I found a good controler suited for fingers wich its not a Playstation product rendering the previous one with a stamp for the trashcan.
    But lets the law be putted aside for now, the term of "bad concept of botting" is indicated in this case, for consecutive hours of bashing one or two buttons, putting your fingers, hands and wrists in a form of stress that will be manifested with short or long periods of pain in/on the previous body parts mentioned above. How do you avoid that?

    Just stopping playing or try to play for shorter periods? Nope, when you have those pains you have stepped to the point of no return. In this case just try to find a good controler or a good ergodynamic keyboard to avoid and stressless those symptoms.

    A good term for the concept of booting is this: AFK while using third party software

    Undie your keyboard is a good birthday present. Congrats!
    The one I'm looking for is this little baby, hope everyone like it, thought it's still a concept. ; ;
