Spamming change targets and attack while watching tv, people thought I was botting, I come back to my screen(changed display output from PC to set top box) and I have trade requests and angry tells.

Ban-able? Who knows.

Stupid? Absolutely.

Using third party programs or tools in FINAL FANTASY XIV is strictly prohibited since they allow users to gain an unfair advantage over other players. The use of programs or tools within FINAL FANTASY XIV that allow certain continuous actions to be performed automatically are often referred to as absentee play, which is also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Additionally, during the course of an absentee play investigation, players may be requested to respond to or comply with a GMs instruction. Failure to do so is consider a violation and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account.

Basically means that it is ban-able but there's really no way to prove you're doing it, or any tools to detect 3rd pt programs, unless you're caught red-handed by the GMs

Yeah i find it really annoying too. You're clogging up the chat with your macros..

Well it is bannable, Will it happen... that remains to be seen, You intentionally countered the auto kicker for AFK, so thats exploiting a bug, while watching TV, so the reports were likely cuz they thought you were botting, problem is you cant prove you weren't. either way you were breaking the rules. so I doubt a ban, but it would be legitimate. Bad time to look like a bot while they are cracking down on RNG, Why didn't you just log out?

You should not be using macros that are not built in game. If you get banned it's your own fault.

If you want to watch tv while you play set it up so you can see both screens. It's not hard to do mindless activity in game and watch your favorite shows. This is what I do when I farm, craft and gather.

Some of you seem to mistakenly think SE has to 'prove' something in order to terminate your account.

Tidbit of advice: They don't.

This is called unattended play, which is against T.O.S. Educate yourself.

Unless you come onto the forums and tell them you're doing it.

What hes doing isnt unattended play, it's blind play.

The Macro's hes using are ingame macro. They dont put anything in the chat log like the above person said.

This is just a target macro he has bound, for example, to L2+X followed by a Weaponskill Macro on L2 + 0

All he has to to is alternate these 2 key presses and he can target mobs and fight them without looking at his screen. This is no different that if he were looking at his screen and just ignoring anyone.

It isn't bannable, you havent used any third party programs, you were just ignorant of the players around you and that is no crime.

I Ignore tells all the time, I dont expect to get banned for it.
