I don't support the ban but a warning is a good idea. I do doubt thus is true because of the Marauder keyboard's existence.
How does that make any sense?...
YOU CAN HAVE 1 BUTTON DO 1 THING not 1 button do 5 things.
That's how it makes sense.
I'm so happy they are banning these cheaters. It's about time.

Record unlimited macros on-the-fly without having to take your eye off the game and immediately change between up to 10 profiles without the hassle of going into complex driver menus A keyboard designed specifically for SC2 can get you banned?
It can't if you record more then 1 action per 1 button... If you record 5 actions to 1 button then yes. it will get a cheater banned.

This is awesome and I am so glad Blizzard is taking a hard stance on this.
|
I hate auto-macro users just as much as the next guy, but you had to buy another account? No warning? Finding that hard to believe, but my condolences if that's true.
|
Using macro keyboards constitutes cheating in my mind and I agree with the bans. a warning to the user may be more appropriate in the case of macros but I remain pleased with either option.
And OP, you really need a lesson in capitalization. Capital letters belong at the beginning of sentences, not in long streaks of capitalized words.

Hmm i have been using logitech g15 since the beta and was not banned. I don't use any macros for starcraft 2, though. Still the story god me kinda worried, since as far as i know blizzard has rights to ban any account anytime they want. Perheps what they do is they check repeating fast squences of "keystrokes" rather then type of your keyboard(if thats even possible) and one is safe as long as he is not using them macros
i can make 50 clicks with my mouse on a sec with a macro and with my own finger i can only do 4 or 5 so i bet they can see it

So how's this? I've been using the G15's macro keys to simplify the game-start "GLHF"-s, "You too" business since early beta.
You're telling me I can get banned for 'cheating ingame conversations'?

Yeah and you shouldn't be allow to use macro for anything, even for common chat message.

I really hope this stuff about their own keyboard being allowed to use macroes is fake.
|
hate macros. I consider it cheating, realy, but a warning should be enough at first, then ban if they continue using it.
|
Thumbs us for Blizz. Keyboard macros are pretty pretty lame imo. Like most others posters said though, a warning would be more appropriate than straight banning.

I agree. Manners consume time, so basically if u use a macro to show your manner, its the same as if you were using them for production.
And typing gl&hf at the beginning of a match is not really too time-consumeing...

So it's not bad if I use my mouse buttons for "9" and "0" keys so I can just use them for my other hatches, right? It's not like I'm doing a ton of actions, just 1 number.
|
people have been banned for this already, its not new.
macros are cheating, and people must be banned for it. altho i guess not everyone reads these forums etc, blizz really needs to make some kind of official announcement about whats allowed.
|
aye.. keyboard macros are pretty imba if you know how to do it..
its no problem at all to make a macro that select a command group (all queen group), shift through all the hatcheries.. also making a V stroke and a mouse click every time.. this would require you to center your mouse about center on screen and push the button..
and wam bam! you got all your hatches larvaed in 0.5 sec
its even possible to make it so you push the button and it will run that macro every X second until you push the button again.. just add a reminder to center the mouse if you wish.. grats you have perfect marcro with no effort. drawback would be that you can get a nasty surprise in the middle of a micro battle though
|
I bought a G-15 keyboard for WOW, I don't think the macro setup should be used for SC2. I could make a macro that selects my hatchery with a control group, then select drone and then have it make a unit all in one button. That is too much. 3 actions in 1 button click is cheating. 2 Actions ins 1 button click is cheating as well.
|
good, i think its bullshit you can macro things like inject larvae
someone a while back stated he can do a round of injections in like 1 seconds,
|
Yay, nice work Blizzard! Keep it up!
|
Whether or not it should be illegal I won't say, but it's really stupid that they sell a keyboard specifically designed for SC2 that has macro capabilities and then ban people for using it without any warning

Yes, people should be required to read the announcement/rules and scroll to the bottom. At least then, you wouldn't have an excuse.
Another thing Blizzard should do is give a warning like "we detected you using macros. to prevent cheating these aren't allowed in ANY interface of starcraft 2 or battlenet 2.0. If you are caught againt your account will be temp-banned, and a third offense will be perma-banned."

doing ANYTHING that makes the game easier is cheating adn you deserve what happened to you. Just ask your self, "if this was an olympic sport, would X be allowed". If your answere is NO then its a bannable offence.
