He deserves the ban, although I do think Blizzard should've warned first. After being drophacked several times today, I have zero sympathy for cheaters -.-;
Yes I'm butthurt.

guys just read the OP's email that he got, it says nothing about just 3rd party macoring, just macroing period.

"Using macro's can get you banned. Its not illegal to use the keyboard. However it is illegal to basically bot anything. You must have to push the key yourself. You cant map out 5 actions to one button. You can be banned for that"

so even if you macro on their keyboard you'll get banned because " you cant map out 5 actions to one button " PERIOD..... so their not just trying to get you to buy their keyboard to macro, they don't care if you use their keyboard or not. so stop with that activision type bullshit, BLIZZ IS IN THE RIGHT...here

If you look at the OPS post he doesn't have a link to that claim by saying its supported by blizzards keyboard. so basically if you look at it, all hes trying to do is start up a rukkis because he got banned for macroing.

damn people still comment on this thread?

"i was banned for using macros on my XYZ" has been the excuse of botters since bots existed. he probably does own a g15 or whatever, and he thinks to himself (like everyone does that gets caught) how would blizzard know the difference between if i bot and if i just use lots of macros? they can't possibly know unless they are right next to me.

fortunately, game companies are not full of naive retards as we are sometimes led to believe. they have systems that catch the botters, cheaters and hackers. they have all the data and all the evidence they will ever need.

Wait, so if you use their keyboard and do the exact same thing you won't get banned? Are you sure that's what they meant?


I never implied such a thing. If you use "their" keyboard, I would imagine you're just as likely to get hit with the banstick as with any other keyboard that supports macros.

The overall point is: "BLIZZARD IS PURPOSEFULLY VAGUE" about what constitutes a ban, because any attempt to delineate what is and isn't ban-worthy would expose Blizzard/Activision to legal action from parties that would purport not to have contravened whatever line Blizzard chose to draw in the sand. So, sensibly, Blizzard chooses to draw no such line.


They have stated multiple times that macroing a key to do several actions is bannable(they call it botting). I fail to see where your getting this vagueness from.

I also dont really understand the argument that since they support a macroable keyboard that all macros should be allowed. Im pretty sure there is not a single new gaming keyboard on the market that doesnt have macros. Are people really suggesting they should make their own keyboard that isnt macroable and screws you out of its use for other products?

Absolutely no warning. Absolutely shameful. Very strongly against how blizzard is handling this, especially since it isn't very clearly outlined what will get you banned as far as hardware goes.

I don't understand what is so hard about this... one button doing more than one thing is cheating...

How is this not obvious?

Okay

the OP cites a now broken link, and the discussion has turned into one about macro keyboards, which can be found and bumped elsewhere.
