This guy could be one of the aforementioned blatant hackers. We have nothing to go by but his word, and how good is the word of a blatant hacker?

Maybe next time the user will read the terms and regulations when he installs starcraft instead of just checking the little box and clicking next. Blizzard states in its SC2 policy that use of third party hardware/software that creates and unfair advantage is prohibited. Blizzards stance in the past has allowed macros that the user creates. (In Wow you where only allowed to program macros that you physically typed out, so pressing one hotkey in SC and having multiple actions take place is in violation and consistent with blizzard's past actions.) I don't feel sorry for people that cant read.

On-The-Fly Macro Recording allows for Effortless Configuration
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?

Well I use a macro for Gl Hf and gg so does that mean I will get banned?
User was warned for this post

So would they ban me if I use that starcraft 2 keyboard and use macros? That would seem like really unfair. Someone should get some publicity on this and really embarrass blizzard.

pretty awesome if that's true. kind of doubt blizzard would ban macros without warning though seeing as how they endorse macro keyboards for WoW and such.
This, frankly i just think the guy is trolling. I mean steel series already sells a keyboard with maro keys labeled sc2 so this is unlikely.

Blizzard can't ban people for using macros while endorsing an official SC2 macro keyboard...
That would be like saying "cheating is ok, just as long as we are the ones profiting from it"
|
I really doubt this is true, If the razer sc2 keyboard can use macros then its ridiculous to ban people for macros. I don't think macros should be used at all, but you cant sell/endorse a product then ban people for use it, or one that's similar.
I have a g11 and the only macros I have bound are for the global controls on my music player so i can control it in game with out alt+tab
|
That you're allowed key macro's using Blizzard supported hardware definitely smells like an Activision prank. Of course it'd be baseless accusation without a source so if anyone would know the details on that, I'd be interested to hear.
|
This guy was banned for hacking, not macro keyboards of any kind. This was a post generated by the user to create pathos and get him unbanned.
|
I have a g15 but have never actually used the macro buttons. Banning people like me would cause an outrage. Doubt it will happen tho.
|
i support blizzard 100% on this, its the same thing as cheating
|
I believe advanced macros have been bannable in WoW for quite a long time so it carrying over to SC2 wouldn't be surprising. You have to remember that the SC2 keyboards/mouses actually aren't created by Blizzard but rather a few companies have bought the rights to slap those sc2/wow stickers on them and market them as made for game x, y and z.
People shouldn't jump in to conclusions and think that Blizzard licensed keyboards aren't going to be banned. That would be absolutely retarded and it's not very realistic that Blizzard has created antihack software that specifically targets their "rival" products.
|
Why the hell are people saying this awesome? You realize they only ban people who cheat with unofficial keyboards, right?
You can cheat with keyboard macros perfectly fine with Blizzards "official" macro keyboard:

This is so ridiculous. Not only do they not give a warning, but they basically outright say you can use blizzard sponsored hardware that supports macros but not third party hardware. How much more greedy can they get?

Nope. Blizzard said the ones they themselves sponsor are fine according to the guy who was banned.

I'm of the opinion that macros should def not be allowed. Apparently, the game is already too easy at the execution level.
|
So that means I can't bind my "backspace" to my "F1" key  ?
Going to make a post on the sc2 forums to verify.

i doubt blizzard is so lame as to allow people to sport branded gear without finding out what they gear is in full before hand.

I love how he says in the thread that blizzard Is going against his "rights". It's video games. not civil rights lol.
