Blizz bug/hardware stance Edit: Also all these posts begging for a warning first, Blizz has already warned everybody. Just read. Lastly doesn't blizz have the clause in the terms of regulations that all matters involving the game are blizz's property and they can ban you for whatever reason they see fit? I know WoW had a very similar clause | ||

Their stance was something along the lines of "We aren't going to ban you for using a macro keyboard, but we will ban you for using macros that automate your actions" So basically, don't use macros to automate anything in the game. I just use my macro keys as location hotkeys and backspace. Seems like macros would be a hindrance anyways. | ||

I wonder though if they ban everybody who uses these keyboards or just people who actually program macros and use them on these keyboards. After all there could be a lot of copper-platinum players who had this keyboard for a while, didn't use it for macro and didn't know it was against the terms of service. i have one, i haven't been banned. | ||

And well, if Warden detected macros we wouldn't have just one single person saying this, we'd have at least a few thousand. Or it could be that you just threatened to kill some guy that beat you in a game or whatever and got nailed for it, I'm 100% sure though that Warden does not detect macros. | ||

A warning is one thing, but banning is just ridiculous. When Blizzard starts banning people without warning over macros, it's kind of them waving their banhammer around. What stops them from banning people who aren't even using macros but have them on their keyboards? Funny enough maphackers are still roaming ladder and Blizzard has there own macro keyboards :/ ( I'm not saying it's good to use macros, it's obviously an advantage, but I feel Blizzard dealt with this in an unprofessional way.) | ||

They never banned shit in wow if your macro was short, advance G15 macros could repeat a action well enough that you would roam around a area and just farm killing things when written properly. Really more or less botting, when i played wow no one was banned for using G15 to do something like sell all items in inventory or doing mass heals etc, hell because blizz already allows plug-ins that already do that. There stance on wow was purely against botting. | ||

Never used any macros but I was considering setting some up to chat glhf and gg cause I'm so damn lazy lol. I hope they're not banning macro-enabled keyboards if people aren't even using macros... That would be pretty messed up. Hopefully there is a good way of banning macro users without banning people who simply own macro-capable gear but play fair. | ||
