Hah, serves him right, I have a macro enabled keyboard but I refuse to use the macros because I don't see a point in playing a game and cheating.

All this talk about Blizz official keyboards benig ban-safe. Ever consider the way in which the macros are encoded or created are proper on one keyboard and in violation on another? I do understand the anger from the discrepancies but i think blizz will ether ban everyone or issue a statement on why such actions have been taking against specific individuals. Until than just play by the rules.
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

No there is not. If there was then I can see getting a little heated, but until then people are only going to rile themselves up for no reason.

Blizzard also bans people in WoW for using G15 keyboard macros.

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.

According to that thread, he got a refund back (from his 2nd copy), and now is playing again...pretty weak, but at least Blizzard did something instead of nothing.

(Love the title of this thread by the way...hopefully a ton of people get their deserved bans soon...)

This is a good thing imo. 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.

I'd bet a lot that you are just a hacker that "just used a macro", nearly every hacker hacks even though they are not ready to take the punishment if they are caught so they all go crying to support "THIS MUST BE A MISTAKE!".
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.

I find it hard to believe that Blizzard would do such a thing.

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.)
All the pros got dat Ichie.

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.

he's trolling and embellishing... seriously guys if you were banned for hacking to save face wouldn't you blame the ban on macro use? It's not worth Blizzards resources on banning script based macros, seriously they don't give a shit about that. Messing with their IP in any way will bring you to their attention...

Whole story sounds fishy. Bet he did something else and is trying to get sympathies.

Ruh oh. I've been using a G15 keyboard and G9 mouse since day 1 of beta.

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.
