I personaly own a G15 and a G9. Macro Keybord and Macro mouse...

I don't use the macro part of the gears... but I still haven't been banned with all the recent drivers... aka programs!
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I seem to remember seeing a blue some time ago mention that 1 to 1 rebind macros are fine. I do the same with having a different profile so my build worker key is the same for each race.

how does any of this prove he is lying? The only evidence that would be worth sharing is the last fact, and that just makes me suspicious of you.

I wish they would start banning everyone programming macro functions into their keyboards or mice. Gaming is so full of cheating, hacking, and abusing because communities have such relaxed attitudes about it. But yeah this single instance of banning, even if true, doesn't mean anything has changed about Blizzard or it's policies on these things. We need more data before speculating.

I always hated all those people using macros. Good they get treated like any other cheater.

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.

I agree, but WoW is mostly PvE and they have a /macro feature for WoW(which is kinda complicated too btw)

They just need to also take this approach for hackers

macros won't get you banned. blizzard has and always will have much worse problems than people putting 3 keystrokes into 1.

people that say they got banned for macroing usually did worse

I support banning for macro use.

my only question is, if you use a device that makes macros possible, but you don't use the macros, will they ban you on a false positive? That would seriously piss me off. I use both a Razer Naga and a Belkin n52te, which both have macro capabilities, but I don't use that feature. I hope they don't just check your hardware type and say, "oh! here's a cheater! Ban."

EDIT: I suppose I should read more than just the OP. Thanks for checking up on this guys! :D

Regardless of the truth, banning people for using a macro keyboard while not banning others from a sponsored or endorsed keyboard is an antitrust issue. You're clearly leveraging your product to keep others out of the market.

So I doubt they'd let that fly.
