I think someone's a little upset they got cheating, and macros are cheating. Fabricated story because he's mad. | ||

Banning his key so he has to spend another $60 is not right. No warning either? For shame. Why warning? It is common knowledge that macros and third party stuff is not allowed. Any warning would make the penalty too soft and a harsh penalty is the only way to deter people from cheating in a sport. The one real problem I see is that Blizzard needs to be sure they are not making a mistake themselves. They need their evidence to be 100% foolproof. If they have sufficient proof on cheats just ban the key and thats it. | ||

WoW has built in macro-functionality so it's not entirely the same thing. I do think they should warn first tho, since many will probably crossover from WoW to SC2 and are used to macros. | ||

now just ban hackers! Blizzard will probably do a huge swipe like they did with D2. Can't imagine why they couldn't stop it earlier. | ||

This means I'll have no problems if I set keys 7-0 to my G-Keys on my g15? wanted to do this for easier access to the last controlgroups because I just have smaller hands than other people... | ||

Yeah you'll be fine. Don't set them to do something like select your nexus and build probes. It's that AND that gets you. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i36.tinypic.com/mt7dzb.png) + Show Spoiler + Just kidding I do not believe that blizzard would ban non-blizzard keyboards with macro support. If you imagine all the problems that microsoft had because using Internet Explorer as default browser in Windows. And that was just default, it was not that we could use ONLY microsoft browser for browsing internet. Companies creating keyboards with macro support could sue blizzard. I might be wrong, but I do not believe blizzard would be so evil. I would believe (and support) if they banned ALL macro keyboard, but banning players without warning is just not right. | ||

Again, they are not banning people with macro keyboards, I have one myself. They are banning people who USE the macro keyboards to cheat ingame. It is clearly, CLEARLY spelled out in multiple places that using macros is cheating, and Warden can tell the difference between you just having a macro-capable keyboard and you actually using the macros. I really don't know why this is even a discussion, macros give you a cheater's edge that can be every bit as potent as a maphack. No, they should not, and should never, issue warnings to cheaters, they should key-ban them immediately, as long as they have proof that they cheated. Make them spend $60 every time they get caught, that'll thin out the cheaters really quick. I've seen posts from people claiming that they let a "friend" play, the friend cheated, and they got banned. Even if that's true (and I think it's often a lie), then you: 1) Violated the EULA by sharing your account, so you'll get no sympathy from anyone 2) Apparently weren't paying attention to what your "friend" was doing, and let him install cheat software but more importantly 3) Rather than taking your $60 out of the person responsible, which would be your "friend," you choose to whine that Blizzard is being unfair. Grow up. If there was a friend and he got you banned, he owes you 60 bucks. Make him pay up or kick him to the curb. It's the equivalent of you letting him borrow your car only to find he scratched the door while he used it. | ||

So Razer an SteelSeries Keyboards are just BanBaits? They are made especially for Starcraft 2, and they have programable macro keys. Can you put a source where is said that it is forbidden? Tried to find it, but could not... | ||
