Do you unplug your keyboard when you stop playing SC2? It should be fairly obvious; the feature exists for you to be used where it is permitted. Nowhere does it say that using macros is intended for SC2, just because it's an SC2-themed keyboard. | ||

So, you are NOT allowed to have more than 60 apm in WoW? Guess they don't think that anyone who plays WoW would have more than 60 apm than... and if someone has more, he's cheating :D But maybe an ingame-event isn't an action (but consists of multiple clicks).. otherwise thats really stupid.. considering that the highest apm peak they measured in SC1 was 800 :D (i believe it was Julyzerg during a showmatch) @topic: Macros arent allowed, but i doubt that you'll get banned if you have a macro mouse or keybord. Just don't use it. | ||

OF COURSE macro's are legal in SC2, to consider it as illegal is just plain absurd. I've tried to make a lot of macro's that give me an edge for StarCraft 2 but it's extremely hard to even make a macro that is actually useful in game. You're very limited when it comes to creating macro's that actually give you an advantage. | ||

If he's made some sort of script that searches the entire SC2 map for hatcheries using image recognition and selects the nearest queen and does inject larvae that's not what I consider a fucking key macro. Provide examples of in-game use please. (I call bullshit on this one). | ||

You cannot fucking inject larvae in 7 hatcheries spread out across the map in 0.4 seconds using a string of game actions. You put your mouse in the center of the screen, then hit the macro button which: selects your group of queens, then hits backspace+v+click 7 times. I don't play zerg or have macro capabilities but I'm pretty sure this is what he did. | ||

As a restro druid I had to do about 150-200 APM in hardmode raids and this is not something out of the ordinary. Didn't play WoW for 1,5 years but I'm pretty sure it's still the same. As for your question, yes it is bannable as long as it's not 1:1 macro. There is no apm in wow please stop this. If it's not illegal it should be.It's definetly unfair.Also wow macros weren't unfair because everyone could make and use them. | ||

I mean if you have a "1:1 Macro" that isn't a macro, it's a key bind :/ | ||

Damn, that actually works, simply because of the backspace functionality that cycles through the hatcheries (which I've never used before). But really doing the same thing manually was very fast as well. Cute macro trick that will improve your game slightly but won't win you anything. I don't play Zerg and I would not mind a Zerg using this against me. There's a limitation to using this macro though, you HAVE to have a queen at each hatchery as otherwise the Queens will start running between them and clearly that can't be good (unless they're really close). | ||

There is no apm in wow please stop this. lol what? apm = actions per minute, apm is in every game. You can't see it but you could create an addon to track it, But in wow apm isnt important at all since most classes dont need more than 80-120. (more in HM endgame content but thats pretty obv) | ||

And while on the subject I belive that the Naga mouse is seriosely bad for your hand to hold on, it seems to be so uncomftable to hold on compared to so many other mice. Also a word of advice, I wouldnt actively use the razer naga for sc2 play, it's protential for excessive macro(which clearly is ban reasons) would possible make it one of the only mice to be banned from tournaments when SC2 gets bigger. | ||
