How are there so many people on TL who don't think there's something incredibly wrong about being able to map a complex series of actions to just one button?


Anyway, thanks Grubby for showing me how to get my account banned. Also, I'm glad I don't own any steelseries products.

XsebT I like and respect you and your views but saying that Response's comment was unbelievably stupid was just un called for, and invalid within itself, sure keyboards with macros can potentially help a player, and give a certain edge, but for a player to get this edge he has to first completely relearn how he plays the game (assuming that he didn't always play with macro keys) Which is a pretty good assumption to make, I myself have played around 10 thousand games as Zerg since the beta, for me to stop how I play and completely relearn a new way in which I would have to stop what i'm doing and hit a macro key, then no, the advantage gained over this is so small, and the player with the better mechanics, apm, and skill will still almost always win, this is not giving anyone a huge advantage to win games, Everyone needs to think more logically instead of just thinking "Omg he can press 1 key and do multiple things" , it's not like the macro keys on a keyboard are going to win games for you.


You'd seriously have a problem using one key to inject larvae if you used a macro instead of the 2 current debateable methods because it would be such a detriment to your current "playstyle". lol give me a break.

yes im new here but i know that TL.net is an honorable type gaming community.. not a 1337 haXXor location for tips that will later be incorporated into the auto-play keyboard (whether its 5% automation or 50% automation - as i think someone has pointd out) STAY CLASSY TL.. dont use it

How can anyone argue this should be allowed?

I guess larva inject hack should be allowed as well then, nothing really different then saving myself few clicks every 40s.

I don't understand why you guys all raise your pitchforks at Steelseries but then completely absolve Grubby from all responsibility.

I mean, I like the guy too but he's clearly promoting something that can and will get you banned. You can't just say this is 100% Steelseries and say they paid Grubby to do it. If I got paid to do something illegal, I'm still completely in the wrong, in the same way if you're going to hate Steelseries you better hate Grubby too. Otherwise you're just a fucking idiot.

Point me to once case where this has happend thanks.

Also do take the time out and explain to me how they would be able to tell a macro doing it for me from me preforming the action myself.

can blizzard even check for macro's in thier anti hack programs or whatever they use?

im really surprised grubby agreed to make this video when its common knowledge every RTS game (well at least blizzard own) does not promote macros like this. Next thing there is a macro to spam workers for the first 15 mins of the game.

wow so many persons upset. From my experience its more like 80% of the people are using macro keys. Even though everyone does it its not a good idea to make it a commercial, because everyone will dislike it.
Also from my experience the more stuff people use that makes their competetiv life easier, the weaker they get. So at the end they are as good as if they would have been without all these nice tools.
Thats why i don't worry to much, the only bad thing about it is though, if you lose you think your opponent won because of the evil tools they use. (thats giving bad karma)

I never understand why so many TLers get so worked up over the most unimportant and insignificant things. I mean 30 pages for promoting macros (I know they ~shouldn't be used~), but if you're going to go up in arms at everything that people do that they shouldn't you gunna have a pretty tough life.

:p no you see i want it to be challenging for them, just not me. i'd like to press W , and the harder i press it, the more i WIN... so when things get really tough.. and the W key isnt doing right, ill have no effing clue what to do without my WIN button

I suppose it's very naive to think the RTS scene would be exempt from an auto-play friendly attitude in a post-WOW world. It's sad to see it even on Team Liquid, though.

maybe grubby's promoting this for single player and not for competitive play?

I'm reserving judgement on how I feel about Grubby agreeing to this because no one really knows what went on behind closed doors.

It's actually completely possible that Grubby himself was not aware that such tools are banned on ladder. Obviously they would be banned from tournaments, so as a competitor why would Grubby feel the need to research what Blizzard allow on their ladder? It doesn't concern him.

None of us have the facts here so I see no reason to immediately throw him under the bus.

Steelseries fucked up and Grubby, knowingly or unknowingly, went along with it. At this point in time that is all we can really say for sure.

It's naive to think that all of the people play to improve and have a fair game (in anything really, not just SC2) rather than get profit, whether it is ladder points, money and whatnot. Some people go further down the road than others in helping themselves to achieve these things.
