Thread: Are non gameplay macros acceptable?

  1. #1

    Question Are non gameplay macros acceptable?

    So I have a g19 keyboard and while I understand it is cheating, unfair as well as against tos and would result in a ban to create macros that enhance your gameplay ability I was wondering if a couple of these macros I created will get me in trouble.

    I have only 3, /dance, /cheer, and one to reply to a person who has messages me outside of my current game to say I can't talk right now.

    What do you guys think? Is warden able to distinguish between macros that give you some sort of edge and ones that lend no practical in match benefit?
    I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

    there should be no sort of problem with it if your keyboard doesn't influence with actuall gameplay by making the game easier for you...

    but why have the keyboard at all, then?
    i'm not saying you should cheat nor do i object with your usage of it as i see no problems with it if it is as you say...
    but what do you use it for, then?

    Interesting fact, the StarCraft II "Officially sanctioned" keyboards have Macro buttons on them. It's just odd.

    Using the mini LCD I can control fraps and vent without having games windowed. Also the macro stuff is great for non competitive games.

    Uhm, but what kind of keyboard macro could enhance gameplay abilities?

    Technically any macro that executes more than a single keystroke is illegal. Whether it's enhancing abilities is a discussion for a different topic.

    Every time I read your posts, I think, "what a newb."

    ...and then I remember you're in diamond.

    Please use your shift key when it is appropriate...
