Talking with a GM about AutoIT scripts

[clawlancer]

Hi guys Just wanted to share with you this:

Thank you for your ticket.

The general rule with addons and macros is this :

- It must not modify any existing game files.
- It must not automate any part of game play.

To explain further, if you set up your mouse so that button x is action y, then that’s fine. However if button x performs a series of actions, that would be considered botting.

I have watched the video you linked, and while this method of farming is using the normal game interface, it definitely looks like an exploit.

To sum up, it sounds like your mouse macro to switch gear would be okay, if it doesn’t modify existing game files. I’d recommend not to use the exploit you linked however.

I wish you a great day and happy gaming. May the dice always roll in your favour !!

Kindest Regards,

In Conclusion, GM said, this AutoIT script thingy is kinda like an Exploit, and he don't said, do not use it, only said be aware of using it. This is the answer for all of you guys, who think they are in risk using Sharkoth farmin^^

On his "Macro to switch gear would be ok" there was a blue post this week saying they will announce something about MF gear switching soon.

I don't think anyone thought, for a second, that using AutoIt to bot Sarkoth was allowed.

People are just questioning whether or not it's detectable to use AutoIt for botting purposes. AutoIt does not inject anything so it is hard for Warden to detect.

He also says button x, is action y and that's fine, as long as button x doesn't perform a series of actions.

If button x swaps all your gear for MF or GF gear, that's more than one action being performed by button x, yet he says that is okay.

WAT?

Under his definition of okay, a different button would have to swap each piece of gear.

" I’d recommend not to use the exploit you linked however."
For me , it means, that is not bannable feature, if it was, he said that, do NOT use it, or you risk your account.

If you follow what this GM says you are allowed to use it but he will not recommend it lol!, thats just awesome

People are so stupid...just asking to get the game nerfed...

This is like asking the cops about your plans to murder someone and expecting them to not be suspicious. Derp.

this is the fastest way to get yourself banned. using simple macro recorder and repeating for hours. people have already been banned for doing that with Captain Haille Chest

Having a script fully automate gameplay sounds LEGAL to me guys.
