Is AutoHotKey an illegal program for Warframe?

[Zomrixx]

I am interested in using AutoHotKey macros, but I'm not sure if it will get me banned.

If anyone could tell me if it is illegal or not, that be very appreciated.

Macros, like your AHKs, are allowed so long as they are not designed to play the game for you.

Depends how you use them, if you're using them to reduce RSI from ability and click spam in PvE elements I would say that's probably okay. If you're using them to auto-farm or to gain an advantage in PvP, that's probably not cool.

Here's the text from the EULA covering this subject:

Quote

You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:

f.      use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software, tools or content designed to modify the Software, the Service or the Game experience;

It basically says don't use anything that changes the game experience. The wording has a bit of grey area, but I interpret it to mean gaining a distinct, unfair, or unintended advantage. If you're trying to prevent an injury or hardware breaking from overuse from an action you would probably be doing anyway, that seems reasonable.

I'm using AHK to prevent an issue with my mouse caused by a firmware.

I've been using ahk macro for tygris reload  for a few months by now, never had any problems.

I have an autorun macro, never any problems.  DE have stated several times that AHK scripts for QOL issues is fine.
