Are Macros Allowed?

[geninrising]

per  DERebecca in a post where a guy got banned

 

Ah, the community is right here, only support can assist with these types of issues. Although in this case the macro would not have triggered a ban as we do not consider that on our list of things that trigger hack detection

 

Soooo are they allowed?????

[Chris9428]

As far as I know, they're not allowed.

[Relkin]

Nope.

[Zeus154]

Typically macros in any game aren't allowed. Mostly to gain an advantage over a certain aspect will be unfair, and might make the game less enticing, or just boring.

[Reithur]

They are not allowed.  Don't do it.

 

Instead, consider rebinding keys and buttons within the game interface; there's some clever combos available within their system.

 

Sample; Rebind Mousewheel Scroll Up to Jump and Mousewheel Scroll Down to Melee.  Scroll Up then Scroll Down to jump attack.

 

Or use a mouse with more buttons and offload some tasks to your other hand.

auto hotkey can be considered macro so....

also rebecca commented auto hotkey and some macros are ok just for rapid fire, but i cant bother looking through the posts for it.

macros are never allowed in any game unless your doing single player games then feel free to use it , but a macro is a hack cause macros are used to make tasks using the application less repetitive. In the latter case, they are a tool that allows a programmer to enable Code Reuse , Macros are used to make a sequence of computing instructions available to the Programmer as a single program statement, making the programming task less tedious and less error-prone

I've been using the Logitech Gaming software since day one to spam attack on semi auto weapons, it won't get you banned.

The problem is where you draw the line on macro use since even aim-bots could be considered macros.

as DE_steve stated macro are alowed, but i think rapid fire thing doesn't work, they put a queue on weapons.

[BloodKitten]

just as a note to auto hotkey users, if you have warframe through steam, the in game steam blocks auto hotkey, you'll want to launch the game without the steam interface.

as a side note for DE, please make steam let us use UGC cards if we made account through steam? >.<

Rapid fire works, e.g acrid shoots faster with the macro for me, even though I click like a madman.

This is the single stupidest argument I have read on these forums today.

 

Also, there's macro support in a ton of games. FFXI, World of Warcraft, and hell, any given Source engine game you can execute macros with either an extended key bind or by typing up a simple text file, putting it in the right place, and binding a key to call it. Having a macro doesn't instantly make someone amazing like a wall/headshot/speed hack, all it does is make someone faster.
