… this is just a warning.
We now have a single button assist feature coming.
I dont know if any of you have played retail Aion but we seem to be sailing toward their auto play button.
Yes that game is dead but if Blizzard EVER decides to let you enable an auto afk button to this game you can activate i strongly believe that will be the death nail for this game.
I hope and pray that day never comes. But we know who owns Blizzard now. Never…say never.
Blizzard has an entire team of people who work to prevent and ban botting.
This game isn’t dead. They aren’t going to suddenly allow botting just because they implemented an accessibility option.
Let’s start panicking about this imagined scenario right away!
Wanna know how many times this was said?
Those contrarians are STILL here for some odd reason!
Ya’ll really need to learn how to use the search function. There have been several dozen posts about this since it was announced over a month ago.
Right? So many Chicken Littles doom posting about this.
there’s a difference between accessibility (button literally adds like 0.3s to your gcd) and auto play as seen in korean mmos. this + highlight assist are meant to either teach you if you’re new & learning the game or help you if you have disabilities that make it hard to play.
Sequence one button macros have been usable in this game from the beginning. You press the button for each ability. It is not close to autoplay.
Ion said they don’t want to dumb down the game, but hmm. Adding one button rotation assistant sounds like it does exactly that. There should be heavier penalties for using it if its to remain in the game.
it’s accessibility, and if i recall it only ever uses your damaging moves, as a healer/tank you still have to figure out when to use your utilities/heals/taunts/etc… as an accessibility feature it’s fine, doesn’t need more penalty than 0.3gcd since people are already going to complain about users using it in any content past the baseline, but maybe if it lets them get a taste of M+2 and they have the capacity to do so it’ll make them strive to push further.
Noted. I mostly just don’t want to see this being considered meta to use.
It has a GCD penalty on it, so it won’t.
There’s no way it could be since it falls behind people doing their rotation like normal.
No, im not saying it is. We never know what the devs are thinking or the game director. Its a possibility at this point.
I never ever ever thought that they would introduce rotation assist and give a 1 button assist. That shocked me to my core. Now? Auto farming assist or play assist isnt off the table.
It really isn’t.
Why? GSE has existed for ages.
Yeah it is.
You really actually think so… alright well dont be suprised if youre wrong.
Let me know when they fire the entire Hacks/Botting team, k? 
Completely ignores that this isn’t auto and has been able to be done since the beginning of the game. Starting to get concerned with the amount of people that make a big deal about things they’ve never used nor tested.
Thats a third party addon.
Nothing is off the table since this is now a feature from blizzard. I wont be surprised in the future if they implement something atrocious like a auto play button
They allowed the third party addon to exist and being able to write your own macros. They were never bothered by it.
Botting is off the table because they’ve never budged on that and and have banned things that are automated. You have to put in inputs.
There are already rotation addons, so the single button assist feature isn’t really a sky = falling event.
