Blizzard banning all software that emulates a key input

But there are add-ons out there that allow you to do just that. Those add-ons are not banned which would be easy for them to do if it was a violation.

Those addons, specifically GSE that I know off, creates a one key macro that uses only in built macros that only work if you press a button, once per macro. You still need to be there to press the fabled one key per action that Blizzard is said to allow no matter what.

In the end an external software can emulate a key press in anyway shape of form, even Synapse can do that. I could emulate the keypress to multiple windows, aside from not having more than 1 current active account, what’s stopping me? What’s stopping Blizzard turning around and saying “You all get a ban” and because they are so damn vague about it none of us can contest it and we just have to deal with it.

Maybe, but I doubt it. The game can’t distinguish the difference in your extra mouse buttons and your keyboard.

I doubt any tracking software can either. Especially considering your naga buttons are generally bound to keyboard pushes anyway. Therefore the game and likely their tracking software will just think you’re using your keyboard to play.

You don’t need a mouse to play. You don’t need a keyboard to play. You only need one.

The software will likely think you’re only using a keyboard.

There are also mouse/keyboard hybrids out there.

And besides. If you get banned because of a false positive, you just have to contact support. They’re going to be reasonable about it. And if you are banned for it, at most it’ll only be for a day.

The middle mouse on my Razer Deathadder from 2013 just died this week. Feelsbadman.

which is why its best to just avoid ANYTHING that can be against the TOS…even if by accident.
My keyboard has those macro keys on the side I dont have anything programmed into them for fear of accidently bumping them and setting off the alarms.
There was a guy inhere maybe 3 years ago who got banned for using his keyboard macros. As usual hes playing innocent, but you could tell by his defense that he knew going in that those keys can get you banned, but decided to use them anyway, thinking he could outsmart the system.

Dont just avoid evil…avoid any appearance of evil…so you arent mistakenly grouped with evil.
I personally wouldnt use any addon that had anything in it that the rules could get my account banned over. Just isnt worth the risk.

My mouse doesn’t function at all without G Hub. So there’s no way to do that.

Besides, others helped me out with is a while ago. My concern was whether stuff I didn’t know about in that program potentially getting me into trouble. Which I guess I don’t need to worry about.

G Hub isn’t an addon. Aka and I were concerned about base software for a mouse or keyboard.

There is no agenda. Try reading the thread and my posts. Hafta is 100% WRONG, because this thread was never about “butthurt.” God, you two really can’t read. :roll_eyes:

He’s nowhere near on topic. Neither of you read what this thread is about.

Do you have a problem with stucked movement keys with tartarus??

No, but i don’t use it much, still haven’t gotten used to it.

Just spray some isopropyl/cleaning alcohol onto the keypad and move it around a bit, I had that issue because I spilt a drink onto my keypad, but spraying the alcohol into that area cleaned it out.

This does need to be clarified because it has caused already issues and I feel any drastic changes like that will be led to improper actions towards people innocent of said action.

Look I don’t have a problem with people using like macros from their keyboard or their mouse at all sometimes people do it for accessibility reasons if they can’t use their hands very good and that’s why it should be acceptable it doesn’t cheat it does a specific action for like GSE for example, and I’m all for it if it’s for like accessibility reasons especially who cares as long as they’re not like legitimately cheating with like an actual bot I don’t care and I think getting banned for mouse offer which is extremely common in computers and gaming these days it should just be accepted. I mean people pour so much money into this game and so many hours of their life just have it ripped away over something like mouse software it’s not a big deal blizzard please chill out on it seriously.

If you have to ask, you probably know the answer.
