People Using Controllers to Play?

I was wondering if this is against ToS, and if not how do I do it?

No, itā€™s not against ToS. Easiest to look on youtube for tutorial.

I do it. I like it more.

I do and Iā€™d never go back to keyboard. Look up consoleport.

It is, in fact, supported.

They actually made it so people COULD use a controller for disability purposes.

Why would you? Keyboard and mouse is superior.

Spice it up I guess.

Look up console port and immersion add-ons. Those two are great.

I imagine some people wanna sit in a couch playing on their television or something. I find controller nicer to use too with games. Though not wow. I have to many keybinds to play wow on a controller. Heck my mouse already has nearly as much buttons bound to it then a controller has in buttons.

I donā€™t see why that would be against ToS. Also people have been doing that for a long time, I just see no personal reason to

being ā€˜superiorā€™ in this game is literally of no value to tons of players

all they play for is to relax, chill, and do mindless crap while not caring about anything very much

all they care about is being entertained

Console port and action cam mod. I wouldnā€™t recommend it for competative play or tough content, but itā€™s a lot of fun to level with

A 4 button setup vs someone like me in a battleground is basically going in blind.

nope, not against the ToS at all. thereā€™s actually built in controller support.
I played around with it when SL first launched, itā€™s kinda nice for dailies and such.

itā€™s a lot more than 4, itā€™s at least like 20

Bubble, Wings, judgement, wake the ashes ----> plant flag on enemy corpse. I guess you will need a 5th button for that flag.

But in all seriousness The buttons that can be used are A,B,X,Y Rtrigger+A, Rtrigger+B, Rtrigger+x, Rtrigger+y, left trigger, left bumper, right bumper, up, left, right, down (all on dpad) Left click on joystick could be for mounting.

Iā€™m sure we could squeeze a decent rotation out of 15 buttons. ā€œAā€ button should probably be reserved for gathering/capturing. So thatā€™s still a 14 button rotation.

I never really got the hang of using modifier bumpers and triggers for games on controllers. I tried it in KotOR and Fable, and it just felt clunky to have to press another button before doing whatever attack was tied to that button combo.

Maybe itā€™s because iā€™ve played a lot of platform MMOā€™s? But it feels very natural to me. I didnā€™t know controller support was an option, so I may need to give it a try when doing some dailies or WQā€™s, like what Paen said.

I have all 24 key binds on my controller. Once you master it, you can play at about 90-95% effectiveness.

thereā€™s an addon that helps, but it feels a little awkward to use. i tried it, couldā€™nt get a hang of targetting.

There are several other MMOā€™s that natively support using a gamepad and can even run on console. You might look into one of those.
