What the fuck is this shit? An addon isnt a 3rd party program. Are these GMs retarded?

[Ohhgee]

This is nothing new. They have banned players in the past for making their own mods that automate simple game script, and even have banned people for using LazyPig which has existed since retail vanilla.

When AV first released, we queued as a group using yet another simple in game script which was usable in retail, and the raid leaders were banned for "illegal 3rd party program"

I like how strict Nost is on botters, gold sellers, etc. But they need to learn the difference between use of scripts and hacking.

there is no way to tell for us if he was botting to stay online and jump/click certain actions which the addon can't perform so.

pls ban for logitech gaming software

This was bannable in retail as well. Blame the people abusing the soft/hardware, not the GM's trying to make things fair.

anti-afk in bg is the only thing what should be bannable
there is no problem with people who are 24/7 online if they want to stay in org or if afk just for swag or what ever.
it is year 2015 and not 2005 when everyone had white colored crap hardware.
if you tell mit this is bannable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ-wnab6iuE
then gtfo with your ban policy. zero tolerance should not stand for infinite retarded.

Nostalrius is not associated with the former National Socialistic Workers Party of Germany, NSDAP and commonly known as the Nazis. Claiming that is quite insulting.

No it wasn't. I used my G510 macro keys on retail and I use them here.
I asked a GM about it when server came out and I'm pretty sure it's allowed.

Yes it was (and still is) - here's a good explanation on what is legal and what is not:

Just using the keyboard won't flag your account for any reason. As long as you don't do anything that can't be done with the in game macro system you are fine.



If you set up a macro that targets an enemy and goes through your whole rotation without you pushing a button, that's against the rules.

Walls of text, again
Can you tell us - you were banned for TradeDispenser OR you have used something "else" in addiction? to make you prevent anti-afk\etc.
