“input broadcast” is a fairly generic term. Even a sentence if inserted is an input (in fact they are called < input type = “text” > in html) and then I repeat also DBM broadcasts input in the following example:
Takkero takes 1 debuff stack (input)
takkero’s DBM instructs all players with dbm installed to have 1 debuff stack
all players have a summary table with all players (now including takkero) having the debuff (OUTPUT)
In computer science everything is I / O (input / output) and not just what you think “I press the button” otherwise “Hardware Input Broadcasting” should be specified as there is also “Software input Broadcasting” which can also happen without pressing any button.
Fine, use the addon but then don’t come back whining that you’ve been banned.
I have looked how it works but I haven’t used it.
The addons makes another Warcraft do stuff without you making any input into that window, If that’s not the definition of botting then nothing is.
I am going to stop replying here as you have convinced yourself it’s not against the rules, go and read the comments on the addon, people have been banned for using it.
Examples of broadcast software is the Hungering Miasma weakaura where there is a sender (raid leader) and everyone else in the raid has the receiver. In this case the sender broadcasts to all the other 19 players where they have to go to sookare and they have as output spam / yell and the instruction of where to go to position.
I repeat … Input Broadcasting does not mean “I press a button and it is repeated on all characters” but simply that ANY information called INPUT is broadcasted (ie disseminated) to more people who therefore receive an input (from the sender) and that transform into an output (which can also be just text on the screen)
But in fact, forgive me, I was not asking YOU who are inventing computer science to give me an answer but to blizzard support.
And I don’t rely on comments without any foundation of truthfulness. In those comments I could write that using that addon I won 1 million euros in the neighborhood lottery and everyone would read it. Maybe those people have ALSO used EMA or maybe they are people who just hate multiboxing and troll in the comments.
It was enough for me to know that wow uses an API controller with which an addon interfaces i / o and in fact blizzard can change the controller if he wants to protect some api / functions as he has already done several times for example:
afterwards archimonde protected the x, y position aes of the characters to avoid addons with “radars”.
it has protected the nameplates of the allies (in raid / party) preventing the addons from modifying them
now i don’t know if you were there at that time but i went through it and nobody was banned because they used DBM (player position radar) or Kuinameplates (the first one who changed allied nameplates)
And write “don’t come back and complain if you get banned” is really childish and I’m here to have a serious discussion and not based on who thinks that “input” is just pressing a key on the keyboard
Then you are asking “someone” who won’t answer your question anyways.
Customer Support cannot confirm whether a particular software is allowed or not.
The use of third party programs may not always be authorized in-game. We recommend you carefully read the Anti-Cheating Agreement before you install add-ons or mods.
An ‘unauthorized’ third party program as used herein shall be defined as any third party software, code and/or method not expressly authorized by Blizzard, including without limitation, any ‘add-on’ or ‘mod’ that …
They won’t say anything about any add-on (or a specific usage of certain APIs) and can ban you whenever they feel like it because you are responsible for what you install on your PC, including mods and add-ons. That the add-on uses an API call which Blizzard has control over does not guarantee anything nor grants you any rights.
enables or facilitates cheating of any type, including botting and/or changing or facilitating gameplay;
allows users to modify or ‘hack’ a Blizzard game’s user interface, environment, and/or experience in any way not expressly allowed by Blizzard in the EULA;
intercepts, mines or otherwise collects information from or through Blizzard games.
and based on this 3 rules EMA is not doing anything of those.
Watch that “including without limitation” indicates ANY software / addon / etc without limitations … that is to say “there is nothing certified apart from the game itself” AND THAT VIOLATES THE FOLLOWING:
It is therefore simply a way of saying that “everything outside the game itself can violate the rules” and simply not saying “this is good and that is not” by listing addons let’s call them “certificates”
Take it the other way, is there in the whole wow history a single registered provable and well know case where the use of an in-game lua addon lead to a ban ?
And i’m not talking about an addon itself who has been banned or a api function that has been restricted or protected, but a case where a user where ban for using the API publicly available.
To my knowledge, everytime the use of a publicly available function don’t please blizzard, they just nerf/protect it.
However, I remain now of the idea that you are in bad faith since you have linked the anti-fraud eula VOLUNTARILY OMITTING the sub articles that limit the main article itself. This is definitely a sign of bad faith I’m sorry
