I have aquired a fortrek G7 and it comes with the usual left/middle/right click and also 4 extra buttons, 2 of them are easily binded to advance and retreat, but 2 of them are by default used to change dpi settings on the go. trying to binding these new keys to work on wow i discovered that i didn’t have any other binding option that would work correctly except creating a macro through the mouse own config software, the way it works is that i record my key presses and when i press the macro button it will replicate them, so, i first did a simple bind, hold control and press 0. worked very well and i could now bind my single button input to a single spell output in the game. my question is, with the macro tool i could in theory record a much higher numbers of inputs to be played again with the mouse button, and with the tool help i could in theory cast frame perfect entire combos. making it so that a single input have limitless outputs. my question being, what are my limitations with this? can i get in trouble even if i bind a single key to my macro?
If you purchase a second subscription you can do pretty much w/e you want seeing as multiboxing programs allow to do stuff those mice can do that would otherwhise be considerd automation aka botting
anything that is not “press one button and have one action” is against the rules.
So as long as i keep my macro to a single keybind in game im good ?
Yes and using pauses is a no no.
using pauses? you mean like make it repeat itself?
You have to make sure that to one hardware event (e.g. a mouse button click) follows one in-game event (e.g. Action Bar button pressed). If in said action bar is a macro, it’s no difference.
As far as I know any third party softwear counts as cheating and ends in a ban.
The program that lets you use “out of game” macro commands, is a third party software so it is a bannable offense!
Third party softwares and Addons are different because Addons even have a little menu in game, and even then some Addons count as cheating and therefore are banned or on the verge of getting banned.
Third party software is not allowed at all.
Maybe if you own multiple accounts Blizzard won’t ban you for cheating and call it “multiboxing” or whatever instead cuz of the extra money you pay, but otherwise, third party softwares are cheating.
Would be nice if a GM or Admin from Blizzard would comment on this thread tho, this is not the first “I have a software for my mouse I wanna use for out of game macros and stuff” thread I’ve seen here.
