Re: Stance on Macros - Is this macro allowed?
@shinyzE Most third party software can lead to account suspensions. What your suggesting is really no different than macros that automatically fire semi automatic guns for you. It’s literally the definition of cheating, you’re using a third party software to gain an advantage.
Here is a link to a simple explanation of the rules. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/apex-legends/apex-legends/play-by-the-rules-in-apex-legends/
Here is a link to the more detailed TOS. https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/#section10
And here is the detailed explanation on third party software (including macros).
“EA utilizes certain technologies to detect and prevent cheating in connection with the use of EA PC Products. These are described below. You can visit https://www.ea.com/legal to know which technology is used with each EA PC Product.
Punkbuster. EA may use Punkbuster Anti-Cheat technology from Even Balance, Inc. You may opt to install Punkbuster during the installation of an EA PC Product. If it is installed, when you connect online to a game server using Punkbuster, Punkbuster will monitor your computer's random access memory (RAM) for Unauthorized Third Party Programs running concurrently with the EA PC Product and any modifications to the EA PC Product's files enabling or facilitating cheating. An Unauthorized Third Party Program is a third party program or file (such as a "addon", "mod", "hack", "trainer", or "cheat") that EA believes (i) enables or facilitates cheating of any type: (ii) allows users to modify or hack the game interface, environment, and/or experience in any way not expressly authorized by EA: or (iii) intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through the game. If you uninstall the EA PC Product, Punkbuster will remain dormant on your computer. To uninstall Punkbuster, run the executable at https://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe.
EA may use its own or Third Party anti-cheat technologies.
EA Anti-Cheat Technologies. EA may use its own anti-cheat technologies. When you connect online to a game server, these technologies will activate and monitor your game play, the files on your computer associated with the EA PC Product or that otherwise access our servers, and your computer's memory, purely for the purposes of detecting and preventing cheating.
If any of these anti-cheat technologies detects cheating, we may collect relevant information necessary for our investigation and enforcement purposes, including your account name, details about an Unauthorized Third Party Program and the EA PC Product files modification detected, and the time and date it was detected. We also may terminate your License and your EA Account if we determine you have been cheating.
When you disconnect from the game server, these anti-cheat technologies will be deactivated.“
