@dabbitydabdabmacros are recorded key buttons. In WoW with my g15 keyboard i used to have. It has macro capability. I literally could record all my button commands. With one push of a button my character could cast all spells move 5 steps left and 5 steps right or any configuration I wanted with just one button instead of pushing 50 buttons. This is hacking and against ToS.
Ever seen a modded controller? It uses macros. Ever had someone in call of duty spin around lay down and kill you as you shot them in the back? This can be done with a macro or modded controller and most modded controllers have that macro. Yeah you can be banned for using a modded controller.Yeah you can do it yourself but a macro for it is faster. Because you can edit the timings to have super human reaction times.
Do you understand now?
You dont have to use macros to get banned for it. If anticheat detects that you have that capability on any device you have on your pc. You can be banned for just having the device plugged in. As my temp ban on guild wars 2 was explained to me.
There are youtube videos and reddit posts about macros being used in many battlefield titles and they do give you an advantage in many cases over other players. So to say macros arent used or dont even give an advantage in battlefield is rubbish. Its not hard to type battlefield macros in google and see for yourself. Just saying.
