Re: banned?

@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.

I may be wrong because I use Synapse for a keypad only and not a mouse but as far as I'm aware the only macros I could create with Syanpse (if I wanted to) are keystrokes based which wouldn't give you an advantage at all in a game like BF because there is no scenario where automating keystrokes would be an advantage. 

I checked my Roccat mouse software last night out of curiosity and I couldn't even find a way to create any kind of macros in there so in my limited knowledge about real game enhancing macros tells me you'd have to go out of your way and specifically install certain types of software in order to create recoil macros or whatever because normal generic mouse driver software does not usually allow stuff like that to be created. 

I think some certain mice software will allow you to create macros based on mouse movement like assigning a button to do a 180° pivot in game because I've seen people who study mouse sensitivity Vs FOV use them for calculating the perfect mouse sensitivity in game. But I don't think all the mainstream mouse drivers easily allow such things because if they did then everyone would be using them, there would be uproar and FPS gaming would be instantly ruined. You are forced to download proprietary software nowadays with a mouse driver so it's highly unlikely that these companies would include the ability to create recoil and rapid fire macros within that software because they'd be knowingly forcing software on you that could get you banned in many games and that's just not good for business because once that happened people would avoid your hardware and it's related software for fear of being banned.
