Alright so I was wondering if I'm allowed to use an Auto Clicker for just the use of Companion gifts? I have Hundreds and it gets very annoying to keep clicking. I will still be at my computer while ...

    @jdog1856  @Raidell Hi,

    To clarify, using a macro tool is against our TOS. While we may have decided not to enforce the use of this tool in this very specific use-case you describe, I would strongly suggest not to start using such a tool. In case of a wrongful detection, you may have a hard time proofing that you were only using it in good faith for this particular use case.

    As part of our efforts to avoid cheating and ensure a fair and secure market for everyone, we will continue to monitor use of tools and it is in our best interest to take a strong stance against any automation that might be exploited by third-party credit sellers.

    Instead I would encourage you to provide feedback to the game team on how you would personally like to improve companion gift granting for a better experience to you as a player. The studio can then consider this for future implementation.

    Thank you all for your understanding.

    Cheers,

    Nils

Sadly, this kind of macro usage is against the Terms of Use. However, the devs don't have a way to check if you macro, so many players are doing it anyway. So don't let that hold you back.

Also, keep in mind that there is a legacy unlock that decreases the cooldown down to 1 GCD, then it will get much faster to give gifts.

    Exactly. Just because some players do use macros doesn't excuse it, it is still against ToS and you risk your account being banned.

    Like I mentioned, make sure to use the legacy unlock, that will cut the time in half, and make sure to use the highest gifts (from the Basic Comms vendor on Odessen) to level up the fastest. 🙂
