Would you report an idle macro user?

[Lusus Symphonia]

I've seen tons of them and with the current situation I just find it extremely rude, especially when they do it blatantly in a public area.

Ah i forgot to put this here,
Just go to your inn and go afk, use macro, program whatever no one can remove you.

SJWs can't barge in to report you either!

That's fine, out of sight, out of mind.

Just keep your American rubbish to yourself, calling people SJWs isn't funny nor is it accurate, it just makes you look silly.

So, you know a friend committed a crime, do you report it to the proper authorities or not?

Depends on the crime.
Did they steal a candy bar? Nah, not gonna report them for that.
Did they run a stop sign? Nah, not gonna report them for that.
Did they break into an abandoned building to camp out on Halloween night cuz it's cliche horror to do something silly like that? Nah, not gonna report them for that. I'll even join them, sounds fun.

Did they murder someone? Yea, probably gonna let the police know about that one.

There are many degrees of crime. Working around the auto-logout is "candy bar theft" level of "crime".

I wouldnt report the friend the first time they did it, but if it became a norm to steal candy bars. then yes I'd alert the shop and/or the police.
same with stop signs. same with breaking and entering, abandoned or not.

Your keyboard and mouse need software to do it, thus third party. Good troll though.

Loathe as I am to agree with Komarumaru, they are correct. I use G910 keyboard and make regular use of the G keys for macros to easily navigate tabs in Firefox. Without Logitech's software for this, the keys do nothing.

Most of games have programs that launching with the game and protect from using illegal 3rd party software. Without the soft my logitech g13 keypad is useless bcs you have to "program" the keys first, they do NOTHING without it, you can klick and nothing will happen. So even this should be bannable lol. I never heard any of this protectors flagged keyboard/mouse soft as an illegal 3rd party program and i used it for many mmo's, like Wow, Lineage 2, Black Desert, etc. You can make more specialized macros too doing more things instead of just 1 click. BUT, its all of you how do you use it. "absente" play means you can't make auto things like mining, crafting, killing mobs, etc. that gives you profit from afk auto playing. And i read that a lot of ppl using macros here like that for housing etc. I just play an emote, i just don't even need to set up anythign for the bar, it can just click empty bar space, but still it will be "click" for the game preventing from afk status. It's not illegal imo. Only if you think that being online gives me some kind of "advantage" to other players lol.... I can make same thing what my g13 doin if i put the hammer on my keyboard that mechanically click the button. ;) Is this illegal too? :)

People be really SJW when it comes to reporting people for being afk. Part of the immersion comes from the fact that you are doing whatever you want, that may even be just sitting on a chair and talking to someone else on discord while letting the afk screen create ambient background for conversation, or just reading a book while sitting on a hill in coerthas, or maybe watching youtube while waiting for that one friend to get in the game since he is in the queue. There are any number of valid reasons for being afk and you can't realistically figure out which person is doing which, and you try to be the good Samaritan by reporting people where the genre is 'MMO Role-Playing-Game' lmao.

If you guys want to help rid the game of players so much please run your own clans and hunt the bots and sellers and RMTers and websites that sell those items and Gpose users and CMTool users, find them bro, they are voiding TOS and/or ruining fun for everyone else too. Then maybe look at afkers, but until you can do that, keep your report button hidden, lest you make more work for the GMs.

You just dont want to understand it seems. Just to make this clear again: this is NOT against people who are afk and text to someone or just chill in the game.
It's about people who use a program to let themself be AFK for hours while they are working, at school, or doing who knows what.
GMs can see the logs, when you press a button ingame every now and then they can tell it's actually you.
If you press a button for hours in an exact lets say 50 second interval, then it's obvious you are not there.

And? What about it? I paid the subscription for playing, and i can be online 24h, who cares if im at the keyboard or not if my toon not doing anything wrong, just staying there, and thats all? What's the problem? Bcs they don't have enough space on the servers? Not my problem lol. If you bought the ticket to the cinema, and didn't go there, do you rly care that some1 will punish you for buying the ticket dna taking place which was empty during show? Place should be reserved to you, if you go there or not, bcs you bought the ticket. Imagine that you bought the ticket, goin to the cinema, and they telling you, sorry, ur late, there is no place for you, all places are taken, maybe wait 2-3 hours for another show lol. Unacceptable in real world, why should i accept it here???

If you do it on your own, nobody cares. If you use a program it's against the ToS that you AGREED to. How is this hard to understand?
And that whole ticket comparison is beyond laughable. The other players paid a "ticket" just the same way you did, and because you use programs to stay logged in, they have to wait longer to get the seat they paid for.

What a bunch of rats. Next step will be: lets report catgirls in limsa, cuz they are useless? Maybe you should mind your own buiseness?
Ps: this guy who reported his friends wins the first place on pig competition.

Quote me the line that says i can't be 24h online afk and they have the right to kick me from the game after 30min afk??? I don't remember accepting anything like that. This is the real problem here, bcs they kick ppl from the game bcs of afk, this should be illegal imo.

Rly? They sold the game and they knew there will be a BIG problem with handle that amount of subs. And you still blame the ppl that just wanna play the game they paid, not the **** company that made big mistake to lanunch the game without preparation for new players. Unbelievable.... They pay you for defending them?

Again, are you actually just trying to troll? It's about you using TOOLS to do so. If you go to the PC and press a button like every 9 or 10 minutes and leave again, you can stay afk as long as you want. And you DID agree not to use any kind of tools or mods, which does include any kind of auto clicker and/or macros on your mouse or keyboards to stay afk without getting auto kicked.

No, they didnt know that THIS many people would storm the servers. Also, stop trying to change the subject. You as a person make the queues worse if you use any kinds of programs to stay logged in.

[ᶜᵃᵗCATᶜᵃᵗ]

Can you even report them ingame? When I press report on people I can only report RMT (real money trading)

You know who you are, and you deserve to be reported for it. :3

Then do what most adults do, plan around your hobby for the weekend at low queue times. Though 2002 errors have greatly lessened. Not seen one for days now.

The 2002 is mostly solved, now the most probable cause of it is on client side for packet loss.
Ques are too long: and if you hog server space when you're not even there, it is worsened by it
What's the problem with YOU people, you egocentric kids, i don't care what's your age, you all act like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ children throwing tantrums, who think they're more important than the rest and don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about anyone but themselves.

If you cannot play at whatever time is convenient for you, use a remote machine and log in when you calculate you're gonna be home instead of being a ♥♥♥♥
