All of you guys whining about the G15 ban need to reconsider.

Yes, they should instead give you a warning and or tell you “No”…

rather than actioning you.

For those saying /cry… blizz let it go on for 4 years.

This is Burning Crusade… Which along with that expansion came Arenas and hard core pvp.. Newly Tournament Realms.

If these G15’s are giving you rank advantage over a regular keyboard.. your in the wrong. Especially with these rewards ppl are recieving for being the best. IRL rewards.

With reference to button spamming, it depends on what you feel about this thread:

I’m so glad Blizzard is looking through my computer without me knowing about it. I love the government also. <33333

So, if I bought the n52te for the sole purpose of being able to hit one button and have it repeatedly spam my shot macro, then should I just return it?

Felandra i think you are oversimplifying things. They did not ban everyone who used macros, but only certain types of macros. The only two specified are ones that had timing code in them, or ones that spammed keys so you didn’t have to. Their patch notes never said either of those types of macros are ok. You’d have to point specifically to where they said “these types of macros are ok” to really prove your point

I always thought the opposite: that Blizzard has been quite plain that those types of macros were not allowed and so I avoided them for that very reason. And quite frankly I’m mystified why anyone would think they’d be allowed by Blizzard to use such a macro.

“If you used an outside program, though, like the G15’s built-in macro editor, then you are going to get into trouble.”

Exactly. And that is the problem as I see it. For four years Blizz has let the G15esque macro go on. They have even included G15 patchnotes. Then one day those same macros are wrong. Nothing wrong with suddenly deciding that that style of macros is against the TOS, I don’t mind it for several reasons. One being that I don’t have any. Two being that we should be able to get along without it.

But it is wrong to suddenly hit with a hammer like that. For crying out loud let the honest users get a chance to get rid of them. State that from now on those macros are wrong and people should refrain from using them, if they persist they could potentially end up banned as a result of bot-hunting… yada yada yada… we are terribly sorry that it has come to this… This is forthe better… you should be able to work witohut it.

I’m sure you see my point.

Changing the rules, not informing people AND banning as a result of this, is a very good way to drive people away.
