last time Ichecked macros are ok, but AFK macroing is game-banning worthy. I am not sure though...maybe someone else can refute/back me up on this one

it has been several times...

afk macros are legal, however

afk macros for combat, are not. Just like with loot gathers. Report 'em and wait. Happened last week. Sent a guy a few tells, then an email, he was obviously afk grinding. Wrote the ticket, stayed and watched. An hour later got logged out, the other day got an email back with a bunch o' flame sayin how I got him 72hr suspended..

/shrug

Moral of this story is, don't ask for afk macros.

? so your proof was that he didnt answer your tell or mail? Can i be banned for not answering? what about my ignore list?

From what i know/have read. Afk all you like, just dont use 3rd part thingys to do it, that leads to the ban.

Wrong...loot camping is an offense that could garner disciplinary action by the devs, not likely though. A slap on the hand is more like it.

ok, I thought there was something true to that. At least I know I'm not crazy and something about AFK macroing isn't legal. Thanks for the clarification

This is the big no-no,NEVER get a third thingy involved...or even a second one for that matter.

I'm telling you guys, both that guy and guildmates of mine have been suspended for both afk looting, and just grinding. (guildmate about two weeks ago) and the standard seems to be 3 days suspension.

What kind of macros are people using to afk grind in the ryat trail or by the feral wookies on kashyyk?? I thought that that kind of looping macros had been put into the trashcan...






And so it was pronounced on this day Jedi took a sad sad turn.
