Is this within the ToS?

A new program in the multiboxing community came about that utilizes your mouse clicks specifically for targetable AoE spells.
There was a thread on it mentioned before, but many in the community are concerned with a specific aspect of it that we would like answered.

Is using Pre-Recorded X,Y coordinates to cast spells within the ToS?

Q u o t e:
I'm looking past the 1 click = 1 action deal, that in and of itself is already a problem because it does 2 things at once.

Is using Pre-Recorded X,Y coordinates to cast spells within the ToS?


Why are you looking past it - that is a point that is integral to any discussion of automation.

Currently, using pre-recorded x,y coordinates (a function not supported by the default UI at all), to target or cast a spell is functionality outside of our Terms of Use.

I would strongly advise shying away from this program, if it is causing mouse moves (even simulated mouse moves) to occur in response to user inputs.

Mouse moves are the purview of the user, not a program.

Q u o t e:
Actually it's the other way around.

In the "approved" thread, the OP was very vague and open ended. And the blue response was equally vague and open ended (for good reason as we have now seen)

This thread is VERY specific, in which we got a VERY specific answer.


Correct. For ease of locating, that response is, once again, here:

I'm going to lock this one up now, since the appropriate response has been provided and we're moving into digression.
