Policy?

Q u o t e:
Could anyone link me to where I can find Blizzards policy on using other software while WoW is running? :) No I'm not attempting to use some type of bot software, I'm just curious about something, and can't seem to find the info anywhere.

In all likelihood, you'd be interested in our Terms of Use and End User's License Agreement.

You can find those here:

Yes, I know how macros work ;) The point is, I'd like to be able to run this macro every 7-10 min without me having to be sitting at my computer every single moment. I'd like to be able to get up and use the restroom, get something to drink, answer my phone, etc.

Ah, I see.

What you describe certainly sounds like automation. Automation can represent a serious violation of our policies, so it would probably be best to avoid this course of action utterly.

You can further discuss UI issues on our UI & Macros forum.

Q u o t e:


actually, I have a very good use for it, why else would I have made this thread? I'm not going to do it, saddly, because I'd rather not get banned. But it'd be really nice if I could. Save me days of sitting at my computer doing nothing. :(

What is it that you hoped to accomplish? Perhaps we can help devise an alternative method of accomplishing your goal, which doesn't carry any unnecessary risks?

Q u o t e:


As it stands now I kill him as soon as he spawns anyway. So you're saying with me being at my keyboard, doing the actions myself, I'll be reported and actioned? So how do I exactly gain the rep then?

It's not that simple - but being at keys is, uh, key. Attaining exalted reputation with the Bloodsail Buccaneers is a very substantial challenge, and while I understand why you may be tempted to try to automate it, using the in-game macro that you're already availing yourself of is the only appropriate course.

Q u o t e:
There are plenty of other ways to gain rep, actually.

Not this one. Truly an epic challenge and accomplishment.

I wish you luck, Raeva!
