Is this cheating: using macros in this way... - nOmnomnOm - 10-27-2017
Is it cheating to use macros in base administration purposes?
Examples:
-Logging in
-Changing prices
-setting up things to build
-moving weapon platforms
-etc

Aren't macros against the rules in general? Like it doesn't matter what you use them for, they're still against the rules.

I wouldn't view that as cheating. That's kinda what macros are for: easy management. In combat is another situation, but just for managing you PoB? Should be fine.

Agreed. It's not a PvP advantage in this scenario, it's just regular maintenance.

*Disclaimer: This is the way that I've been told the rules regarding macros work.
As long as it doesn't give you an unfair advantage such as a /Stuck macro or something that works like an automaneuver key or anything like that you should be fine.

How about during a siege?

If the Macro gives you any kind of advantage over other non-macro users, then it's considered abuse

^ That's the general opinion

As a former Admin, ANY Macro's were not allowed during my time, and not sure if that stance has changed. The anti-cheat cannot distinguish between using a macro for a base or for PVP, as it just flags a macro being used iirc. Best to avoid using one (unless a green sheds some new light).

That'd provide a advantage, So yes, that would be in violation of the rules.
