Types of Macros
There are general use macros, of which up to 18 are allowed to your characters within one account (which is spread across all servers) and 18 character specific macros, for a total of 36 that each character can use.
Player created
- General use - can be used for everything from feeding a pet to going afk or bandaging yourself from the beating that warrior gave you in Alterac Valley.
- Class Specific - can be, for example, a shot rotation macro for hunters or a cleanse macro for a priest.
Automated
An automated macro is a series of programmed keystrokes or mouse movements designed to repeat certain actions without human intervention for prolonged periods of time, such as farming low level mobs for linen cloth in a specific pattern. This type of macro, usually created outside the game client, is typically construed as "cheating" or "botting". Players who engage in this form of behavior usually end up with either a suspension or outright banning from the game.
