If it is "quite well possible" that he missed a /tell, how on earth can anyone claim he wasn't botting? If it required botton pushing, it required attendance at the screen. He was not in attendance at the screen if it was possilbe he missed /tells.
If i am mindlessly grinding on stuff alot of times my routine is:
Hunters mark
Send pet
Fire Sting
Fire Aimed Shot
Let autoshot do the rest
All this guy did was make a macro that did the equivalent of:
Send pet, Fire Sting, Fire Aimedshot
All on one button click.
He then would target something and hit that button. While he was doing this he was watching a movie and not staring at the chat log.
This is a grey area, i don't think it is conclusive that this is considered botting or not. I think for that reason alone, the fact that it is a grey area, is reason enough for a ban NOT to have occurred and to have been first issued a warning.
This is how it went: Bliz: "You did THIS and THIS is wrong!"
Player: "OK this is what I was actually doing and I thought it was ok, is it? If not I'm sorry."
Bliz: "No, and now you are banned for it"
This is how it should have went: Bliz: "You did THIS and THIS is wrong!"
Player: "OK this is what I was actually doing and I thought it was ok, is it? If not I'm sorry."
Bliz: "No, but since the policy on hardware devices is not clear we will only give you a 3 day suspension. Please do not continue using the keyboard macro's in this fashion."
Player: "OK, sorry about this, I thought it was ok"
