Hi!

Few days ago found russian programs for dps automation . Appears to work perfectly. Did anybody try it? Could it be secure? Or ban is inevitable? They seem to use it widely but there’s no much reaction in the web.

Don't link to it. I'm in a good mood, so I'll assume for the moment you're not a spammer. -Xsarus

If it does the "work" you are suppose to do, like using spells in a certain order without your input each time, then yes it is illegal.

Assuming it's full automation and not just a macro, yes. Ban is inevitable.

I think a general rule of thumb was that if it was a stand alone .exe file, it will probably get you banned. Example -- botting programs. If it runs in game, using .lua, then it is probably alright. Example -- things that give audio or visual prompts for your rotation.

Remember that the problem with such generalizations is that you can encounter exceptions and in this kind of situation that could mean getting banned.

I notice you went out of your way to deny the spammer accusation, but not the evil one. So don't mind me if I continue to view you skeptically from behind my pointy stick.

So why are we wanting to automate our DPS now?

Depending on your class some excellent and legal "DPS assistants" are CLCinfo (ret paladin mainly), Destruction for Dummies (most classes) and SkeenCore3 (most classes, have to download desired modules). Even if the original OP is a spammer, these may be of use to someone else! I've used CLCinfo since Wrath and love it.

Because sometimes three buttons is just TOO MANY!

That's quite alright. As Mage-Jesus once taught us with a parable:
Quote:
There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for over 40 years, he happily retired.

Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion dollar machines.

They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past.

The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "This is where your problem is." The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again.

The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service.

They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly:

"One chalk mark $1. Knowing where to put it $49,999".
That which separates the good from the bad lies not in having three buttons to press, but in knowing when to push which button. A fifty button rotation could in fact be much simpler than a three button one if the larger one requires simple memorization of a button order while the shorter one involves judgment calls and reaction to changing situations.

Good one, Pold. Smiley: smile I was just teasing.

Actually now that you mention it, every class I've tried since I came back seems to have a priority rather than a rotation. Which makes wanting to automate your DPS that much sillier.

Although I'll admit I occasionally miss the toolbar declutter that was Rift macros. One button that said "1T," one that said "MT," and you were pretty much good to go.
