Just want to clarify....is it ok to use a mouse and/or keyboard that can perform macros? The rules indicate that it isn't allowed while afk (obviously), but it is ok to say use them if you are at the computer and actively there?

.....or just change the "rules" to be clear and just give a straight answer rather than a smart ass condescending one?

Any gadget or software which automates clicking or pressing keys which could give advantages over other players is not allowed.

If its used to click one key only, its allowed. But if its used to issue more than one action aka macroing, its forbidden.

You could be banned for sticking a penny in your keyboard on live to hold down a key. That same rule applies here.

i just wanted to say that tons of people use macroing tools (pala,warden,bla, craft)^^

EVEN IF they caught you in the act, they give you a warning, and maximum what happens is a 1-3 day ban (no one saw it here)

Use of 3rd party tools lead to perm ban in all cases. Let that be a warning.
