I was actually challanged in chat ( like that is strange huh?) that the use of a macro is not allowed by the TOS....Like that is impossible

Further this paerson, whos for my protection and theirs..will remain nameless( Lol ) went on to tell me by using my gamepad I was exploiting the game.

OK for the record, I use a nosromo gamepad, and there is NOTHING in the rules of the game that says I cannot. Why do some think it is an exploit?:eek:

    I am pretty sure useing a gamepad or G15 keyboard type that uses macros is not against the TOS.

    One of the reason i think this is ok is because the Devs have said that it is ok to us the "auto-fire" bug.

    We're currently not planning on fixing the multi auto-fire "bug" until we have a real solution. Don't worry, no banning.

    Reasonable people don't think its an exploit. Unreasonable people do. Is there a reason why you should listen to unreasonable people? No.

    You're fine. Devs have said so.

    I wouldn't be surprised if I actually read through the TOS and found something allowing Cryptic to (if they wanted) say that joysticks and macros were against the TOS for STO.

    That said I mirror what others have said, reasonable people won't care too much, un-reasonable people will.

    I originally programmed my Logitech Cordless Wingman Rumble Pad it was great fun...

    Then I dug out the old Saitek EVO Wireless, and now it is incredible fun...

    Cheers
