I have a programmable keyboard that I could use for farming. Is it considered botting even thought it is limited and not a 3rd party software?
Programmable keyboard
What exactly You want to do with it ?
Program it to repeat a certain sequence so my character will find next target, spoil and sweep.
well. according to the rules:
You will not attempt to hack or using external programs such as "bots" to get advantage while playing L2Vanir. You may not assist, relay or store items for other players who are using these processes.
It is not an extrrnal program. It is part of my keyboard driver software. Anyway, it is hard to farm with it so it's more of a hastle.
It is not boting. It is macroing. Boting is using another program and you can take a nap or watch tv while you farm. If you are at your keyboard and have the ability to program extra keys on keyboards or your mouse it should not be a problem.
i just read the rules, i'm not against your point here XD
well, imo its not violating the rules since its just macroing, but, i think You may get into trouble with bot protection which, as far as i know it works, looks for a constant sequences in player actions.
I know peoples (some time ago) were using programmed nostromos and keyboards and there were no problem with it. The best would be if Ignis, Sekai or Sterling would say something 'bout that, i'm also curious.
