Legal Macroing

[PolkaDot]

I hear this all the time, no autoclickers macroing etc are legal, however, this might be an exception

A lot of times I like to start to harvest something that takes a while, like titanium for example, then come back from afk a while later. However, EL detects no mouse movement and stops the harvesting, which is great in some ways, but makes me mad. Would it be legal to make a macro which simply moves the mouse in circles, not clicking or taking any action in EL whatsoever, just preventing it from thinking I am AFK? I discuessed this yesterday with Lord_Vermor, he OKed it, but I would just like to totally clarify it and declare my intended actions.

EL can autostop harvesting whether you have mouse motion or not. Moving the mouse will not prevent harvesting from stopping, that is just a random server event. What you want to do won't do what you expect.

The harvesting events are random, no matter what you actually do. Using an auto-clicker for that will not work at all.

Oh OK, cause LV had said that it did that because it didn't detect mouse movement, maybe I didn't understand him, thanks anyway

remembering the time you had to click for every item to harvest and there was no "you started harvsting..."

Good old days eh?

That was not fun, Then when auto-harvest was allowed for the CVS clients and half the people could auto-harvest and half could not. That was fun

I liked it when people accidentally clicked on the bears when they were autoharvesting because the bear walked in the path of their cursor. Now that was fun.

Ugh, you didn't have to be auto harvesting to click on bears!

Lol of course not. That wasn't fun. I've been eaten by many a bear on the path from Lakeside to Grahm's. But watching the autoharvesters do that while afk in the veggie patch...that was fun.
