Make macros bannable.

[Shang]

I fully agree with what you wrote, but one thing which's still controversial, in my opinion, is about training rooms. We all know you don't gain EXP in this mode so, why not allow it. However, the main problem is that there are players who take advantage of it to hunt other players, and it's either annoying or disturbing. In case a player is caught and reported for abusing Macro in training rooms on a player who didn't allow him to use it on him, a punishment should be given as well as in the other game modes.

Thats like saying we can use godmode and lawnmower hacks in training rooms cause they arent getting exp anyway.

Let me fix that for you.


Training: Ban for 3 months.
Quest/CQ: Ban for 3 months.
TDM: Ban for 3 months.
Duel: Ban for 3 months.
Turbo: Ban for 3 months.
Clan Wars/Gladiator Clan Wars: Ban for 3 months.
Tournament: Banned for life.

The only valid argument for macros to not be bannable would have to come from the Devs/staff saying that macro is too difficult for them to detect and thus we can not pass judgement that we are not certain about. That's quite literally the only reason I could see why macros wouldnt be bannable.

Agreed

There is a HUGE difference between using a Godemode and Macro. You and some others consider Macro as a hack, but there are people like me who don't. Stop comparing Macro to different hacks because this discussion will never end nor will have any solution. The main point of this thread is if Macro users should be banned as well as shotbot and hitbox users.
To make it clear, using hacks in training room isn't allowed and we all know that - It's not allowed at all. Using Macro in training rooms is also punishable as long as you didn't allow the certain player to use it. You're ignoring the main details, and the request of "banning macro users" will never be accepted. Once again, the staff team definitely prefers players more than worthless rules and regulations that have zero significance and that is legitimate.

What a difference of opinions on this.

First of all, no, macro can't be considered as a hack. Hack is way too different to this, it's stupid call it as a hack. Now, depending on the game it can be considering as cheating, and here's where Gunz enter. Yeah, this is mostly cheating, but actually i don't think these should be considered as hard as a REAL hack. In pvp i understand it should be bannable (and more if we talk about tournaments and cws), but i don't get exactly why in the non-pvp modes it should be too.

Macros in Training Rooms: No gives exp for kill, neither gives a reward for anything. And if the reason is ego, when the player go to play pvp he can get banned and he'll stand as the ridiculous guy who ego using macro. And even if he doesn't use macro in pvp but else ego in training rooms, ppl will 1v1 him and he will also end as the guy who used macro for ego in training rooms. So no, in anything it won't be annoying (if they spam it into someone it can be reported, so this can't be a problem for macro in training rooms).

Macros in Quest/CQ: I'll explain it easy, It's useless af. I've seen many times how ppl use macro in quest and most of the time dies, so macro in quest doesn't give an adventage or anything else.

In the rest of modes i'm agreed on it should be bannable.

It should depends tbh. For example:

Training: No punishment.
Quest/CQ: No punishment.
TDM: Permanent warning.
Duel: Permanent warning.
Turbo: Permanent warning.
Clan Wars/Gladiator Clan Wars: Ban for 1 month.
Tournament: Ban for 3 months.

If permanent warning isn't enough, then maybe ban for 1 week.

Why would you allow macro's in Quest/CQ?

[Awful]

Why would you allow macro's in Quest/CQ?

Because he does it himself. That's why he's on the edge. all the challengequest merits are about to go out the window now

I know that macro's would benefit himself since he is a quester, just want to hear a good logical reason why he thinks it should be okay to macro in quest.

[King]

Agree

[Stallion]

People who got caught using macro usually ending up getting a warning. Let along they continually using macro cause not everyone can spot it. I do agree that the staff should not be tolerated to those actions cause you are right, it is sort of hacking.
I think they should be more strict with the punishment, perhaps 2 weeks ban+ depends on the situation.

[Divine]

Hi,

I totally agree that macroing in public rooms (any game mode which gives you EXP) should be bannable, so going forward the punishments will be as it shows below.

1st time caught - Warning
2nd time caught - 3 day ban
3rd time caught - 7 day ban
4th time caught - 2 weeks ban
5th time caught - 1 to 3 month ban

Note: These bans will be IP-bans which also bans the HWID of the account so they will not be able to login with another account during their ban.

For now we will still allow players to macro in training rooms without annoying any other player.

We will review this again in a few months.

[Zeino]

Why not let people enjoy macroing in training rooms as long as they're not annoying anyone? If they still annoy you even in training room, you can report them and they get punishment. No need to be so strict for no reason. Macros are already not allowed on any mode except training rooms, smh.
