ch4ncer Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Macros, xNeat Are they still in the grey area ? Is there an official written rule about them ? Would players get in some sort of trouble, or even potentially lose their accounts if they use them ? I'd like to see some clarification. Thanks. Edited October 12, 2019 by ch4ncer
MissaHolloway Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) i'va always known macro was started consired as illegal (cheating) since 2011 i think it is still a bannable reason to the player, and im pretty sure it still is about xNeat i cant tell i've never used it o.o Edited October 12, 2019 by MissaHolloway
vsb Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 when has xneat ever been an issue? it doesnt affect apb gameplay, in fact it doesnt interact with apb at all - also afaik xneat doesnt work with win10, and i believe im correct in saying a majority of players use win10 macros have always been bannable iirc, but there's a difference something being bannable and actually being able to detect it

I don't use Win 10. At one point, probably 2 years or so, I can clearly recall xNeat being a legitimate banable offence, I believe it had something to do with messing up the game's layers and something with the transparency, I really can't pinpoint it. As for the macros, by that, should I understand that I could infact get banned, but only If it gets detected ? Edited October 12, 2019 by ch4ncer

CookiePuss Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Technically both are illegal. So use at your own risk. (lol so is discord btw ) Also, does xNeat even work? I thought it never got Win10 support?
GhosT Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Both are disallowed, but the game has no check against them whatsoever, so use at your own risk.
ch4ncer Posted October 12, 2019 Author Posted October 12, 2019 So a yes for xneat and no for macro, basically.

wilkesor Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 kind of a use at your own risk and hope you don’t get caught
Frosi Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 From the ToS itself. (Ctrl + F and Search for Macro)

Fortune Runner Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 rule of thumb is if you have to use a 3rd party program to have an unfair advantage to win then you're pretty much cheating. also means that with how you had to ask about a 3rd party program , if you get banned people are going to laugh at you ..... a lot
AxeTurboAgresor Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Its not allowed, but its not ban worthy. The game should kick you whenever macro is detected, which will not happen bcs anticheat wont detect this kind of cheating yet.
ch4ncer Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 Okay understood, thanks for the positive feedback guys.
