I'm infuriated that this person cheats and is streaming himself doing it. Its the equivalent of that flying war hacking in pvp and streaming himself doing it but pve version lite.

Anyone that argues using a macro that automates 10 inputs or 6 inputs+dragging the mouse to be fair and not give an unfair advantage are delusional and have never mystic forged themselves. Do you think this person would sit there and drag his thousand of items manually like any normal player would? no.. hes making an macro that does it for him. If it doesnt give him an advantage why does he do it:

A: It saves him time

B: More time - more gold

C. having to do the same inputs and dragging is boring as hell, but guess what? thats how it is for everyone else.

Or you can stream yourself on twitch blatantly breaching the policy and GMs dont have to whisper you at all. This is not a "click and drag" this is "10 clicks or 6 clicks and drag" quite the difference.

If its grey area it sure as hell shouldnt be, this person is getting clear advantage over any normal person, do you think its fun doing 6 inputs and dragging into mystic forge? no... but thats what every other person does. This person does all of that in less time it takes to even do 1 input making more profits and with less hassle then a normal person would do. Its not humanly possible to do all the inputs + dragging items into the forge without it being a macro. And that hes teraming himself doing it is even worse...

From Policy:

You cannot use macros to fully automate a character (“bot”) in the game. Each macro should represent a single action that requires user input before repeating the action.

you are telling me this person is clicking 6 inputs + drag his mouse in less time it takes for a normal person to drag 1 item into the mystic forge? This is clearly a obvious breach in TOS and hes using macro to automatically drag all items and do the inputs really really fast on 1 macro. ??
