No they are not.

Q: My mouse/keyboard came with macro software that lets me emulate a series of clicks or helps me with some process. Is this allowed?

A: Yes, using macros as provided by 3rd party hardware vendors is allowed. Though the use of any modifications to assist with aiming, aimbots, wall hacks, or any attempt to give information or tactical assistance that other players would not have by default, is a serious violation of our Terms of Use and any account found to be using such software will likely be suspended or banned.

Macro programs allow players to take full advantage of AC recycle times, letting a macro using player to spit a stream of projectiles effortlessly. For those who don't use macros, it is possible to achieve nearly the same rate of fire (can't beat a computer program's reflexes), but they can't put out a fast firing rate while maneuvering their mech. Many say "Macros don't give you a higher DPS, though". While this is true, those same people forget about the cockpit shake caused by being hit with AC fire. While being pelted by a macro ac/2 jager, aiming becomes exceptionally difficult. Macro programs are also used to cheat the Ultra AC/5 jam system, rapidly switching weapon groups to automatically unjam them.

Macros should be banned in order to give all players a level playing field.


Just like better computers should be banned to give people who can't afford them a chance.

Maybe ban good audio hardware and headsets / speaker setups to give people without positional audio a chance, too.

Or ban people with good internet speeds to give those without it a chance. Same with anyone who's cheating by living closer to the servers than you do.

Or, in short:
Those of us who have BRAINS should be banned to give YOU a chance.

Quoted for justice. I wish there was a valid&accurate way of determining someone's IQ and then use that to determine whether they are allowed to make opinions in life.

If a macro was cheating then so is any other advantage anyone can obtain freely and easily. Maybe this isn't your game then, OP.
