About Detectability #8

Hello,

This isn't a bug report; but just a question. 

Would you be able to tell me how easily detected your script might be by 
Blizzard?  

What I mean is, I know one of the tipoffs that a player is using a bot program 
is, for example, clicks that are identically spaced 0.07 seconds apart nonstop. 
 Would there be anything distinctly non-player-like about your script that 
would tip Blizzard off?

I would love to use your WASD script as I have RSI problems, but am afraid of 
being banned.

Warden could easily tell AutoHotkey was running, but not what the script does.

If watched closely, the action used to mimmick WASD with the current control 
scheme in the game would definately be noticeable as not from a person.

This is because the script quickly moves the mouse to a very precise pixel 
location based on what inputs on the keyboard you are giving, sends a mouse 
click, and then moves it back to where it was before the keyboard input. This 
all happen in the span of less then 10-20 milliseconds. 

If a GM were to actively watch you (and had a way to see your mouse cursor 
pixel info) he could notice you weren't moving the mouse that quickly and 
accurately, but possibly using some other method.

As far as software detecting it, I am sure it is possible.

This was never written to be undetectable as it does not go directly against 
the rules laid out in the ToS. It doesn't data-mine info from the game, 
manipulate game files or memory, or automate game play (botting). 

If you are concerned about using it that is understandable and I would advise 
not to. I make no claim of a guarantee that you can not be banned for this. In 
fact, Blizzard can ban you for any reason whatsoever or no reason at all 
without even giving you an explanation. The ToS they use for the game gives 
them that explicit right.

Thank you for your response.  

I understand.. maybe Blizzard will change their stance later on on allowing 
WASD and there can be hope. =)

has there been any case of someone getting banned for using scripts?

Not a single user has sent me any email or notification that they have been 
banned yet. If that ever changes I will immediately post on the main page about 
it.
