I got banned for AHK just before they released the news post about it. I imagine something like this has triggered their system as well.
this literally happened to me yesterday. I got back on after about a year of not playing, and then the next morning I was banned for botting. I have tried contacting them through twitter, a few Jmods on Reddit, and the appeal process. So far no one has replied to me
where did they release info about this? was going to use some AHK-like programs but would rather be safe than sorry.
Basically, I got banned for macroing, I questioned it as I was not botting. However, I did use AHK. Then two days later they released this news post Mouse Keys - Changes & Clarification And it was GG me. I contacted mods on twitter and got responses, to no avail. You may have better luck, but I tried a fair bit.
I'm not saying it wasn't.. I imagine the change was universal. However, my point was more that you 'can' be banned for a macroing major without using a botting client.
