What she's saying is if Joe isn't actually playing to have fun and would rather do other stuff, other people that enjoy the game should have his spot.  I agree with this.

... which I already said, but with different reasoning.  You're trying to convince me of a point that I made before either of you posted here. :P

Yeah, Sidoh's a girl! Didn't you know?

I don't think theres anything wrong with this. ZG is on farm status and I'm still enjoying it. TBH, when I was using those macros, I wasn't doing anything else, I was just tired. ZG gives out incredible gold just from the trash mobs (which was all spent / will be spent on my .5, ouch). Besides, nobody else wanted my spot (I tried leaving later but couldn't find anyone, warlock or otherwise, to come).

Krazed.  Didn't you know?

Here's a macro I'm currently using while farming. I'm specced Heavy Destruction (Ruin Firemancer). It seems to give me a surplus on shards, but I can just stop mashing it when they get to a lower health level (I'm farming 50~'s, so the DoT's wipe them out easy).

/script if not IsBuffActive("Curse of Agony", "target") then CastSpellByName("Curse of Agony"); end;
/script if not IsBuffActive("Corruption", "target") then CastSpellByName("Corruption"); end;
/script if IsBuffActive("Immolate", "target") then CastSpellByName("Conflagrate"); end;
/script if (UnitHealth("target")<10) then CastSpellByName("Drain Soul"); end;
/script CastSpellByName("Immolate");


Note: You'll need SuperMacro for that one.

Here's a nifty one for lifting debuffs. Sets focus to you, makes your felhunter lift the debuff, and then sets the focus back to your target. I haven't tried it in-combat so I'm not sure how well it can be used (target switching speed wise), but after combat it works great for removing frost bolts, etc. Note, I didn't write this, but it's definately nifty.

/script if (UnitCreatureFamily("pet") == "Felhunter") then TargetUnit("player");CastPetAction(4);TargetLastEnemy();end;

EDIT -
Is it a suspendable/bannable offense to be using these types of macros? I definately do *look* like a bot, but I'm not worried because I'm farming in very low-traffic areas (Azshara, hehe). Macros are clientside, but the toolbars are serverside (including references to the macros). I wouldn't say so because it's my own work put into my own macros, but of course others will have other opinions.

Blizzard has over 9 million customers.  Do you honestly think they'd provide all of them with an API that easily allowed violation of their own TOS?

The AddOn system can be used to easily write a "bot" of sorts that can sit in the middle of Stormwind selling mage water with no human interaction. To answer that, yes. :p

Prove it.

Plus, I said "EASILY."  Addons are much more complicated than macros which are capped at 255 characters...

Too lazy. It'd be easy though, just act on events.

I saw that but I decided to ignore it for sake of argument. :)

Events go into enough detail to specify when someone has opened a trade window, accepted a trade, etc?

Which gives you what, 1024 characters?  Don't bring up points that don't change anything...

I'm too lazy to individually quote.

API functions allow you to see who the trade window is with, and you can open a trade window with somebody when they whisper you.

Also, SuperMacro gives 7000 characters.

I know that, but it'd be a very sloppy way of doing it.  You can make macros to move things into the trade window and wait until they put in an amount of money greater than or equal to some threshold before you accept?

They've changed it since I've used it, then... but it still doesn't change much.  Something like what you're describing would better be made an addon for obvious reasons...
