Q u o t e: We shall have to agree to disagree on this point then since from my reading of the MSDN libraries there is nothing in DIKeys regarding a repeat event (or that such an event exists). A key that is held down merely send a keyup/down signal each cycle according to the windows keyboard drivers.
That's the funny thing about these forums. Everyone with white text seems to think they're the experts. Which is why Im waiting for a blue to explicitly say something. And the funny part is people here do not realize things change sometimes too. Folks have been banned for playing the game under Linux because the punkbuster software WoW uses/used would see the WinE environment as suspicious because only WoW.exe would appear on the processes list because everything else would be under Linux and unaccessible to WoW.
Please don't spread the inference that Wine and Cedega users were NOT refunded their game time and allowed to keep playing when they were mistakenly identified as bad by Warden. It does nothing for this discussion.
edit: Statements such as that get me riled up. Wine/Cedega are unsupported - the one time Blizz really do something to support them, Blizz get bashed for eternity over it. /sigh

What a lot of people know but you may not be informed of, there was a time when Linux users were mistakenly actioned and that was when they were using a system that registered as a false positive with us. We worked with the makers of that program to determine where the error was and those false positives were resolved in very short order.
Q u o t e:
I'll just continue to wait for a blue response.
This has been addressed already, by your fellow players, everyone else seems to have gotten the point. I understand that you specifically want a blue response but honestly if a question has been addressed sufficiently we generally won't post again just to say they are correct especially when the first answers given pretty much answer the question.
Q u o t e: Would that be considered automation? Nothing really addresses that particular function because while it does repeat, it requires the player to be actively holding the key down.
Taken from reply 8 by Malkorix.
Q u o t e: This is not okay. One hardware function = one action, according to standard macro rules. A hardware function is a keypress (including press/release) associated with movement and an ability/item. Obviously, our default macro rules enable you to use 'modifying' trinkets or abilities, such as nature's swiftness, plus a single spell all in a single press.
The G15 may have the ability to continually activate an ability as long as you keep the key pressed but that is not a function that is permitted by our policies.
Q u o t e:
That's why I want someone with the pretty blue text to answer. It's a grey area. I can make the G15 fully automate me for just about anything but yet it* is allowed. But Im not asking about that. Im asking about a simple little switch that is very user friendly but can be abused, yes.
* By "it" I mean the keyboard
"It" meaning the keyboard is allowed but certain functions it can do are not.
Thanks for that Kant. :)
This seems to just be going back and forth so I'll be locking it. Thank you all for your participation in a very good and mostly civil discussion.
