Macros are cheating, you are not doing those feints and its an unfair advantage. Why dont admins deliver out bans?

Macros have been out since the age of cRPG, pretty scrub, but you can get punished for it as well when fighting. Dunno.

Force ppl to play fair and watch the "heroes" fail. So many of them are going to have a hard time playing with normal feints.

Native turnaments forbids macros, cuz unfair. Crpg should punish those that use it aswell

I think adapting to the timing of your opponent is better than whatever a pre-programmed input could ever do. Then again, I don't *think* I ever fought someone who abused this, so I can't say whether there are any weird feints that are impossible to see. Doubt it, though.

As long as some mechanic isn't telling the admins that that special someone is using macros noone will ban them. No matter how obvious it is, they still could actually wiggle their mouse around like crazy.
And if you are reading this and you are one of them: Burn in hell.

I can't really see even normal swings that well on EU3, so I'm not sure how that would help if I tried :D. Feints are easy enough to master by mixing up timings yourself imo. I have a really tiny mouse, so it's easy to move, though.

It is literally the easiest class in the game (just spent a few gens as a two-hander, best k:d i have ever had in my 27 gens of playing, and there were only a few situations where I had to use something barely even approaching skill).

Not sure how the auto-block detection thingy works. But I guess it just detects 3rd party programs that are meddling with the warband.exe. While feint macros only effect your mouse input, making it "invisible" to the scan we have now.

Overall, I think all 3rd party programs enhancing your performance, autoblocker or feint macros, are cheating and using them should be bannable.

If you build a 30/3 char you will notice your feint's will have a reduced speed. Macros remove that penalty, unbalanced weapons would get fast aswell. macro cheating + high str is 100% win...
