I would vote yes. Any trigger that automatically changes anything to do with your character due to a certain string of words is illegal to my knowledge.

I don't think that's illegal unless you're not at your keyboard.

If it was set up to help with PK it might be a bit trickier.

Like I said, the only way it would trigger is if I type: l NPC and the key phrase is in the NPC desc. Nothing automatic about it.

Any client-based program that does something automatically (IE: Determining where to aim upon capturing glance information) without player input is illegal, just like a trigger to recite at or backstab someone as soon as they enter a room is illegal, or a trigger to repeatedly cast cure blindness 30 times and then sleep for 5 minutes is illegal.

Setting up an trigger to butcher corpses automatically upon NPC death, for example, is illegal.

Aliases are legal and nearly impossible to do without. Triggers are not. On the other hand, I've never seen anyone punished for using triggers.

If you wanted to do this in a "legal" way, you would need to set up a trigger which set a local variable (say @aim) to "upper," "mid," or "lower" that fired when you looked at a target. Then you could have an alias for "aim @aim" that would switch your aim to that local variable, but that you had to enter yourself.

Uhh... that's still automatic. It's just not constant. That's like saying "This backstab trigger only fires when I walk into a room and see Ralina. Nothing automatic about it."

If I'm facing a rogue I'm casting cause light on myself. [REDACTED] those instant kills.

I don't think this was always the case, at least for players who were still at their keyboard and for non PK situations.

Might have become true sometime in the last few years, though. I don't remember.

I think it just depends on who the IMM is. Alshain will delete you, Aachernar doesn't give two shlits, I don't think the majority of them do.

I've punished for botting before. If there's any chance that your script will fire when I'm able to echo messages and you're not responding to tells or the fact I just slayed you, that's against the rules. Usually its easy to tell the difference. Godspeak tells and slays are usually noticed by players who are actually at the keys.

I was afk once in a newb zone (Zhensh one) taken a dump and some imm cursed and helled my character for not responding. I just deleted the character and ignored what ever the Imm had to say.

HAHAHAHA


And a simple trigger like that requires you to be at the computer and does nothing to benefit him illegally, it only helps with leveling which everyone knows is a pain anyways.
