Automation.

One area that we have zero tolerance is the area of automation. We have very in-depth rules about this subject in HELP AUTOMATION, but just so it's here and abundantly clear:

You CAN NOT script your client to automate anything that generates experience, marks, or any other tangible benefit. This includes, but is not strictly limited to:

- PVE/Bashing
- Questing
- Incursions
- MARKET orders
- Hacking

One question that I get asked a lot is "how much automation is acceptable" - I'm all for quality of life things, if you want to make an alias that does a your bashing combo, that's fine. If you want to write a script to keep attacking a single mob until it's dead - that's ok too (as long as you're there and present - see below).

What's not ok is automating things to a point where you can take your hands off the keyboard, go get a drink, and have your triggers carry on completing that activity without you being involved in any way.

We take this matter very seriously, as it is detrimental to the game as a whole. Punishments for this will involve the loss of your character(s).

If you suspect someone is partaking in these activities, file an ISSUE (ISSUE ME I suspect Garryn is autobashing because.... ), and we'll take a look.
