The Matrix Online: Clarification on Exploits and Macros @ Of |
|
Due to some confusion that has arisen as <i>Matrix Online</i> staff work to investigate a possible bug involving some of the game's mining nodes, they have posted <a href="http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=announcements&message.id=95" target="_blank">concise descriptions of macros and exploits</a>, as well as which kinds of activities are forbidden.
<br><blockquote><em><b>Using Macros</b>
<br>Using macros to perform in-game actions is, for the most part, not considered exploiting. If you wish to use macros to mine Data Nodes so you don’t have to continue clicking, that’s fine.
<br>
<br>The one exception to this rule is using a macro to perform an in-game action that earns either experience points or game currency and leaving the game client to run unattended. If you’re sitting at the keyboard while the macro runs, fine. If you leave it running while you leave the keyboard, that’s not fine. This is a policy across all SOE games and many other MMOs.
<br>
<br><b>Exploits</b>
<br>In general, using in-game bugs to gain currency or experience repetitively is considered exploiting. Finding a bug that does so, reporting it, and never using the bug again is not considered exploiting.
<br>
<br>In this case, now that we are investigating these two Data Nodes, mining them is considered an exploit; and players in the area will be asked to leave by CSRs. Also, as stated above, using macros while AFK to gain currency or experience is also considered exploiting.

If a hacker hacks in an empty virtual world, does it make a sound? |
