what exactly is afk macroing?

Where was this a year ago? Lol.

*cough* NO WARPING! *cough*

Along those lines. I found a few already made scripts now that do somewhat what I would like for them to do (actions that are just redundant, but aren't overly AI based automatic) that contained /warp in them or some other variation.

That said, people, look at the script before you run it. As I seriously doubt ignorance will be an excuse. Notepad++ is what I use to do most of my programming in. For those not familiar with programming what-so-ever, it's still a good tool to use as it formats most languages efficiently for the eyes. It may make it easier for you to spot out the "warps" and other type of exploits (as they rely on offset hacking, commands such as warp -- those are no-no's).

Once I found this, I decided to make my own entirely, it's time consuming (well more so than it would be if I used one available) but I'll be assured it will work precisely as I wish AND won't make use of exploit/offset hack type of commands.

P.S. - Please don't ask me to make scripts for you, I'll help with questions where I can, but know, this week is the only time I've touched MQ with a 10 foot pole -- so I'm by far an expert.

I've tried to stay off this subject as my opinion is more then a little harsh. It's my belief that 90% of the macros run with /macro are considered afk macros. Each one uses a specific plugin and a lot of them use spell sequence and ninjalootadv. I would consider the use of ninjalootadv to be the first step to afk macroing. I would encourage the staff and people using MQ2 to not let/use /macro. Whatever you can code with the command you can do in a few minutes by alt tabbing or with EQBCS, No need to tread a dangerous line.

That said, if you have the knowledge to make your own macro that has slightly more advanced command you can run through EQBCS. Welcome to the 10%, but do take care with looping it. The moment a macro loops on itself is the moment that the human is taken out of the equation.
