Title: Making WoW Easier using SendKeys
Post by: Tazo on May 07, 2006, 12:53 PM
I was playing around with SendKeys() in VB and realized I could make my WoW life a lot easier... my only question is: can Blizzard detect me using VB6 to send keys?

Edit: If so, is there measures I can take to disguise the macroing/'botting'?

WoW would be a lot easier for me using the teleport cheat.

I think they use protection similar to Diablo 2's, so I wouldn't think you could...

my take on it is, though, how does blizzard know if you are actually pressing '1' or using a program to send '1' to it?

Well, what do you think a keyboard does? What does hitting th '1' key do - magically make the '1' appear on WoW? I highly doubt that.

No, it's not detectable, but it is very suspicious if you're hitting the keys too fast...

Remember, the same goes for mouse clicks. They may suspect you are cheating if every certain amount of seconds, an identical task is performed.

After doing OSDev and being amazed at how magical the keyboard was (it popped an entire FreeBSD distro up before my eyes when I hit the enter key after typing "please"), I firmly believe it could do that.

Keep in mind that what you are proposing is exactly what Blizzard does not want clients doing. Expect to get banned or suspended if you get caught.

I know, I only used it a couple hundred times, so I'm done now. It was pretty simple, just used random intervals inbetween X and Y seconds, saved me a lot of time.  ;D
