Default How would they handle it

I guess the question would be, how would they find out. If you are indeed at the keyboard and playing the game as they want you too, how would they find out if you are using an auto-cure macro like this and if so, shouldnt they give you a warning since, as you mentioned, you achieved this all using the software they provide for UI modification?

I dont know, we all use the devices and technology available to us to make things simpler, its the nature of our species. The idea behind it would be to allow you to devote more attention to other things. I for one macro my heart casts I have four hotbuttons, Healers/Tanks&Others/Mages/Scouts for casting hearts. I dragged the spell ability command from the in game macro maker and typed in the appropriate names for each class for the target and spam those buttons when I know hearts are starting to run out. Could that be considered cheating, maybe but I think it all depends on how you use it.

If you are using something like this so that you can indeed go afk and reap in game rewards while you arent actually at the keyboard actively pursuing it, then yes I would say that is wrong. If you are using this to help you to make things go easier and more smoothly so you can play even better then I dont see it being a problem. If you have used this script, you will notice that in most circumstances where healing/curing is most crucial it is actually best to disable it and take over the control for yourself, so it isnt really helping you to win where you would be unable to do so otherwise. Its like a being on an aircraft, they engage autopilot and monitor the controls and are still "actively" flying the plane but if something out of the ordinary happens they need to resume control themselves. Do they still get a paycheck for flying the plane, sure they do.

/Shrug, I dont know, Im sure the purist will disagree and this will be batted back and forth but thats my take on it.
