[PSA] GGG automatically scans and bans for certain English keywords in your in-game Whisper messages

OP, you're surprised that being vocal about breaking ToS, regardless of whether we as a community agree it's ehtical or not, can get you banned? And you've been using those macros? Due to your candor on the subject here, I wouldn't be surprised if you actually got banned for the macros in some other fashion.

Possible reasons...

1.) You told people what you did in a PM and all it took was one person to report you, then GGG to investigate and ban you.

2.) GGG discovered your macro usage from their own methods of client to server communication, and banned you.

3.) Your PM was read by an automatic filter, alerted GGG, they investigated, and then banned you.

Any of those is possible because as a community we don't know the exact ways in which GGG monitors the client to prevent cheating and breaches of the ToS. Yes, there are probably botters and others with accounts for PoE that are abusing the system, but they're also probably much more clever about covering up that usage than you obviously were. I just can't believe you were surprised about a ban when you openly talk about and use macros that perform multiple actions.

But I'm bored!

No, I agree. OP lost their steam looking at their last post. Literally just asked about bump limit just to bump his own thread...
"It's all clearer now

The real problem is they designed the game to REQUIRE potions for endgame gameplay.


1)Want to max resists through gear? too bad it doesnt mean squat
2)want to run purity aura's? They help, but in reality still mean squat

Oh and not mention anything that builds around Life being a utility to stay alive, good luck, since thats where you will need to put all your nodes on the tree to get enough to survive, can forget about much offense unless you can find it between life nodes.

Make flasks a utility instead of a requirement, then they can ban all flask macro users plain and simple.

Don't say you use any type of macros or programs over private messages or you will get permabanned without warning like I did.

GGG bans you for telling someone over private message that you use a macro that presses 12345 with 1 button, while "/remaining" or logout macro is allowed even though they do the exact same thing? Hilarious.

Should obviously have an in-game option for those instead of banning people because they don't want to press 12345 every 4 seconds which is a requirement for end-game content. (for some builds at least)

GGG knows that the majority of players use some kind of macros but can't stop it because macros are undetectable, but still ban you for saying you use macros because not banning would only make GGG look bad.

Protip: Don't try to help new players over private messages with quality-of-life stuff or you will get fucked in the ass.

Also if you email support they will tell you that "You can still create a new account". Why the fuck permaban people without warning if you just allow them to make a new account? Oh yeah, so GGG might get MORE MONEY because the game is borderline unplayable without more than 4 stashtabs + currencytab + premiumtab.

Had been playing since closed beta and have never used any "cheats" but I know people who use bots 24/7 and never get banned.

I guess I missed the patch notes that said "We have now started scanning all your in-game messages because thats the only way we can ban new players who don't want to chop off their fingers because we can't be bothered to code QoL options for flask spamming"

TL;DR: "Banned for breaching Terms of Use" -> Terms of Use do not state anything similar to "You cannot use a macro that does 5 server actions with 1 button, but you can use other macros" -> GGG cannot even actually prove or detect that I did anything illegal but banned me anyway by looking at my chat logs.

Banned for breaching a rule list that doesn't even list the rule I broke. What.

Or they ban them anyway since you know... it is against the rules.

Like I said a few posts back, if you are cramping your hands and having other wrist problems etc from using flasks, you are doing something wrong and need to learn computer physical health. You also aren't playing right if you have to spam all your flasks all the time really. You may argue that isn't true for some builds but I personally haven't played a single build that required flask spamming to survive, they are utility to me.

i shouldn't be banned for "breaching ToU" if the ToU doesnt say anything about "cannot use macros that perform more than 1 server action"

its hard to play legit when everyone(including streamers) use some kind of macro, and the official rules don't say anything about what kind of macros you can and cannot use. The only place where this retarded rule is stated is in some random dev post buried somewhere that apparently every new player should automatically be aware of lmao

should give you a one-time warning(for macro usage, not hacks) before you get permabanned imo

What are you even talking about? I know plenty of streamers that don't use macros, and do all content in hardcore... If you can only play the game with flask macros, then that just means you are terrible at the game. Apparently you are also terrible at remembering your throwaway acct passwords as well. Holy fuck... this thread.
U MAD?

are you saying pressing 12345 every 4 seconds takes skill? LUL

It sure takes skill to design a build that "requires" a 5 key simultaneous press every 4 seconds to stay alive...
