Basic Attack macro *edit*

Im not sure if there is one of these, if so i couldnt find it.

*EDIT*

Let me be a little more specific. Im new to this whole thing, but know c++, and java, so am looking to learn.

What i want is to take my 65 cleric into felwithe, have him search for any guards that are up, go to them, attack, cast yaulp as often as possible, and bash as often as possible, loot everything, cast supernal elixer on himself, rinse repeat.

And if possible, go sell every 10 or 11 guards, and maybe go bank all the cash.

What i want to know, is this at all possible to do?

You mean macro AFK..

Go away plz!

I predict /zem in felwithe will drop to 65% penalty next patch.

but yeah its possible, and not to hard either, some cutting and pasting from various scripts on the board and you are set...

havent tried it, but a search for autohunter or auto hunter would probably even get you a script you can modify, this question is asked every now and then...

and this is why MQ has a bad reputation. People playing without even being behind the keyboard is bad. The VERY NICE people working on MQ are doing it just to remove the "repetitive" stuff of the game like tadeskills or healing in raids. Not so that you can play while not being behind the keyboard. If you want to get rich without being there, go buy some plats on e-bay and leave MQ aside. That way they wont have trouble with GM's and MQ will still be "tolerated" (that is if we don't over use it, meening MACRO WHILE AFK).

Anyway, no one can or will be watching over your shoulder to make sure that you wont do it.. but be sure that even I, a MQ user, am looking for AFK MACROING and reporting that kind of usage.

all that to say, you are the kind of person who will bring MQ down forever.

I will try to be objective...

As a paying sony customer, I reserve the right to be logged on and do absoulutely nothing.

I reserve the right to park my character right next to lino jingbelly and just stand there until I go LD.

I reserve the right to create a program that makes my character run from freeport to qeynos back and forth 1000 times in order to raise a faction.

I reserve the right to create a program that raises a skill from 0 to 250 in 1 hour.

What is my justification for this? Well after spending 3 years of endless pain leveling a total of 18 characters where 5 of them are over level 60 I feel the game has little to offer me, I dont have anymore time to waste, and I got a family to take care of now, I still enjoy the High End game, but since I dont have time to play in a High End Guild anymore, I do alternative things, maybe I do macro myself 100k to get a nice item in Bazaar, which I could have gotten the "honest" way by raiding for it, but as I said, I HAVE put in the hours, now I want something back...

Now Sony reserves the right to ban my accounts for any of theese actions, and I accept that, but it would really suck if they got on to my "evil" deeds by some report they got from another player.

as i said.. you are allowed to do whatever you want.. and i will respect that cuz i myself am using MQ for plat purpose or skill leveling purpose. But thing is i am still behind my screen so that way if someone get suspicious about me then i can defend myself and other "legit" MQ users at the same time.

And dont get me wrong when i say i will report someone macroing. I wont report if i know someone is macro baking or fletching. But if someone is killing a spawn that i need and i can prove that person is macroing while AFK.. i am sorry but that is "overuse" of MQ and HIGHLY unfair to other players who are behind the screen.

I do have a family myself, and if they need some of my time i will log out and give them the time. Even if that meens missing on a raid or an item i've been waiting for so long. But one thing i will never do is open MQ and start a macro so that i can get that item while i am not behind the computer for a long period of time.

I apologize if i offended anyone with my previous and actual post, but that is the way i think and that i will always think.

I respect everyones oppinion, and I even understand that a "missuse" of MQ can make other players suffer, I would never set up a camp unattended in a zone to get exp where it would clearly make others not being able to get a certain spawn, that said I do not like named being camped unattended with MQ, but if someone set up camp and kill for example goblins for faction in BB, I wouldnt have problem since there are many goblin camps, and I would just occupie one of them.

There was an example of some mage that camped some brownies in lesser faydark and, he got reported, now that upset me, since I cant understand, why... I mean, what would have stopped the other player from just "intercepting" the brownie and kill him for exp to himself? nothing... they move around quite a bit... anyway, the mage was level 65... a Sage and had clearly spent tons of hours to get to that point, and no matter if you macro a char or not to level 65 its still too much work required to get to that point (if you have a life) and you do actually pay sony every month for the time and effort it takes... so, the only reason I can think of that this guy that reported him (and trained his mage so he died) was because he was an idiot... there was nothing in it for him, and the mage was not making him suffer, he was just playing the game in his way minding his own buissness trying to get some exp or brownie parts in the process.

I like EQ very much and I love the high end game, I just dont have the time anymore to attend my characters "life" 16 hours a day for a few months to get to that point. So I let them play the game, and then I occationally swing by, pick em up, and go out and help others enjoy the game as well, Im a solo player... my chars have faction everywhere, I go to places rarely visited by high level chars, and buff the new players, I take them places they have never seen, and I help them out by getting nice gear in bazaar.

You have not even begun to understand how much fun EQ can really be until you have played a level 65 character. But the greif to get there, is just too much for me.

When I got into MQ, I just wanted to raise my jewlaryskill from 192 to 200 suffice to say, if sony hadnt made it so damn monotone (I combined like a 1000 gold & black pearls at 192, and I NEVER got to 193, and remember black pearls cant be bought, they are mobdropped...) I would never have gotten myself a copy of MQ. So if anyone is to blame for MQ users "ruining" the game, lets place that blame on Sony... they brought this upon themselve.

About exp.
I think they have started to realise that it requires too much, to level... look at pop zones and you will see that the bonus is over 100% in most zones...

oh I could go on, but I better switch over to my other screen and check up on my goblin camp in BB damn the dwarfes and their hate for dark elfs but Im gonna walk the halls of Kaladim soon enough (another 1000 goblins and Im there) :)

And WTF am I still a Lesser Mummy! I thought I would ding after 200 posts! We need a expbonus on the devs forum guys :) heck I might have to macro myself a few hundred useless posts haha

Who are these 'legit' MQ users? Sorry to point out the painfully obvious, but despite the 'Everquest Enhancement Progam' title use of MQ is against the EULA, therefore bannable. It doen't matter what you use it for, where you use it, whether you use it AFK, it is cheating. This holier(sp?)-than-thou attitude gets my back up.

You carry on with your /petition campaign, hopefully you'll /report your superwho output.

thank you for pointing out something i already knew. When i say "legit"
i meen people using MQ while behind the screen and not AFK.

And for the holier-than-thou thing.. i never said i was better than the others because i never use MQ afk... i know i am cheating just for using it.. and i am aware that i can or will get banned if caught using it.

And please.. read my second post on the subject about reporting MQ users.. that would probably put you up to date on the subject!

You got a really good point on that one. I never really looked at it that way. Guess i was just stuck on the fact that i dont like the idea of people killing mob without even being at the computer.

You did change my point of view on the subject. As long as other players dont suffer asbout it. Thank you

The simple fact of the matter is that when you use MQ to automate things you are cheating. The same arguments can be posed against only Skill MQ users and EXP AFK users. The bottom line is when you use MQ your cheating wether your there watching it cheat for you or you walk off and let it cheat unattended. I see a lot of folks trying to justify certain uses of MQ and condeming others. We are all cheaters, if you can live with that cool, if you can't don't macro. To say I only use it to skill up -vs- how could you auto level/exp is just plain hypocritical.

This coming from a guy named platdaddy, whos clearly offended that even the cheaters consider him lower then they...
