Again, as I am new to macroquest, I am hoping other n00bs & those that don't already know get this & remember it... If you ever require help from SOE & need it right away, you may think the live chat on eqlive would be helpful... Think again.
Do it via email, because when you sign into station.com for live healp chat, you are agreeing to let the tech look into your files for a reason EQ may not be running properly... it will even prompt you to make hidden files not so hidden. Hence, the tech may say to you, well, that Macroquest could be your problem, or this & this & so on.... Gr8, all is well, go to log into EQ, User:**** Pass:******** ~ Popup message: Your account has been suspended until further notice, email tech at SOE.com for details.
Just a tip, oh & a suggestion as well:
When making a macro, say you wanna watch TV but wanna run yer Smithing TS .mac, include in the code some type of auto response (to tells) Yes, may I help you?.... or something like that, /pause macroquest, & do a long series of system beeps.... to alert you that a tell has been sent to you... this way, you can get back to the computer before someone (ie GM or snooping player that hates the 133t) gets suspicious, & you can respond accordingly.

GM tells you "Hey are you macroing right there in PoK?"
Noob tells GM1 "Yes, may I help you?"


Umm.. I would think of something different to say.

Here's a tip:

If you don't know how to code a good afk macro where you won't get caught, you probably shouldn't try to afk macro to begin with.

again... n00b here LOL

Given: GMs dont automatically know you are running MacroQuest, you have to do something that people cant normally do or dont normally know

Step 1: Accept the fact that you can be banned if caught
Step 2: Try not to do anything that would get you caught
