I feel torn as you do. In a game such as this one, where you don't really gain anything material, or any real advantage over other players, I guess it's not that big of a deal. If you're paying $10 a month to play and want to let the computer play for you, I guess it's your business - I frankly don't see the point. I mastered my voodoo doll and leveled up my staff on Kingshead, but I spent the hours it took actually doing it. And I didn't make the leaderboard because of the people that had macros doing it for them.

I can see using macros to ease sore hands from the keyboard, but frankly, anything beyond that is cheating. If we played head to head in this game, it would be a real problem, but as things are now, I guess I'd rather have the devs trying to fix the bugs (been waiting for 2-1/2 weeks for boss battle to be fixed), and deal with the players who are deliberately causing trouble online.

If they add things later to the game where your notoriety level gives you an advantage over lower level players trying to do the same things, then I would want to see them make an effort to curb this type of behaviour.
