No, autoclicker would give you an advantage in that context since it’d make you hit faster in-game, which is a direct advantage inside the game. It directly affects your gameplay.
You don’t get more fish by macro-ing, nor do you have any higher chances of items.
So at this point it’s about whether staff will “pretend” to enforce the rule, like you said. But then again, it’s not like they’ll have to actively join games and watch everyone. The players will dm staff with an exploiter report like they always do, and the staff will carry out the punishments.
If we make it a general rule to disallowing autofishers, people will sure feel scared and not use it.
And I mean, you’ve already stated yourself that fishing programs, or any macro for that matter, will be giving players an advantage.
It still allows you to strike faster in the game and thus have a higher hit rate, which I believe the rule was made to prevent. Hell, go talk to them if you want autoclickers in it, I don’t play that game.
All macro fishing does is allow users to be productive with their lives. Literally all it does is gain crowns and a few items, and rarely a sunken piece.
They can’t multitask in WoM while macro fishing, so they don’t gain the advantage of how users can jump back and forth between tasks to be more efficient.
Boss farming is more efficient for crowns, anyway. All macro fishing does is let you fish when you’d otherwise be busy.
Fishing sucks so much that I don’t even bother macro-fishing because the idea of forcing an automated program into doing something as torturously mundane as the in-game fishing seems like I would be the first one to die in a robot uprising
Auto clickers would be like fps boosters pre-storyline update. It provides a tangible advantage immediately.
Autofishers, would be a lot more comparable to, well, autofishers. In minecraft you can setup autofishers fairly easily, to do the job of fishing for you. It’s literally the exact same thing: you automate a task and avoid having to use your own time to do it.
I’m not going to get into this shitshow of “autofishers good” and “autofishers bad” again, but I’m just saying that’s a poor comparison.
even if you ban macros, you have to keep in mind hundreds of people play the game regularly
enforcing such a stupid new rule would be a hassle to begin with
this is just useless, people will still do it on alts even if there is punishment for it
theres already been dozens of these macro debates just stop pls
At that point you might as well just make fishing be able to be done while AFK without the need of a macro if the majority does think that fishing is a mundane and mind-numbing task (could also make some changes to fishing to make it less profitable while AFK as well). It isn’t really fair to be forced to having to resort to fishing macros if you want to even remotely compete in the rate of obtainment of sunken items.
