The answers are all over the place after doing some googling. The part that still confuses me is in bold: “You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play.”
To me, that is saying a micro is only disallowed if it allows you to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at a faster rate. Creating a micro key that presses F1-F4 does not do any of that. If ALL rapid keystroke micros are banned, then why not end the sentence there?
