Can you get banhammered for turbo/speed switch controllers?

[Pikarya]

Yeah, lol it up or whatever. But I've been using on my mules (x360) for claiming for a long time and was wondering if this can be detecting by SE in anyway? There is no way since its just based off the speed of your input via controller, right?

[shaddix]

you just have fast fingas my friend

Make sure everyone thinks you're korean so it won't look suspicious.

[Pikarya]

Well I've never heard of someone getting jailed for it. So I'm just wondering.

[shaddix]

I haven't either. I wish they would tell us how they detect cheaters! I guess they could look at timestamps of your actions and see they are perfectly synchronized every time!

[Osede]

I don't know if it is detectable or not. But using some sort of auto fire control will be considered a ban. It was anounce long way back during Dec 2002 ~ Early 2003 due to ppl using this kind of controller on PS2 for bot fishing.

So people can find ways to get around it? Would be verrrrry smart on their end <.<

I highly doubt you would be banned for it, unless you make it overly suspicious. I will say this, it is very detectable, especially if you get claim every single time and it's faster than a human can possibly send the electrical timing.

Ever since they put in claim block it's not like an autofire function on your controller is going to help you claim.

As for being jailed/banned for it not a chance. There's 0 way of them knowing whether it's a controller or you're really really fast and pounding buttons. I can easily tap for short periods as fast as a turbo controller, geez, not many people here play arcade games? FFXI may even have it built in that there's only so fast button repeats can happen.

What will get you banned though is if you took an autofire controller and tapped it down AFK to level enhancing magic or try to claim. That is against the rules and a GM might jail, suspend or ban you.

Fairly sure there's a limit to how fast actions can be processed. It's not worth using though just in case it is detectable. Spam manually to be safe.

A friend of mine made a manual bot for his BRD out of a lego motor; he chip-clips the ctrl button down and has the lego robot press a macro over and over.

You can get GMd for it, but whether or not you can get banned, dunno.

My friend capped his Summoning Magic using a Turbo Controller. He would just go to some desolate zone, run himself out of MP and go AFK over night whilst spamming a summon. The Auto-Refresh would let him summon a few times a minute and it would dismiss itself when he ran out of MP.

This was before you got skill ups from BPs.

[Kerberoz]

Doubt there's any way to detect it, I've never seen a turbo controller that hits the botton faster than a normal human can

[Pikarya]

Well, as it has been mentioned above. Theres no way possible per-say with just hardware to go past what the game can input. Since if you try to spam a function, or command. There is a wait period/delay etc. preset by the game.

So I really can't see them detecting this. Unless they can see in your chatlogs things like the errors when your spamming too fast.

[Ophannus]

Why did people skill up summon magic before that patch anyway it never did anything except for interruption rate.

[Mayareira]

Yep, there is absolutely no way they can detect this. A "turbo" button doesn't do anything but spamming an input.

If you've played MGS1 and managed to pass a certain scene, your thumb is a potential turbo button.

[shaddix]

You have seen those pictures of the GM logs where every single thing is timestamped. I'm sure spamming something constantly wouldn't be detectable, but if you had specific delays/times between certain actions they could possibly think something is fucked up if they got to looking at it.

i got banned on 360 for using a turbo control and afk mining in mount Z ; ; like a year ago they said it was 3rd party tools
