The CoC now states:


"Use of unauthorized third-party software or macros with the Software may be prohibited in the sole discretion of Turbine. Specifically, you may not use third-party software which allows your character to gain experience points or items without being at the keyboard, ready to respond to Turbine staff on demand (this activity is commonly called an “Unattended Macro”). Logging off as soon as an admin appears (visible or invisible) or when an admin tries to speak with you will be taken into consideration in determining the use of Unattended Macros."


So yes, technically, buff bots and crafting macros are now considered unattended macros though trade bots are not.

Because we would choose to follow the CoC, just like we always have, that would make us hypocritical macroers?????


I would love to see how you make that connection, I've always been a fan of Rube Goldberg.


Yes, in-game huds and 'info-only' type plugins could probably remain. At least until their legal department gets ahold of the CoC again.


Buffbots gain xp from buffing (admittedly not a lot) and often gain items (through donations). That is what the CoC kills for most bots.


Edit: Tradebots are gaining items. They are selling for a profit. If they gave everything away for no charge, and earn no xp while doing it, then they would be legal. But if they actually 'trade', then they are against the CoC.

What kind of trade bot does not gain items? They prohibited in a literal translation of the CoC.


I gues you could make a bot that gave items away and still be within the CoC

Before everyone starts freaking out, there is no change in Turbine policy. Only a change in wording by the legal staff.

The wording may have been changed by legal but there has been no change in policy or enforcement. Closing before the inevitable UCM flames start.

Actually unfortunately yes trade bots are as well you are able to gain ITEMS IE what you are paid for what you sell. This sounds like it will be SUCKING soon

On the 'good' side, they have included a 'sole discretion of Turbine' clause, which could PERHAPS mean individual plugins could be approved while others are not.

I'm new here, so please don't flame me too hard, but what if Turbine approves Decal?
