Define Unattended Macroing of resource gathering?

[Kryptonical]

Question for debate:

If I'm deep sea fishing and in my macro I put a message that says, "I'm here but on my other character (Biski). Please talk to him.", would this be acceptable so I don't have to babysit myself while fishing? I personally don't see why it wouldn't be acceptable as long as I put my characters name in the macro.

lol, absolutely not.

As the rules still stand, as long as you are active on one client you are fine.

well what if
-i run a fishing macro with Jo, saying "please go see my other character, his name is Mike."
-and that Mike is actually another friend of mine,
-GM goes to him, "oi, are you Jo the fisher?"
-and Mike says "why yes, i am."

sure it seems needlessly complicated just for some MIBs or ores or whatever. anyway, i don't think anyone would/should bother an IP check. i say jail Jo. Then jail Mike too for trying to smuggle drugs when he's visiting Jo. (If by any chance he's clean, just plant some weed on him and jail him anyway.)

Negative. The GM goes to my other character and tells me to move my fisherman to prove its me and prove I'm there. If Hemp is correct though then its a moot point I guess. Will a GM actually take the time to travel to all 3 of my characters and ask each one if I'm AFK? I have a feeling the answer is no, but I could be wrong.

Not all staff are empowered to see your account information, or tell that the two characters are the same person.

As the rules still stand, as long as you are active on one client you are fine.

if this is in fact truth, then I think the wording should be changed.

"...as long as you are actively watching THAT client you are fine"

Or maybe put a stop to the multiclienting nonsense.

How about this for a macro?
fish
fish
move forward one
fish
fish
say "hi"
say "yeah it is pretty nice day outside"
say "nah she broke up with him yesterday"
fish
fish
say "Texas Walker Ranger is the BEST show ever"
say "OK see you later"
fish
fish
check loop.


I figure should have all your bases covered and no-one would ever know.
