I recently bought a keyboard which allows recording for macro’s. I found some very old topics about macro’s from 2013 as listed below:

My question is: are these rules still up to date? I can’t find any other topics more recently then these.

There are some updates on this rule from way back though.

The macro rule only excludes macros that give you a gameplay / combat advantage. Hence the music instruments being 100% allowed to be running with macros. They don’t condone it, but they aren’t against it for those macros.

Read up more on the updated conditions to macros here:

tl;dr: If you can use it in combat or to bot, you’ll get banned. Other than that, you’ll be fine.
