Macros

According to Bungie's terms of services, macros are allowed for accessibility reasons to complete "trivial tasks", but what is considered a trivial task? If I were to set up a macro to begin in orbit, go to the tower, pick up gunsmith repeatables, travel to shattered realm thrallway cp, kill thrall with the necessary weapons, turn in the completed bounties, return to orbit and repeat, would this be allowed? "Players will only be punished for automation when it circumvents challenges all players face during gameplay" (source - https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/255149330?sort=0&page=0&path=1) Travelling between destinations alongside collecting and turning in bounties are clear trivial tasks that do not "circumvent challenges all players face during gameplay", killing thrall from an unkillable position is essentially just clicking your mouse in one spot, and for this reason I consider it a trivial task, however I understand if some players may not. But even if the thrall section of my proposed algorithm is completed manually, what's to stop me from automating everything apart from that specific part? I believe there is a lot of uncertainty in regards to this area of the terms of services/code of conduct leading to confusion amongst players and in turn lots of unknown rule-breaking. I've asked many members of the community for their thoughts but I am yet to receive a clear response so now I turn to you, Bungie.

  • "Trivial" means something like helping to shoot a semi-automatic gun quickly when a user has trouble physically clicking/pressing a button. What you described with traveling between destinations is far more than trivial.

    • So you’re asking whether a macro that basically plays the game for you counts as trivial?

      • You’re making a huge stretch in implying that something like a macro doing bounties for you or resource gathering is going to fall under the “trivial” category.

      • I come across a lot of pc macro players being on the leaderboards for power level. I myself see this as an unfair advantage. As I am grinding out power level properly as bungie intended. By completing bounty’s etc. When I check there game history out they are afk in shattered throne. This is solely for them to be top of the power leader boards. So I see it as cheating the system to be honest. Hope that helps bud.
