Atom Smash40 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just as the topic states. JaGeX has stated that they allow mousekeys in the game, but many people still believe that they should be banned. My stand: LEGAL They make the game faster for those who need to get exp from slow skills (ie. RC and Mining). Everyone (but Mac users) has access to them; whether they know how to use them or not is a different story. It's not botting because you are still PHYSICALLY using the keyboard and mouse to make clicks (the computer/some program isn't playing the game for you). ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampjedi Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No, any more than using a precision mouse should be reportable. My Goals and Achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No. Its like saying if I use a gaming grade mouse its unfair or I use a keyboard with nice big buttons. Mousekeys are a tool for the disabled, but making it a ban-able offense it would be discriminating against people with disabilities. For example if I have 1 hand then using a keyboard all the time is going to be easier then trying to jiggle a mouse and a keyboard.

D Jay99 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Legal. They're available for everyone, and it's in no way like using a macro because you still have to press the keys yourself. You can also be faster than others at using mousekeys, it's not like using them gives you instant success or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandr_die Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No, any more than using a precision mouse should be reportable. but... a precision mouse gives you an advantage over people with non precision mice. What's the difference from mousekeys then? What. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Kurity Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No way should it be bannable. Its hard enough to powermine with them, without them i don't know how i would survive. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orioles8 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 First - I neither have nor use mousekeys. Next - I have no problem with those who do, it's fine by me. *~72,749th to 99 Attack on 9 September 2009~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned_Nex Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Legal. EVERYONE can use mousekeys. This is why it is legal. you are not disadvantaged because you CHOOSE NOT to use it. How can you justify forcing other people to use a disadvantaged way of training to make it even for you? Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden.

Pinkbullet3 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Because less than 2% of the entire RS population actually knows how to use MouseKeys, I wouldn't care if they're made bannable or not. I understand it might seem unfair if you see a guy dropping all this ores at the speed of light, but you could always switch worlds if it hurts your eyes. I don't think its effect on the economy is noticeable. ^ Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdboyxxx Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I fail at using mousekeys, because my monitor is too large and I can't change my GHz. So, I'll never be able to use the damn thing. But why should they be against the rules? It isn't a macro and it isn't a major advantage. I can drop logs about 3-5 seconds less quicker than someone with mousekeys anyway :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayOxide Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Mousekeys is only really used when people try to play the game to be cool E.G 'efficiently'. "Look at me, I am doing things fast, boring myself to pieces, but I'm better than you at a game that requires no skill except carpal tunnel prevention!" ;) But sure if people wanna use it, go ahead. Its for disabled people. Making mousekeys illegal would basically be biased irl. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youmu Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Legal. It's implemented into Windows, and it isn't a cheating device, so why should it be illegal?
