free the bards
 
programmable keyboards and mice should be allowed as long as they don't respond to the game on their own and aren't used while afk. people blow them way out of proportion. they're like /r and other forms of autocomplete. they don't make decisions for you. they save keystrokes to protect the health of your hands and wrists. i'm all for making the client and server as close to classic as possible but this isn't about the client or server. this is about peripherals and ergonomics.

You arent supposed to but I dont think youd be detected. Kind of the whole allowing boxing across servers would be too much of a hassle to make against the rules since they cant box test two characters on seperate servers etc

cool the way I would box test would be to randomly DDoS a specific connection and simulate 1999's internet that way if they are routing thru another tunnel their main pipe would would just go link ded as well because while the tunnel wasnt getting packets thru the middle the end point would still be ded.

i'm not nice :(

Shamans average more CPM. Save them first.

I'm really torn on this. On the one hand, obviously such programs were banned on live, so they're clearly unclassic and don't belong here.

On the other hand, as a Shaman who has to insta-click Cann, and as a tradeskiller ... and as a person with real life RSI issues ... this change would be a godsend.

Honestly, I'd be happy if they just nerfed the insta-click thing so I could go back to cann-dancing like we did on Live. I also wouldn't object to Blue (only) getting that melody stuff for Bards ... but really all I care about is consistency. Saying it's against the rules, and making players who play fairly suffer RSI, while not cracking down on cheaters, would truly be the worst option.
