Doing that would violate the rules here:
I know. The guy also literally is disabled. Don't be so stupid as to see that isn't a legit exception to the rules by anyone with a heart.

There's nothing wrong with making it easier to push a button. The problem is in automating the pushing of said button(s). That said, there should be no need to have a macro to sit, open book, and click meditate because - Verant gave us that. The /meditate command was removed after it was no longer required due to /book existing:

*Today's Patch*

Today we modified the EverQuest client to implement the following
changes:

<truncated list>

- Opening your spellbook will automatically cause you to begin
meditating providing that you have the skill.
- Removed the /meditate command since it is no longer necessary.

Having a body part hurt is no excuse to cheat the game. And I say that as someone who is literally using my left hand to move my mouse right now, because I injured my right arm so badly with bad ergonomics recently.

I would LOVE to cheat at EQ and automate everything, and someday if I'm super bored I might do so on one of those six-boxing servers where everyone automates everything. But that is very much NOT P99 and classic EverQuest! If anyone tries to cheat here, regardless of their personal injuries, I hope the staff bans them as they would any cheater.

Yah. I don't agree with this.

If someone loves EQ and HONESTLY has to give it up due to a physical ailment that is just super sad. All because it is unfair to do what 90% of the server is already doing...without being injured.

I hope the ones breaking the rule who are just lazy get banned...not the aging person with crippling arthritis.

No one has to give EQ up because of they can't program their keyboard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If your arthritis is really that bad, programmable keyboards won't help! You still have to press keys frequently on them. But, the vast majority of players with injury issues can take other measures (proper ergonomics, a more forgiving mouse, maybe a gamepad or standing desk, etc.) and play just fine ... without cheating.

And again, I say this as the guy with such bad RSI issues that I literally can't use my right arm to control my mouse right now (without further injuring it).
