    Hey guys,

    Since I feel the rules have become stricter and misunderstandings happen, I just wanted to check if the following things would be allowed:

    1. Using teamviewer (on your phone?) to rebuff your mage while summoned beasts kill mobs (useful for farming). (Your computer, your phone, you're the only one controlling something but most things that are happening are with you being "afk").
    2. Using teamviewer to let someone else buff on your account without logging onto your account (restricting them to using only 1 or 2 keys).
    3. Using teamviewer to let someone else move your char around without logging onto your account.
    4. Letting someone log onto your account ONLY to trade items if you don't have access to a computer.

    I'd love to hear your opinions about it.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying every one of these points should be allowed. I just want to know where the line is.

    No 1 is risky.
    2, 3, 4 totally violated account sharing rules

    1 Is technically using a 3rd party program; you do something that is normally not possible in-game
    2 3 4 are pure account sharing and is not allowed. Like botting is a robot playing your account, that is the other person controlling your account.

    In short: No.

    2,3, and 4 are clearly account sharing but I would argue that 1 is botting due to the AFK nature of it. However, you're still allowed to play legends through Teamviewer as long as you don't AFK Bahamut bot, right?

    better question is if you activate it naturally without any 3rd party programm.
    is it allowed to just let it do what it wants and wait until it expire to recast it?

    the trick is to not get caught, if you are not caught then you are not doing anything wrongMapleF3

    I think this is fine since you arent actually attacking or anything, its literally pressing a buff once then leaving. Nor are you using a 3rd party program or paperweight.

    So if I train my dog to press a button for buffs every min or two, then that's not considered botting right?
    Wait, then now its considered as account sharing.MapleF3

    No, people have been banned for botting for doing this to farm heartstoppers. That's why I'm saying doing it through teamviewer is a botting offense.

    from my knowledge from other private server, their staff expect u to reply if someone asked any question to you when u come back to rebuff, so if u fail to reply longer than your buff duration time, you can be banned for botting.

    Not sure how it works in MapleLegends though

    Would be really stupid to consider it as botting, it's literally a function of the skill itself...

    It'd be good if we could have further clarifications on this matter.
    I can only consider it as botting under the scenario where someone does the above but does not respond to questions at all over a period of time and continues to repeat the same action.
