    So to those of you who have experience playing on a controller using JoyToKey I am wondering if it is okay to use the "auto repeat" function. All it does is repeat a button press when holding down said button, essentially doing the same thing that holding down a key on your keyboard does. For instance if this option is not set every single time I want to use an ability I would have to spam the button over and over where as on keyboard you can just hold it. I don't see how this would be a violation of the TOS as it's not macroing multiple button presses to the same key, just simply emulating how the game plays on keyboard but I would just like to get some clarification just incase. Thank you.

    I recall anything just needs to be a 1-to-1. One button = one action.

    I believe it can be summed up as rebinding your keys and yes its allowed.

    Personally I would say yes it's allowed, but do be reminded that you have to respond if another player or Staff prompts you so that you may avoid being mistaken as a botter

    You can't use the reason of "I am using auto-repeat so I cannot reply"

    Note: probably would be best to get an official confirmation from a Staff

    If the original key function is the button you have to press repeatedly, modifying it to able hold it down would be not allowed because the original function changed.

    Hey i got interested and i have just the same question ( using the auto button to emulate holding down a button) did you try it or have a decisive answer if it is allowed ?

    Should be fine as long as holding the controller button down mimics the same action as holding the corresponding key down on a default keyboard (e.g. walking, jumping, looting items, using skills). Feel free to ask about any actions you're unsure about :D.
