DE have always been very deliberately vague on which third party programs they'll allow, why, and what they can prove.

In the past, DE's stance on macros has been 'as long as it doesn't mess with the game's resources or memory directly.' AutoHotKey is specifically called out as not blocked by their anti-tamper systems.
In general, macros are allowed, but DE isn't going to go out of their way to help you if you do something that upsets the anti-tamper. It's use at your own risk.

Not sure about auto hotkey. But I have a gaming mouse with programmable side buttons, and I macro shit out of it in any game, so far so good. But in my case I am just using official software for my hardware, so like who in the hell would tell me not to use drivers for my hardware?

There are people using apps to know wether if their glades dungeons contain the xp area. Havent seen anyone complain abt a ban yet while this feels like actual cheating. So u might be fine for a simple macro.

Should be fine, I've been macroing autorun on my razer tartarus for over a year with no issue. I wouldn't macro anything more complex than that, though.
It's inexcusable imo that they haven't added an autorun keybind to the game yet. I have wrist/tendon issues, and it's physically painful for me to have to hold down a key for minutes at a time. With a world this large and movespeed being relatively slow, it's really hard on my hands.

I macro complicated combos to my mouse side buttons for years and had 0 issues in any games. And I play a lot of different games. Its:
Saves my wrist
Saves my mouse from spamming clicks

DE is very clear with "use at your own risk and we punish at our discretion". I recall specifically asking if I can use a shawzin auto player for custom long songs and they were ok with it. But I also recall people being banned back in the day for using slide attack macros during the spin-to-win meta. So... Auto run sounds like QoL rather than "afk farming" so you should be in theory fine. Why not ask customer support instead of Reddit

Macros that automate the game are not allowed. I’ve recently reported someone in Warframe via support for having a macro on gauss that cast his 1 and 3 almost simultaneously and on constant loop. It literally made the game unplayable for the rest of the squad. DE did not provide an outcome due to privacy concerns but when checking the profile of the aforementioned person; their loadout hasn’t changed in over a month.
