You clearly dont understand what you are quoting. for a start that is not the ROC it is the EUALA
using a hardware macro does not break any of the terms listed.
so lets break it down insted of trying to scare monger.
Does using a macro in hardware do the following:
(Q) modifying the Software in anyway (A) No
(Q) Intercepting or scanning Game traffic or communications (A) No
(Q) changing the way the Game plays or playing in an abnormal manner or in a way that could impair the correct operation of the Game (A) No
(Q) Is it in the same nature of any of the things listed in the EUALA as MOD's / Hacks / Addons that do the above mentioned no no's. (A) No
No this is not a breach to the EUALA it is not a fully automated macro/script/bot/ well the SWTOR has it worded as mods/addons 3rd party software or hardware that modifys the game etc, It is a semi automated function it does not alter the game. so dont worry about it.
even in wow this type of macro is fine. the ones they ban people for are fully automated scrips/macros. things like using a logitech to fish, or prospect, basicaly the type of macro you can turn on and walk away from the computer.
