So as I understand it using telnet and '/filter macros none' will minimise chances of being caught. I still worry about the genbot style of tell or chat commmands which cannot be completely filtered out and are a bit of a dead giveaway.

I have been debugging macros between 2 toons in a quiet zone and recently had a couple of weird experiences... once a newbie came up and wanted buffs then disappeared whilst I was giving them .. another time I had a series of weird enquiries about my guild... I strongly suspect these were guides testing to see if I was afk... since I replied they desisted... then again maybe I am paranoid...

Any ETA on the new window?

Undies it's pretty easy to rename the commands. Change them in the array and sub do-xxx, once you've done that your tells don't need to be anything like what we programed.

GMs can't view what's being said in the MQ UI window, correct? Then couldn't you move all your filters from your main UI window to the MQ UI window and have the main UI window be there to be dumb? Or would the GMs see the MQ UI window instead? And if so, why? Do the GMs see your melee damage if you have it in a separate window? Or as you would see it in your logs?

When you say you "Program now unloaded" and continued on with the conversation... is it just me or am I missing something -- if you shut down MQ mid conversation with someone (say you are running windowed), it shuts EQ down completely right then and there...

My point is, had you "shut it down", it should have shoved you LD right in front of him... ?NO?

MQ will crash the EQ client if you just go to the toolbar and right click on the icon and select exit.

To cleanly exit macroquest and leave EQ running, type in /unload
This will unload the DLL from memory.

Then you can exit MQ.

I know for a fact that GM's can enter your LDoN instance. I've had it happen more than once.
