Usage of macros is not allowed under the RuneScape rules (Rule 7) and may result in action taken against that player's account, such as a temporary or permanent ban. The terms macroer, autoer, botter or bot usually refer to players who use such programs. A simple macro may just move the cursor to a certain position and perform a click while more advanced ones may interact with the game client directly. A macro operates by automating user input to the game. Macroing, botting, or autoing is the act of using third-party software to perform automated tasks. For the option under the chat interface, see Autochat.
