Index (based on post number): 1) AUTO PROGRAM / MACRO 2) AUTO HUNT 3) MINIGAME/CARNAGE RULES
This is in game rules and have nothing to do with forum. I posted the rules here with some explanation so you will be aware and understand them. I find the forum is a more convenient place to explain, better than in game clan board.

AUTO PROGRAM / MACRO
As you can see that there are a lot of people that work in the gem mining/cutting, shepherd, and weaving workshop. And you will notice that not all people are really there. All left the char for hours without attending it but their chars are still working with regular/common tool. So how it's done?
They are using a macro or some kind of auto keyboard program. The use is very common here for working skills. The program allows your character to automatically switch between tools or even buy a new one in the factory.
Further more, you should know that you can open multiple PlayNexia window using only 1 computer. So with that program, you are able to use multiple char to work simultaneously.
AUTO PROGRAM IS ALLOWED BUT LIMITED !!! You are also allowed to use macro for getting an achievement title that does not involve killing a monster. You are allowed to use macro in hunting as long as you are still there, not AFK.
Note: A GM/Moderator in game may test your awareness/presence by moving your char abnormally and wait for your response.
WARNING The use of such program should only be limited to only when working in that places (shepherd, weaving, gem mining, gem cutting)!!!
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT FOR HUNTING !!! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT IN MINI GAMES / CARNAGE !!! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT TO FARM ITEMS FROM KILLING MONSTER BY AFK AND MACRO-ING !!! NO ANIMALS MONSTERS MAY BE HARMED BY USING MACRO IF YOU ARE AFK !!!

AUTO HUNT
Hunt = kill a monster and get experience from it. So auto hunt defined as automatically kill a monster and get experience.
First thing you need to know. There are no specific limit number of time/exp set by GM. So this rule definition is applied to the widest definition possible.
Auto hunt becomes illegal when the automatic hunt is accompanied by "no human directly controlling the character's action/s". That action can be anything that the character do and cause damage to the monster. Regardless of how much the damage caused. Such action can be achieved by using macro/program or holding space bar by putting something heavy on the keyboard (to make your char do nonstop swing/melee).
So holding a space bar (while you AFK) in places where by default (not summoned), a monster may spawn will be considered as auto hunting. You cannot argue that the monsters' exp are too insignificant to make a stat boost or your char was facing a wall, not possible hitting any monster. You cannot argue that the monster is not killed yet when you were arrested (example you do auto hunt to boss and arrested before you have the chance to finish that monster)
Remember, the definition applied is the widest definition possible. So even if you AFK for only 30 seconds. It is still illegal. There won't be a fair value/number to be set as cut off which exp will be considered as auto hunt or how long the char may AFK and do auto hunt.
There is also a place you will be considered as auto hunt if you prevent/avoid your char from auto-AFK system while you are not presence. That place is 'sewer', a hunting place in castle. That rule was applied because you will get exp if a member of your clan kill a monster in that room, without the need to be in his/her group.
Note: Although AFK and macro / auto program your character to do paralyze/vex/scourge to the monster in the entire room is not auto hunt, I will consider this as gray zone and suggest you to avoid it. There will be no winning if you argue this with a moderator, let alone a GM.

MINIGAME/CARNAGE RULES
There are 3 short rules posted by GM Nuba. 1) Do not open multi client 2) Do not use macro to stay awake in arena 3) Do not intentionally ruin the game
Most people doesn't agree when I banned them, especially with rule no 3. It's just a common sense.
Remember the rule definition is applied to the widest definition possible. And it's like the law of gravity, the law doesn't care you understand or not, believe it or not, you will always be pulled to the center of the mass. So, GM and Operator don't care whether you understand the rules or not. You can ask the rules before entering the game. But none ever ask what does the rules mean, especially the 3rd law.
1) Do not open multi client It means 1 person may only enter the game room/arena with only one character. Arguing that using two computers (even with different IP Address) is not multi client is stupid. Use common sense, this rule goal is to prevent you getting too many advantage with the presence of mini game/carnage and a lot of idle chars in the game. Even though you won the argument, you will still considered violating the 3rd rule.
2) Do not use macro to stay awake in arena The AFK checking system: When your character does not move from the coordinate for about 1 minute, your char will enter 'AFK mode'. It's when your char starts to sleep and snoring. GM has put a warning blue message in the system that will appear before your char really enters the AFK mode in mini game/carnage. There will also a pop up asking whether you are there or not.
All the systems were made to kick pure AFK chars. i.e. Chars that stuck from crash/disconnect or the person in real life controlling that char really has something to do and left his/her char.
Now, since the AFK system only will show up to chars that doesn't move, a char that keeps on moving, e.g. moving in a box pattern with or without the use of macro/auto program, will not be kicked automatically since there won't be any AFK warning message showing up.
Furthermore, GM Nuba has instructed to Operator to ban a character that act as if using a macro, regardless of really using it or not. You can say it's subjective, not fair, but I think it's common sense, why would you act like you use a macro in the first place.
3) Do not intentionally ruin the game This rule has the widest definition from all.
This rule refer to everything that affects and disturb the overall gameplay. Although there are many, I will only list several common ones.
Things that makes / affects overall gameplay. A) Intentionally blocking other people's char. B) Make the team unbalance (make the other team easier to win). C) Ruining someone/everyone attention by flaming/insult/bully/using bad words, etc.
I'm sure you understand point A and C. So I will explain more of point B. Remember, it's just common sense.
The following things are considered as making team unbalance: - Chatting nonstop with someone while the game has started.
- Do nothing, just walking around, watching what everyone doing, didn't help or contribute for team wins.
- The char is idle No one cares what the owner is doing, whether hunting boss with other char, got a phone call, have a guest. Use return scroll!
- Char was idle multiple times and avoided auto kick from AFK system by moving the char a little bit from time to time. Idiots have argued that I shouldn't banned them because there is already a system to kick them automatically if the were really AFK. Yeah right -.- Some even ask me to understand their reason for idling. NO ONE CARES what the owner is doing, whether hunting boss with other char, got a phone call, have a guest, watching TV, go to restroom, etc. YOU MOVE 1 METER AWAY FROM KEYBOARD, THAT IS AFK = AWAY FROM KEYBOARD. Whatever reason that is, I called it ABUSE of AFK system. Even your 30 seconds of idle may have contributed to the team loss. Use return scroll !!
- Bad and long LAG. When you are lagging heavily and attempt to move your char. Your char will only move a little bit from time to time. That will be seen similiar with people that idling and avoiding AFK system. If you maintain your presence to get free exp and BP, you have to be banned. Common sense, I tell you that your presence may contribute to the team loss and you need to be punished so the next round I'm sure I will not be in the same team with you. Furthermore, the game dynamic is too fast to carefully observe lag pattern.
Note: How do you know if you lagging real bad? It's when you move quite far and you dont see any player/object/NPC that supposed to be there. You feel/see that you are playing alone. If nothing loads to your screen in 3 seconds or below, you are lagging heavily. And no, 5-10 seconds are not good enough. Your char can be seen as idling by other people because your char actually didnt get that far.
- Peace You are doing a great deal of ruining the gameplay if you make peace with the enemy team. e.g. in walking dead mini game you act as a 'good zombie' by not wanting to kill any human.
The game has been designed so that the more you contribute to your team the higher chance your team will win.
- Pretending to be AFK/hiding/waiting for enemy to fall to your trap. You can say this is tactic and not ruining the game. But let me get this clear. What you called as tactic is considered as covert AFK/Idle. So If GM/Operator see enemy team walk pass you safely and you did not attempt to do anything like hit/shoot/pursue, you can be banned with AFK/Idle reason. GM/Operator won't care whatever reason you provide. Even more stupid when you are lagging and use that kind of tactic. How would we even know you are lagging/idle if your character didn't move at all. So you want to use this tactic? Make sure you aren't lag.
I believe the system and rules are good enough. Some complain that the 24 hour ban is too harsh. Operator should just kick, not ban that long. I personally don't agree. No fear of punishment will lead to more abuse. That will lead to cases where those who have multiple computer/ip address will use more than 1 char in the game and if GM/Operator is not around you will see a lot of idle chars in your team. Think if that those using speed hack will only be disconnected, not jailed. If that's the case, even I wouldn't mind to use speed hack.
