I've been trying to find an answer to this question for a while now. I don't personally use any macros but I can see some areas where they might be beneficial. For instance, instead of hitting your melee and grenade keys to trigger your super why couldn’t you just create a single button macro to perform that? It’s not allowing you to do anything that’s “game-breaking” and it’s a normal game function that you are triggering. Not to mention a function like that is not automated. It still requires that key be pressed each time for activation. A broader question I guess is if the macro in question (whatever it might be) is a simulation of real possible in-game actions that requires a manual keystroke by the player each time an activation of that macro is desired, is that considered grounds for a ban or is that a totally legit way to play the game? Thoughts are greatly appreciated, and hopefully a bungie moderator can step in here and answer this too.

On pc, it's okay to use if you need to use them, like someone with a disability. If you use them to try to circumvent idle detection, to autofire on the crucible or something else along those lines, you can be banned.
