#69384, "Turning trigger systems on/off is a non issue"
Edited on Thu 30-Nov-17 10:52 PM

Depending on your client you can either do it with a button/hotkey/alias. But the reality is that there are a subset of players who have specifically claimed to use those systems and it doesn't lead to much if any enforcement.
True back in the day they cracked down on Marcus and he stopped using the chase triggers but that hasn't been the policy for years even if a significant chunk of the player base has thought it was. I mean some(maybe just a) imms playing morts had triggers to set targets so they could rapidly leverage dash aliases to chase players. So it's understandable that the admin position has changed.
Personally I think using attack/chase/disarm triggers should be met with a deny and a month long ban on the player. It's hard to police so the punishment for being caught should be proportional to how hard it is to detect. I think all of those fundamentally remove the human aspect of the game. Especially disarm triggers, that neutralizes so many tactics and while yes they can be self detrimental it's clearly not significant enough from a user standpoint that they aren't fairly common.
A better solution of course would be adjusting game mechanics to make triggers less effective but that's likely a hell of a lot of work and honestly there are like a million other things that would be way cooler for our coders to spend their time on.
I also know there are players who feel about aliases the way I feel about triggers. To me the difference is that a button/alias simply reduces keystrokes whereas a trigger eliminates the need to process a decision.
