Oww... owwwww! Stop...pressing...that....buttion!

Praying, mining, baking, etc... Your keyboard hates it. You hate it. Let's stop it. When you push the action key, make the action contune until you move, or something. This is stupid that I must stick something in my keyboard and watch my screen for hours to get something from my diety. I can't do anything else either. Arg, so stupid.

I have lots of other things to say too, one of them is...

Change the entire system, keep the idea base. But really, this has got to change.

*shrug* It's better to press it for mining and alike, harder for people to idle and it isn't as time consuming and commonly used as praying.

Heavy stone + small cylinder of (x) = praying

One of those birds that dip up and down = mining

Hm, I think it was discussed for a little while.

Well, whatever, it doesn't really matter. It's a good idea anyway.

Using hardware is not manipulating the game as such unlike the programs that do so I don't see where that would or even could be illegal to do.

It isn't exactly manipulating Graal if a program makes your computer think you are continously pressing a key.

How is it illegal? The program sends a command that you are pressing 'd' etc., insted of the keyboard.

Anyway, point is, this is stupid, and my keyboard is hurting.

I don't have a problem with mining or praying - I usually watch some episodes of a nice tv-series in front, bless the always on top feature . As for baking, where do you button-mash there?

Sometimes you can pray for hours and hours. You eventually get d/c if you dont move every 15 minutes. I don't want my computer being taken over by one buttion. :/

The problem lies in the concept itself. Having people button mash is exquisitely.....retarded.

Just a wacky idea. I don't know if you can 'quick key' mine?; if you can save it as P like pray, and then hold it down :-)

They should just get rid of the button mashing -_- It a redundent concept to just sit there and press/hold a button for hours on end. They should make it more interactive.

Just a thought but isnt mining (hitting rocks with something) kinda reduntant in its own way? So doesnt button mashing seem similar (Hitting buttons with a finger)?

Side note: I dislike button mashing also.

I've been trying to think of an alternative to button mashing for ages (mainly for mining) None of the ideas were worth considering...

You push a buttion to activate the gani that shows you mining/praying... BUT it doesn't say "You pray over the alter...." It just shows you praying and when you stop, the gani stops. It only displays text that is useful, like enchantments, or relics, etc...

That auto-press-button program is called "Auto-D"

It's not assosiated with Graal in any way AND it doesn't effect the game itself. As stated, it simply makes the computer use the D button repeatedly until the program is closed. It can be used with any game.

That is not a solution to the problem. It is S T U P I D to make people do this. I never played any game at all that required to you hold or press a key for hours.

Why not have it so you press the buttom one time and it does the gani crap than it shows a status bar,for example(mining:-----) and it shows the status of the rock(like how much more it needs to be hit) and when the bar goes away the player stops and you get whatever was contained in the rock. This can be used as well for praying/blessing. Same concept just switch the script out a little bit
