I heard a lot people lock buttons on keyboard to do achievements for one thousand or million steps on the snow, on the fire or under water. I've heard rumors about people who were removed by doing this.

For example this post from 2017:

https://www.tibia.com/forum/?action=thread&threadid=4565722&pagenumber=2

Ferexarus said: "Your information is about 7 years old. CIP stated on the tutor forums less than a month ago that any deletions that were a result of blocking keys on the keyboard would not be overturned because the game is meant to be played manually."

Post from forum and answer is from 2017 so is pretty old but I see still a lot of people talk about this way.

So my question is: Is a locked button on keyboard legal or holding down a key with an object, legal in Tibia?

I have done and I was not punished for doing.

The Game is meant to be played manually, but you are not using any external program or macro to play it. No one can knows if it is you pressing the  Burton of the keyboard or something you put on It to lock It..

So Maybe It is not legal, but It is neither illegal.

I would say that if you are in front of computer it would be ok, but if u lock it and leave it's possible to you to receive a punishment, this can be considered as a macro. But looking at Tibia Rules I didn't find anything specific about it. That's the thing that is hard to discover because what's the difference betwen I hold a button and a stone pressing it? Macro u have a sequence of a group ao commands executed at same period of time, but lock  botton they don't have a pattern.

So there is a legal gap for this, since It is not "legal" because tibia was made to be played manually, but It is neither ilegal since no-one can know if it is you holding the key ir not

I asked this question through a support ticket as there doesn't seem to be anything recent about this being discussed on the website-

"Holding down a key with a heavy object does not violate any Tibia rule. If there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know." -Kind regards, Leomax

So yes, this means for achievements like walking on fire, underwater, snow, you can have an object help you, and not using your fingers is perfectly fine.
