I've used the same method on pc... holding down a key in order to maintain actions... but long ago. Within a few minutes I was click/dragged by an administrator. They can detect it... there's currently a band-aid fix in place with the 'are you still here' thing, but this kind of activity should be discouraged and punishable - it is detrimental to the game in general. People who are actively maintaining their idle position by holding down a button get banned/reset at times, so how come the farming is somehow reasonable?
And you can step off, Aguzo. You're the only one with an axe to grind here.
