Can you actually lag macro like in the old days?
I didn't think that was possible, because even though it's classic wow, it's still built on the new, pre-existing framework,
and since lag macro'ing hasn't been a thing for ages and ages on retail, I would assume the same for classic?
Unless you're all just talking about lag7.

Yep, probably Lag7.

Lag7 is a program you can be permanently banned for using.
From what I remember hearing it's name comes from the maximum number of seconds you can lag before the server disconnects you. Presumably they hit a hotkey to "start lagging" and then either 7~ seconds or when they hit a hotkey for "stop lagging" it ends. While lagging they should stand still or continue same course and speed, I can't remember which. When it ends the server gets the new coords and places them there.
I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard automatically detects both the program Lag7 and / or consistently lagging from generally low latency connections. One day very likely Blizzard will just ban them during a ban wave, that's my guess.

Lag Macro works on classic but same as retail useless in around 99% of situations. Just drops ur FPS causes ur screen to freeze lets u juke people off the side easier coz ur char would 'teleport' below for a brief second before ending up back up because of the FPS lag.
Lag 7 also works on classic this is probably what the person is using; makes everyone around you look like they're running on the spot. You continue moving on your screen.
Hypothetical; You're on Roof you use lag 7. Everyone will see you running on the spot on roof. But on your screen you might be out ramp, once the 6-7 seconds has passed you will teleport to ramp on everyones screen in 'actual' time.
You can also use it to extend speed buffs.
Hypothetical; You have boots from tun, its about to run out, you use lag 7 so you keep boots for another 6-7 seconds. You're running on the spot for everyone but yourself. You keep going like you've had boots because technically you've had them for 6-7 seconds longer. It looks like you teleported from bottom of tun -> alliance ramp.
(If you do it for more than 6-7 seconds it causes you to fully lag out and you have to relog).

My computer back in '06 was a toaster, so I could lag macro by making a macro that spammed /chicken ten times. Press the macro 5 times, and I'd be lagging for 10 seconds.
In Westfall, levelers would chase my hunter they somehow couldn't hit that kept calling them a chicken. Meanwhile my pet ate them to death.
