haha not just click fraud, you can use it for good uses, like if you are required to be online for so long for one of your classes to read stuff over :) but I used my pc cause i couldn't find anything for a mac.

You could make a fairly simple AppleScript:

tell application "System Events"
delay 1
tell process "Safari"
click at {841, 155}
end tell
end tell

Set the delay and coordinates to whatever you want and add a repeat function in there somewhere.

Using "macros" outside of the provided game's available scripts usually violate the game's EULA. For example, my friend's account was banned from a game for using a macro program to move his pointer to a skill icon, click it, target something, click it, move one space, and repeat. I would be leery in whatever you're doing.

"Macro Magic" works well for this, however, I don't know if there is a Mac port available.
