Yeah this has nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with the fact that with this third party app (the keyboard is hardware and maybe the macro logic is too, so you are getting grey but you can get stand alone apps that will do the same thing, make it so that you press the y key and it will do a whole bunch of instructions and that is a 3rd party app) was letting him "play" the game while AFK.
The only thing he needed to do was get a veriable speed motor and spend a minute or two setting it up so that it would hit whatever key (or even keys) he wanted it to hit and skill up his weapons while he was in another room or out to the store, or what not. This can easily be simulated through software as well if you don't want the external mechanical addition and you could even have some randomness too it.
Sure it's a pretty benign use of 'unfair play' but it is unfair play none the less. Linux had nothing to do with it and if the guy can't see that, oh well.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
