I’m thinking of challenging myself with some double PC-setup gaming. I’m ambidexterous, that is I can write using either left or right hand – same goes for using mice.
getting 2x http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga (can you suggest something similar to it? the more buttons the better for my case!), 1 for each hand(They even have both left- and right-handed versions, how nice!)
Of course, I’m also considering purchasing a 2nd copy of guild wars 2 to play at the same time. I’m already thinking about the crazy stuff I could do as a 2manteam(and cringing, since I won’t be able to apply legendaries and fancy stuff I already have to a 2nd account), though the difficulty of mastering such a setup is considerable!
So, because I’m not bothered with looking through the terms of service, can you tell me whether it’s completely alright(or not) to do something like that?
I’ve also been considering footmice… I think it would be a lot of fun to engage in gaming using both your hands and feet fully!

Why wouldn’t it be? Accounts are limited to one person, not the other way around.

There is the blah blah language about exploiting advantages, I can’t see how you could do anything better than a single toon player and if you can then that should be memorialized. Anet could actually make mileage with something like that I think, highlighting the intuitiveness of the UI.

my vision of this: swivel chair, 120 degree desktop setup and a pair of fragpedals would probably allow you to be effective on two at once using only a mouse. But you’d have to be like one of those one-man-band musicians that can play a symphony using duct tape, baling wire and salvaged instruments. Maybe you can. I’d love to see it.

I used to play with someone who play 2 accounts to do cof speed runs. He was actually able to do it quite good.

I’m not sure how he send signals to 2 different screen though.

Anet’s have a policy of 1 signal 1 output. So you can’t press the w key and have both of your accounts move at the same time. You have to control them separately. For example press w to move 1 character forward and use the mouse to move your other character at the same time.

Controlling 2 character at the same time is very difficult to do due to Anet’s policy.

That’s the point of having 2 mice at once with 19+ buttons on each :-)

Nothing wrong with it as long as it is 1 action per 1 key press. Two mice controlling two characters is fine, but you could NOT for instance have a single keyboard linked to both accounts as that would go against the macroing policy.
