GW2 with gamepad
I use an Xpadder setup and an Xbox 360 controller.
Depending on what kind of character you play, it works quite well. If you plan to forgo your mouse entirely, i would avoid any classes that rely on targeted skills. Cursor movement with a gamepad is kinda wonky and slow.
There was a thread that had a link to a setup made specifically for GW2. I’d have to go digging to find it, though.
I use a Logitech G13 for all MMO’s and at this point, after using it the last three or so years, I can honestly say that I couldn’t /don’t want to ever play a game without it at this point. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Dreamy Abaddon plays with an Xbox controller, all professions. He has videos on YouTube, also posts in this forum, check the Players Helping Players section. Sadly, he haven’t disclosed his controller setup, but I’m intrigued.

Is it possible to play GW2 with gamepad? Is it convenient? Doesn’t it violate a user agreement?
How to do it? How to configure? Can someone share the optimal settings? Or smth… =3Speaking about this: have developers any plans to introduce full gamepad support? Suppose it’s not too convenient, but it could increase game rating or even play a crucial role in the choice of some people.

It’s a gamepad setup I made at launch and have been distributing since. It incorporates mouse turning, ground targeting, target marking and taking, camera zoom, and all skill functions, as well as map and map zoom.
Enjoy! (btw, Anet has OK’d gamepad use)
