Guild Wars 2

I know modding is legal. Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10a0qk/official_response_clarifying_the_stance_on_mods/

I still get a huge amount of trouble most days from suggesting people try basic things, like a colourblind mod, reduced/altered particle effects, weapon/armor reskin/recolours, video recording and screencapture tools, and alternative music players.

So, I’d like it if a Dev could give the official stance right now, and then maybe sticky this someplace, so that people will know they won’t be banned for being colourblind and changing the colours of hard to see effects, or for making gameplay videos, or for running a lightweight music player, instead of -nosound and iTunes hogging your resources.

This is the official third party program policy: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Policy-Third-Party-Programs/first#post354869

This is the most you’re getting. They won’t say anything more specific; they won’t vet specific applications.

Ooh, I completely forgot that was there…

It’s in a really wierd spot that I don’t think most players ever really read. Guess I can simply link it to everyone who flames and scares people, but it would be nice if they could throw it up in a more commonly visited forum…

You posted a link to official response and ask them official response?

Even if they wanted to ban you for such “mod” they would need to be sitting next to you and look at your screen to even know you use them.

I remember this topic coming up with the SweetFX mod. Anet wont give an official ‘OK’ for a mod but as long as it doesn’t give a player an advantage over other players then the mod should be fine.

Something like a colourblind mode is something that Anet needs to work on. Because those tiny red circles can be a kitten to see if you’re colourblind.
