Guild Wars 2

Will using a macro program, such as the one that came with my mouse, get me banned if I set up macros to switch gear sets/utility skills? I did this in Diablo 3 no problem and a lot of other games. I wanted to see what the real answer is so I figured I’d post here. Basically just having a macro that opens my bag, moves my mouse and equips all my gear in the blink of an eye. Is this ban material?

I am afraid this is a borderline case and would really like to hear more from Anet on this.

Personally I would still find this as an acceptable use of macros. After all it can be only used out of combat and if used mid combat can cause more problems than what it helps out of combat.

As such in my opinion it doesn’t give any unfair advantage to the player, it only offloads a tedious task from the player to the macro program.

Still it’s borderline as it encroaches a lot more toward botting than say using a macro to take hud-less screenshots (what alt-printscreen was used for in the past).

Hi DoM.

The use of 3rd Party apps (such as the one you mention) is forbidden and punished in GW2. Please, refraim from making use of them.
