Can you use mods?

Game Rules 8 and 20 state :

8. You may not modify any part of the Guild Wars 2 client or server software. Also, you may not modify any part of the official Guild Wars 2 websites, other than the official Guild Wars 2 Wiki in accordance with its terms and conditions.

20. You may not use any third-party program (such as a “bot”) in order to automate gameplay functions, including playing, chatting, interacting, or gathering gold or items within Guild Wars 2. You may not assist, relay, or store gold or items for other players who are using these processes.

Speculation :

Rule 8 basically states (in the way I see it, others seem to read it differently) that I can not mod any part of the client or the server software. Sure, so this means I cannot go into the game files themselves and alter them in any way, nor use a program that would allow me to do so actively (a hack client). However I feel that this leaves the possibility for third party programs to be used.

Now of course I cant just use ANY third party program, if that program were to (according to rule 20) automate game functions, then it would not be allowed.

Conclusion(?) :

Now all rules considered, they have clearly stated that I cannot alter the game files, and I cant use third party programs that automate my game. What about third party programs that do not alter game files? Overlays? That sort of thing.

Also as a more direct question for any admin that MIGHT read this, without naming any names of programs or where to get them, first person camera mods. All the ones I have found seem to add an extended camera option (see more) which I would agree is hack-status, but what about JUST first person, assuming that one of those programs exists.
