Guild Wars 2

So I know the whole Arena Net stance on “macros” (or more specifically, custom keybindings), the jest of which is 1 button to 1 function, in other words you can’t have a whole Elementalist’s rotation bound to a single button, but you can have Utility Skill 7 bound to an additional button on a mouse.

But here’s the problem. I’m using Corsair Utility Engine for the Corsair Scimitar. Prior to this I used a Logitech G700s with no issues (aside from downloading and updating the Logitech Gaming Software).

The problem lies with the Utility Engine. I can bind the buttons and use them fine and all, but only with skills that do not use a targeting system. Basically, if I wanted to use Shadow Refuge, I can’t hold the additional mouse button down to show the AoE ring assuming you’re using that option for quick-casting of skills.

I’m able to make do by creating a “chained macro” if you will (before anyone starts raising flags, I didn’t use the “macro” in Guild Wars. I more or less spammed a Notepad with 6’s, 7’s, 8’s, and 9’s).

In other words, I created a macro that mimics only the presses of a single button. I have a button that, when pressed, starts a 2 part macro. Part 1 is pressing the key, part 2 is the release of the key. Part 2 only activates when I release the key I bound that “macro” to.

Now getting to the question at hand, is this a sort of gray area that, while technically violating their standards set, is overlooked/allowed?

And while I DO know there’s an option for “While Pressed”, it doesn’t do anything remotely what I had in mind. What it did was repeat the button press, so if you bound 4 to a button with that setting, it’ll keep pressing 4 until you let go. Not press and hold 4, but press 4, release 4, press 4, etc etkittenil you let go of the button you bound that to.
