is mouse Macro program against the rule?
The rule is that macro’s are okay if they follow the 1 keystroke 1 action rule.
However, did you know that an entry level artificer recipe allows you to combine essence of luck into large quantities? For example, you can combine 5 10’s to make a 50 and 4 50’s to make a 200 etc…
yeah the art helps but some time i save them all up and do a big savage and clicking 50+ exotic ones is still kinda make me wanna do a macro. also i plan on making some drink title which need a lot of drinks from karma npc which also help with a scroll macro.
If 1 keystroke = 1 action, its ok. Technically, binding mouse click to the scroll wheel thing is ok, too. Atleast, I never heard otherwise.
pressing a single button and then have it click 9000 times is not ok, obviously :P. Neither is if it clicks 2 times.
Edit: I have a button on my mouse that changes ‘presets’, which is basically a lot of keybinds and stuff. In one of my presets, Ijust set all keyboard buttons to left mouse click, and try to mash as many of them as I possibly can xD. It’s fun :P.
Before I had this mouse… I just grabbed a second mouse and let someone else click it for me. It was kind of weird. And usually, she saw it as a huuuuuuuge favour, so I had to do something huuuuuuuuge in return. Like buy chocolate :P

yeah i just want to be able to click the item and use the scroll mouse instead of clicking the item 100+ times. that way is easier to eat up the luck and savage stuff and drink karma items.
what about: hold down the ‘-’ key to mouse-click repeat. similar to scroll wheel, but a keyboard key instead. this sounds like something I’d want to do if I knew how, and it seems like it would be legal.

It’s unusual but I think it should be ok, as long as one ‘click’ of the mouse wheel acts as one click of the mouse button. So you still have to be sitting at the computer and using the mouse for anything to happen.
If you set it to somehow keep left-clicking until you stop it that wouldn’t be allowed because it would be a (very basic) form of botting.
As for software that allows you to do it I don’t know of any, it usually comes with the mouse. I would have thought it’d have to be specific to your mouse to work but I don’t know for sure.

yeah highend mouse has macro build it. i was just hope i can dl some program that do it so i can scroll mouse wheel and it counts as a click but very very fast. that way i can click on the stack of luck and just scroll instead of clicking for 250+ times.
Even the “double-click” should be considered as “one action”. Though, no gamging producer defines his rules as precisely as needed so they can always judge as their mood tells them.
ANet says “it should not give you advantages others don’t have”. Binding click to your mousewheel to click does give you advantage, but doesn’t violate the “one button one action” rule. Getting multiple persons/ mice to click for you, is the same.
What about taping four mice together so that you press one and get four clicks ? what’s the difference to getting three other people to click for you ? Or get a robot that clicks for you ?
Generally, the rules are those that the ANet representative working on your case says.
Ask yourself, are they going to know? lol
But in all seriousness, I believe it’s 1 keystroke 1 action rule.
I’ve had a discussion months ago (when i stopped playing the game cause of technical issues) and the verdict (from the GW2 support team) was that it’s fine as long as 1 button = 1 keypress.
Which means my hope to “auto nade” has been crushed long time ago hehe
(But really,having a macro that just spams 1 doesnt give you any advantage except saving your wrist from a very bad end.)
