Guild Wars 2

Helloooo! I barely post here, but I am quite curious about this.

Just got the unbreakable bell last night and was really excited. Found a thread on reddit that showed all the songs people found out how to play and I was like,“Wow! I could record my keystrokes with my g15 keyboard and then save them to a button, so whenever I want to play Song of Time I just have to equip the bell and press the button!”

Just curious if this violates the TOS in any way because I really love this game but I don’t want to get banned for something that might possibly make me look like I’m botting or something, even though I’m just playing a bell song.

The only reason I’m unsure of this is because I’ve read about other people using 3rd party programs like a automatic clicker on their mouse to open 6,000 wintersday gifts (otherwise, that’s a hell of a lot of clicking) for example and they haven’t been banned yet.

Sorry if this seems silly to ask, but I thought I’d make sure. Would hate to get that lucky getting a bell and then have my account banned.

Thanks

It seems you do not understand what you are reading. They will never give an official ok on something like this. You are on your own.

I would not risk it.

If they catch u using it, im sure they will not check what u were doing at that time. And “I was playing the bell” prob wont cut it. Dont forget it could also be used as anti-afk so i dont think it would be legal (even if u dont use it long enough to be anti-afk purpose). But yeah i totally understand where you are coming from, it would be fun =)

PS: Offtopiv but is the bell bind on equip? OR can u move it around ur diff toons after u use it on one?

Not sure how they’d know you were playing it real or macroing. Just assuming that anybody playing the bell really well must be macroing is plain downright wrong. Those kinds of stereotypes should be frowned upon.

It’s not bind on equip, so you can definitely use it on anyone you want as many times as you’d like.

The reason I can’t figure out an answer is that when I look at the thread for third-party programs they have and read this, my scenario doesn’t fall under any of these;

“The best way for a player to assess whether a specific third-party program could have any impact on another player or a PvP opponent is to ask:
• “Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”
• “Does this program allow someone to ‘play’ when he/she is not at the computer?”
• “Does this program allow the user to gain undeserved rewards?” "

Also, saw this too in their thread

“If you choose to use what you believe to be a “benign,” or non-advantage-giving program, be sure to get it from a legitimate source to protect yourself from the possible addition of cheats or key-loggers.”

So I dunno.

Tks darkheart, ill actually equip the unbreakable i have then =) I hope you get an official response =)

I’d say it allows you to play when not at your computer (hit the key and walk away while the bell makes music). But really, the real problem is if the macro detection software can’t tell you have a bell versus a weapon. If the detection code thinks you have macroed a weapon, it will flag your account. Why risk it?

I’m still hoping for an official response on this though, as much as that link helps. That link talks about programs that give you an advantage over people, can play while you’re not at the computer, or even cheating, but a bell macro doesn’t do that at all.

I mean the bell only lasts 1 minute, so you can’t walk away from your computer or anything.

I’m just really hoping for an official response is all

Well I mean, best to try and see what happens yeah?

Unfortunately I think you may be right.

Oh well, no bell macro =/

Guess you get the best answer.
