Guild Wars 2

Hello GW2 and hopefully Gaile,

I have a very specific question regarding a doubleclick macro which I was hoping to have answered. I love GW2 more than this macro and would like to avoid any trouble. My question is this: I have downloaded a program (which very clumsily appears as doubleclick.exe!) which allows me to doubleclick once when i press f7 once. Does this fall within or without the jurisdiction of the one click one function rule?

Basically, is a single doubleclick a single action?

Thank you.

I would not chance it. ArenaNet have been pretty clear in their statements on macros.

I would agree, however I’m unsure of the semantics if a doubleclick, which for example, puts one item in the mystic forge (with one keyboard press) would be an illegal action. I’m at the computer, one item is moved with one click, and the click appears at my mouse pointer which I am actively pointing. I’m hoping for some clarification.

Thanks for the bump I hope we hear definitively.

double click requires 2 actions from your hand. If you use something that allows you to do one action to get 2 responses in return, that gives you an advantage over other players. Don’t do it.

I guess I’ll cease and desist unless we hear otherwise. Thanks for the advise.

Does anyone else wonder how safe that program is. Some random EXE file downloaded from the internet could very easily have a keylogger/trojan attached to it.

Definitely a risk. I didn’t want to use anything with more robust functionality since I’m trying to play by the rules.

about 4 months ago, I was working on the thirsty achievement. Spent the 700k karma needed. And found the amount of clicking was insane. I sent a ticket regarding using a double click program. I sent the ticket as I wanted an answer from anet. Fearing I could lose my account if I used it.
I don’t remember word for word what it said. But in the end. It was very nicely put. That I should not. It was also put. If I did use it. They could not guarantee it would not result in a perm ban.
Any third party program, any activity that gives a benefit that is not obtainable through normal playing could be banned. Any activity that shortcuts regular game funtions.
Now trust me. I very much wanted to use it. But did not. All it takes is once and you could lose all you have done.

Thank you, I wish I came across your thread in my searching.
