Guild Wars 2

With the new released HoT, it has been discovered that you can gain quick exp using boosters and going the the dungeon Citadel of Flame to farm infinite spawning minions, and ANet has said they are fine with this. I was wondering what the rules on non-advantage granting macros are. I have pain in my left hand (sorry to play this card :<) and a razor keyboard. I want to get it to just push ‘1’ every 2 seconds while I do normal things, such as move and pop more spawns. Is this allowed if I use this macro every couple of minutes to relieve the pain in my hand?

Just turn on action combat and wrap a rubber band around your left mouse button

The general macro policy is and has always been 1 button = 1 action. However, I can see how this could fall into a grey area of botting. I would comb through the ToS for a relevant lead, and wait for a response from dev.

I’m looking specifically at the ruling on the instruments. It seems the policy is enforced when you gain an advantage or having it do things for you that require you to do nothing for it to function.

Of course, I can see if ANet says no and I’ve been a player since the original beta, and I’m more than happy to comply with ANet’s rulings. It’s just my hands cramp easily and right now mindless farming is king.

Edit: Oof, english.

And I can see a nerf coming for this CoF “exploit” to level masteries. And that’s the subtle option. The most extreme I would imagine is a time out and loss of mastery levels obtained by this method.

There has already been a Twitter post by Anet to this question, short and simple is that it appears to be legit. I’m to lazy to link but look in the “HOT” sub-forum for the topic.
