Q:

Hello,i am deciding about buying the GW2’s mouse…but i’ve read that using macros is a bannable offence :s

I’ve seen in a review of the mouse,that it comes with a software to configure it,with already some GW2 macros in it! So it would be pretty stupid to sell what you shouldn’t use :s

I’m asking this because i’ve decided to play the engineer…but spamming grenades becomes painful after some time,so my idea was to bind the 1 key to one of the GW2’s mouse’s extra buttons,just to save my finger.

Is it allowed?
If no,why do GW2 sell custom gaming equipment that would allow to beark their own rules? And why would they already include macros in there?

edit
I’ll be more clear: my idea is to bind my mouse’s extra button to “spam” 1,let’s say every 0.2 seconds,so i could use the grenade kit without destroying my finger.

Binding isn’t really a macro. A macro I would think could be frowned upon is binding a whole rotation to 1 button. Binding won’t give you an unfair advantage as everybody has the option of doing it.

Indeed u can bind whatever u want on ur mouse as long u don’t automate the gameplay u can do whatever u want. What u can’t do is to create a macro to auto farm in 1 spot or something like that. But u can even create macros to use 2 skills with the same button for example, yes it is a hardware advantage, u pay for it, u are supposed to take advantage of it as long u don’t automate ur game.

a 500$ Video card is better and give u the edge over a 70$ one, is the same with keyboards, mouse headsets, expensive ones will give u the edge, otherwise they would sell the whole game along with a standard hardware to play it don’t u think?

I mean to bind a macro to a key…Of course i don’t want a bot to farm something,what i’m interested to is a button that spams 1,so i would use it with the grenade kit to avoid my finger’s execution :x
