Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Firstly, I’m sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums, or already asked. I did not find any information using the search option though.

My question:
I have made a simple macro that (left)clicks about 20 times in 1 second for the purpose of quickly “eating” essences of luck.
I have read elsewhere that only SOME macros are allowed:

“Gaile Gray.6028:
Macros
Guild Wars 2 players are permitted to use macros as long as the macros are programmed with a 1 key for 1 function protocol.
This means that if you program a macro, it must require one keystroke per action. You may not program a single key to perform multiple functions.
For example, if you Press A and it results in the casting of a single skill, you’re ok. If you Press A and it casts multiple spells, you’re not ok.”

So is this macro a 1 function protocol (only used to click), and so allowed.
Or is it multipe functions (clicks more than once (more than one “spell”)), and so not allowed?

Another thing I’m wondering is about player instruments.
Would it be allowed to “record” a song as macro, so it’s easy to replay?
I would assume it’s not, as when the instrument is unequipped, you would be casting spells instead… So just asking if it’s OK when used out of combat to make song playing easier (cheaty cheaty~).

Thanks in advance for any constructive answers, please do tell if my questions aren’t clear enough! <3

I know for a fact, the musical instrument macros are not allowed.

Not true. Gaile specifically stated music instrument macros are not against the rules:

As for auto clicking:

I am also wondering if this macro would be allowed.

>>>“I have made a simple macro that (left)clicks about 20 times in 1 second for the purpose of quickly “eating” essences of luck.”

I know for a fact, the musical instrument macros are not allowed.

Source please? Not sure where you are getting these facts from.

K, good to know about instruments.

as for the clicker, still unclear to me.

“You cannot program an “auto-clicker” macro that, for instance, opens chests while you play elsewhere. "

Especially the “while you play elsewhere” is untrue in my case, I can’t do anything else since my mousepointer has to be hovering over the luck i want to use.
(NB I want to use this macro to spare my fingers and mouse, all the clicking isn’t so great for you.)
