Ok BOT Policy is clear, How about scripts? - Guild Wars Forums

I know GW has very strict and clear rules when it comes to BOTS. My question is where is the line drawn? Are simple combined actions ok?

For instance, there are several game controllers that allow programming of simple macros, like the nostromo speedpad etc.

So if I use these functions to say run groups of skills that work well together, like with my ranger, a key to trigger serpents quickness, kindle arrows, attack target, dual shot then power shot, is this in violation of GWs BOT policy?

Yeah exactly that, on my nostromo I just go to the setup app and record a sequence of keys like TAB SPACE 1 2 3 4 .... etc etc then loop untill the key is pressed again. After inserting the appropriate delays to manage health and energy you can pretty much sit back and watch the fights happen, takes a bit of the grind away from the boring "no brain" fights, then for more challenging missions and sets I take full control.

BTW Did everyone notice that they disable the follow target command (T in default keys setup) and there is no way to fix that that i know?

Yeah, i noticed them screwing with T. You now have to hit the spacebar to achieve the same thing. Is there any chance to get back the old target calling?
