  1. Anet told me to post to the forums. This is the first line of my post:
  2. Macros are allowed. The problem is that there's a grey area on what they consider an action. These questions were posted to the forums as requested in a response to my ticket. Things that are automated or exploit a game mechanic is what they are banning for. If they consider extracting items for profit as exploiting a game mechanic, then so be it. It wasn't made clear what they considered exploiting a game mechanic in the response. The reason why the use cases I posted were posted is because if each of those steps is to be considered a separate action, then I can separate out those functions into separate keypresses just fine. If its considered that the action is extracting a single item or salvaging a single item, then a keypress to do that is fine. It's not made clear what is ok or not. If each step is to be considered a separate action, then there's some Blishhud modules that people need to be warned to not use as some of those follow the exact same processes. It would be nice if they would just add an Extract All function to the Extractor like they added the Salvage All functions to the salvage kits. A Salvage All Exotics function would also be nice. My support ticket specifically warned about macros with the intent for automation / exploiting a game mechanic. If the issue was just macros being used for automation, then the comment about exploiting a game mechanic wouldn't have needed to be mentioned. So something in the use cases I sent to Anet is considered exploiting a game mechanic (or was just included as part of a normal response). Again, that's the question being asked. Are those considered multiple actions? Is it considered an action just went there's a game state change ie an item was extracted or is it just the act of moving your mouse? As for what macros are allowed, their general policy is "Attended macro use is permitted as long as it is not exploitative, and as long as it does not provide the user with an unfair advantage over other players. Unattended macro use is prohibited under any circumstances." from Policy: Macros and Macro Use – Guild Wars 2 Support Addons like Blishhud have a lot of different macros build into their modules so if its a case that things like moving your mouse and clicking your mouse are all considered separate actions, then some of the Blishhud modules either need to not be used or how they are used needs to be modified to require multiple keypresses.
  3. I am posting these questions to the forums as requested by a response from a support ticket. The following examples are some use cases that I would like some clarification on. Would a macro that follows these actions to extract a single item be allowed or is this considered multiple actions? 1. move mouse to item 2. hold left mouse button down 3. drag item to extract window 4. release left mouse button 5. move mouse to extract button 6. click extract button. I have an extract macro that when I hit a button, it extracts whatever item my mouse is hovering over using the above sequence. Do these need to be separated into separate key presses to be compliant with your macro policy? Am I allowed to chain that process to extract multiple items or does it need to be a separate key for each item? Is this considered exploitive to extract multiple items quickly as there is no Extract All option on the extractor? edit: Besides the question of what is considered an action, is using the extractor on items to make extra profit on an item considered exploiting a game mechanic? This is being done since the masterwork item can be then sold or salvaged and the upgrade can then also be sold or salvaged. Another example would be a macro used to salvage exotics. Since there is no Salvage All function for exotics like there is for rares, the sequence would look like this: 1. Move mouse to silver fed salvage o matic 2. Double click silver fed 3. Move mouse to item 4. Click item 5. Move mouse to confirm button 6. Click confirm button. I have a salvage macro that when I hit a button, it salvages whatever item my mouse is hovering over using the above sequence. Do these need to be separated into separate key presses to be compliant with your macro policy? Am I allowed to chain that process to salvage multiple items or does it need to be a separate key for each item? Is this considered exploitive to salvage multiple exotics quickly as there is no Salvage All Exotics option on the salvage o matics? The main question at hand is what's considered an "action" by the macro policy posted here: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013762153-Policy-Macros-and-Macro-Use. Are mouse movements considered an action or is the action that is occurring that an exotic was salvaged? This has been a question running among the community for a while now which has led to what is an action being considered a grey area. As most players will probably agree, we are trying to avoid doing things that will result in actions against our accounts.
  4. Is it possible to get a refund on items to create legendaries? I was in the process of making 30 legendary runes and 56 legendary sigils. This sounds like it would be pointless to continue with that now but now I'll be stuck with the Gifts.
