Mokoshakar.1436 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I just got the suspension too, and i was using reshade, Taco and yolomouse. I dont think my mouse ( logitech g600 ) keybinds could be the problem since im using them for a long time. I dont know what trigger the suspension, i hope i get the awnser with the support.

Yes they said that. But now lets see what that build template addon does. You do one click and that addon performs a whole series of actions for you, like changing traits, gear, stats, runes etc. So that should be illegal by that definition. But as illconceived said, there a probably more than 1.6k people using this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, I agree. That implies there's no possibility of error. And, on a practical basis, offers them no wiggle room if they want to adjust things in a particular case. On the other, also on a practical basis, I believe that I've seen the same disclaimer used during every publicly-reported mass-suspension/ban. And yet they've always ended up willing to discuss _some_ of the cases. (If someone reading this plans to appeal, be sure to be as gracious and diplomatic as possible. Make it easy for them to make an exception. I can't guarantee they will, but you lose little beyond your time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine that perhaps Arc modified a memory address it wasn't supposed to by accident, or perhaps Anet's measurements are off. I hope that they have competent people working on automated detection algorithms, and that something a bit sturdier than simply doing a processlist scan, flagging a "suspicious tool running alongside GW2" is required for them to move forward. Nevertheless, if I'm understanding Gaile right, they are investigating, and whilst that investigation lasts, no appeals will be handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Crysis.1934 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This is a joyous day! I don't think we should have tac0, if A-Net wanted us to have a tactical overlay they would give us one.

That would make my warnings from few months ago so true now. That would contradict the greenlight from Chris a while back. Don't forget that Arc not only is a DPS meter, but also substitutes templates. Based on what I'm reading so far, I'm guessing its something with Arc, or maybe a Windows update, or other tool (maybe anti-virus?) interfering with the game. Maybe Tribulation markers for TacO from Tekkit (official content creator, right?) which I used are not allowed, either? There's too many people saying they are innocent. Something is a bit off, but hey that's just me. Honestly, if I'm wrong, they can name and shame me all they want, but this is my story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make my warnings from few months ago so true now. Given the amount of people use it, including those who make guides (SnowCrow, Dulfy etc), I don't think a player warning beforehand would do justice. Especially since ANet give it a clear go on specific aspect after long negotiations and questions. Would at least be an official warning beforehand. Ofc these are assuming if arcdps doesn't get invasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have one that I started using shortly after PoF came out, that mount wheel one, where it gives you a radial and when you select it, it fires the related key bind you have associated with that mount. That seems very 1-to-1 to me. Technically, I'm doing 'two' actions to get a single action accomplished. I sure hope that is okay. I've never updated it since I originally downloaded it, so if it was okay originally but then is changed so it's illegal, I wouldn't have that piece. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
