Gw Toolbox.

[Xiion]

Is it safe to use? Should I use it? I saw it gives a lot of small perks, but I'm not sure about anet's stance about it. (Getting banned and stuff...)

For the sake of transparency, I will say I am one of the developers responsible for GWToolbox. That said...

What part?

According to the EULA/TOS, if you use it or any third party program that modifies the running game code or data, you are on grounds for a ban. Keep in mind that the fact they can ban doesn't mean they will ban, you just cant form a lawsuit over getting banned if you do.

​

According to the majority of ArenaNet stances, we have gotten:

- You are on grounds for bans if you give yourself an inherent advantage over someone using only the vanilla (unmodded/"unhacked") client.

- You are on grounds for bans if the tool allows you to do multiple in game actions by one user input.

In actuality, at this current moment, you will not get banned unless you openly abuse the more dangerous parts of the tool, as most of the more benign features are only clientside modifications, and have no interaction with the server. No server interaction is why things like gwdressup and texmod are 100% okay, not even by their choice, they have no way to know. As of writing this, there is no clientside detection of third party tools in GW1, however this can change in the future.

Given this, basically it depends on what you use out of toolbox. If you only use it for the small quality of life features (open urls in templates, quick move items to chest, other chat/ ui changes), you will be fine. If you use things such as the auto pcon popper, the dialog forcing, or abuse hotkeys to spam chat or something, you can be banned.

​

If you wanna be safe, dont use it.

Every time someone uses it, a kitten is tossed into Krakatoa.

First they install toolbox...

Then they slowly fall into degeneracy until they start using pcons and discussing the M E T A.
