since we know that Anet doesn't consider the G15 macro keys against the eula, post your useful macros. I will start with one i made and really find helpful.
add person to party: basically all you do is click on persons name in the chat box and hit macro key, voila, person is invited to party.
macro function
tab
ctrl c
tab
/invite
space
ctrl v
enter
quick and easy

All macro keys have it assigned to them right now. So in times of trouble I can quickly slap my hand on the macro keys and save my Survivor. Sadly it's not lag-proof, and I got spiked by a Jade Brotherhood mob during a brief period of lag yesterday. While I logged out on my screen, apparently the server thought I was still there for another 10 seconds or so, and for some reason my heroes decided not to heal me. So rerolled the character.

As an aside the safest way to evacuate a survivor is to map to the GH.
Do we have an official statement on the use of the G15 and it's macro able Ilk? I don't remember seeing one.

I'd recommend macroing Ctrl+Shift+Space for calling in pvp.

Hello Charles,
No problem at all. Thats why we are here!

Hello Charles,
The macros people get banned for are programs they run to fully automate characters. The 'macro' keys on the G15 would just basically be buttons you press instead of pressing something on the screen. You should have no problems with using the keyboard.
Feel free to contact us again if you have any other questions however.

I have recently purchased a Logitech G15 Keyboard, which has macro keys down the left hand side. After reading that some MMO's band people for using macros, I have been afraid to use these macro keys in Guild Wars.
Is it acceptable to use the macro keys to set up emotes and use the built in Guild Wars profile options??
Many Thanks

I've been using Macros for very long now as a quick skill bar.
Now if we could use this applet without getting banned...
PlayNC says it's okay:
Thank you for contacting Guild Wars Support. We have no issue with the display of information so long as you do not modify, adapt, reverse engineer or decompile the Guild Wars client, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the client when creating the applet.
But then again Arena Net can be trigger happy with banning when data from GW.exe gets pulled into another .exe

Is the g15 more limited? How many events can it chain? Can it loop the script?
$neekie
Macro s should be banned and stay banned,imo. To much crap going on with FPS(there allowed but fround upon,lool, help with aiming anybody?) already.
People get waaay to creative with these little scripts, althoug every new mouse,board, stick, pad, ect has em. Tuff subject, to me they take the skill out of gaming(in general).

The most complicated macro on my G15 is ctrl+shift+space. Calling targets without attacking is much more pleasant with that one button.

anyway, most of my keys are just dance and all other funky emotes, best part is having /dance * on a key so you can count to 3 and press it at the same time for those people that want to sync dance.
KiyaKoreena
/dance
/wave
ctrl+alt
/resign
During the Mad King events I had the responses mapped in.
I used to have my log-ins on there but since my son tried telling all the henches and heros my secrets I decided that isn't such a good idea for now.
It's also good for things you frequently call out in guild chat or questing.

but u already have buttons for pick up items and stuff?
isamu kurosawa
ive not yet got g15 keyboard but i do have a razer diamondback 3g mouse with buttons set to auto target+pickuploot and to open my inventory.
I have tried a ctrl+alt setup but the mouse only allows use as a click rather than holding down ctrl+alt resulting in npc names flashing on then off.

Only way I can see the guy getting the info for that applet is either a proxy (illegal) or reading memory locations (illegal).
flyinhigh
support said its ok, cuz its info that is already available and your not decompiling /reverse engineering the client.
flyinhigh
hmm, differing answers from the same support, That hasn't happened before

So does anyone have an email on anet's offical stances on the macro keys?
cause if they don't care, that opens up a lot of possibilities that 99% of players don't even know about >.>

Hi ****
Thank you for contacting Guild Wars Technical Support.
Our all the games can use the G15 as a normal keyboard, but do not support the use of the extra features such as the macro keys or the display. Exception to this Auto Assault supports the full use of the Logitech® G15 keyboard, including the LCD and the extra buttons.
Also, we would like to inform you that Logitech® G15 keyboard hotkeys isn't going to get your account banned.
Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Anyway, Support can't be trusted on this matter because half the team says you'll get banned the other half says you won't.

Anyway -- hint for the GW2 devs. Why not a DLL that allows us to access "non-cheating" information such as gold, xp etc that we could then use for G15 applets?

There's macros out there for all kinds of things. For example, power-leveling drunkard. And even some farming macros.... Note that in some other big MMO, people did get their accounts terminated for macroing using programmable keyboards.
Simply put - if you make your character do something nasty, G15, some macro tool, or by pressing the keys, you're equally in trouble.
For emotes or such one-time tasks however it's fine.

I'm not affiliated with ArenaNet, but if the setup program allows stringing together keypresses and delays, then you've got all you need to make a simple farmbot.
I'd be careful about what kinds of macros I created and used with a device like that, because in all probability it's the nature of the macro, not the device, which determines if it might be illegal & bannable in Guildwars.

Only ones I use is 3 of the side buttons for hero flags (so that way I don't have to move my hand to 3 seperate keys on the keyboard). And I was too lazy to move around certain keys just to unbind new ones.
flyinhigh
ok i am currently in a very long conversation support, and their stance is that "quick macros" as in they are only a few keystrokes long, and need human input each time to accomplish it are perfectly ok. pulling information from memory and displaying it the lcd screen is ok as long as it is available to the player another way. Now what is not allowed, fully automation of character with the macro, also if the macro self repeats, you will get banned for having a bot. for the LCD, displaying information that would not be available to the player another way, as in "what a foe is going to drop"
by the way, took nearly a week to get em to put specifics on this. slippery bastages

All my logins are automated, as well as every emote in the game, and a few key sayings I use. Also have /RESIGN on there, and /rank. <3 G15.
Ah, yes, I also have Tainted Necro keybind.
Something like.
Numpad 1
1
Numpad 2
2
Numpad 3
3
Etc. It goes down party list and casts Tainited on them, starting with 1 and ending with 8. Handy in HA/GvG at start of match. Timing is kept into account.
