Will i get banned if i use Auto-clicker?

ive got 8800 minutes of alcohol to consume(lvl 1 only), but i do not want to spend it in real life too(hate grinding titles) so ive decided to google something like an auto-clicker. found one, downloaded it, works perfect, clicks every 1 minute, everything nice .

My question is: Will i get banned if i use Auto-clicker?

An auto-clicker is a program that automates aspects of gameplay. The EULA defines this as a bot, and disallows it. If you are caught using this auto-clicker, ANet reserves the right to ban your game account permanently and without notice.

My opinion? Not worth the risk.

Anet has the right to ban you for anything and nothing.


I wouldn't risk it.

Suck it up. I am at 6.7K drunkard points and I have been working on it slowly for quite some time. I just drink whenever I am playing PvE. It is a grind title and if you don't want to grind it then don't get it.

some people have lives

technically ANET can ban you. use at own risk.

Then go for an eaiser title, durr.

Many people have done this. It's probably not something that would raise alot of attention, but I don't work for Anet and can't say for sure. Sounds risky to me. This is one title I will never do for the exact same reason, 10000 min of clicking every minute would suck.

i need to be drunk to click to get druk i guess.
go for sweet tooth, you can just click and you dont have to wait 1 min.
and get sweet tototh in GW and drunkard in real life

I'm in a similar situation at the moment, i just bought the whole drunkard title in spiked eggnogs, but i have to consume all of it. I know anet can ban for it, and it's not like I can just avoid this title, as I HOPE to get GWAMM. I just got a 3 min timer applet from one of the nice ppl here on guru that beeps every 3 mins, and i just take another spiked eggnog. I know the timer is not against the eula, because it does not interact with the game in any way.

In fact, im pretty sure the guy who sold me the alc was hinting at giving me an auto clicker (he asked if i had a chat service like xfire, and said he had something to get it done while i was sleeping). Apparently he used one.

In my opinion, at 23 maxed titles, a few fow sets, chaos gloves, etc..., and a prior offense on my account (cursed out some idiot), I wouldn't risk it. Besides, over the winter break, if i use my timer and just hang around my laptop alot, I should get about 3/4 of the way there :*(

u can
but imo u most likely wont
unless someone reports u

but aksing (telling) ppl bout it here on guru will more likely get u reported

personally im not teh type to snitch...especially when it comes to sumptin harmless like this
hfff was waaay more harmful because its almost the same as bot farming for gold

Does it make a difference if you are at the computer at the same time and not afking?

I remember reading that thread, but can't find it now, link would be awesome :]

yep so you should uninstall it now before you get n more trouble.

human input may interfere wit the automated input

however, in this case, a user may chat in gw while the auto-clicker runs
tho he may not alt+tab to different programs for too long

this will very likely mask the bot-like actions of the logs and may reduce the risk of getting banned

I heard there's a way to drink the 5-pointers and then zone/rezone and get all 3 points pretty much instantly.

I once left town while drinking (forgot I was at 5 singles), and in the next town I got 3 points.

So it's possible to speed it up this way - look for infos, it's out there somewhere...

We don't believe the method works any more now that a.net has fixed a "bug". I really wish they'd make drunkard like sweet tooth, drink x levels of drunkard to achieve title. Make it the exact same number as 10k minutes but just let us click like sweet tooth title. Would be easy to code and transfer x number of minutes as x alcohol levels.

@coney
i believe that glitch was fixed in the big skills update of this month
but i could be wrong

it was fixed. you could drink and zone then drink again, but since the update you need to wait the whole time.

well i didnt get banned...maybe just luck

^fixed Announcing it on a forum devs actually read(even if not often) is also not your brightest move.

Yes, but then, this title isn't meant for them.

I actually got that glitch by accident, today. Drank a Spiked Eggnog > went to Secret snowman dungeon and I got 3 minutes (one time even 5 minutes...) added.

I'm pretty sure of this because after I *thought* it happened the first time I tried again and it worked.

So yeah.

I highly doubt they would take action over something said over an unofficial forum. However, if you are barraged by a bunch of complaints/questions in game over the topic, something may slip.

So, why even go for a title that you know is going to take tons of time to get?
Brilliant, but your first mistake
second mistake
third mistake
nice till a hacker gets your password from the keyloggers you could have just downloaded.
I think this is the least of your worries just yet. Probably should do a system scan then scan again. Possibly run a virus scan while your at it after you update. And after you do all of that, and if you got lucky and didn't get a key logger, yes, you can get banned for such a program if anet was to find out somehow.

And people wonder how they get hacked.
I can see you posting a month down the road about how you got hacked and you never downloaded any thing etc. etc.

Announcing that you have an illegal program and asking if it's safe to use it? I think the thread has said all it needs to say. DON'T USE IT. It's too risky for you.

So why grind a game title in a game that you can only show in that game?

I think people need to qq to a.net to change the drunkard title. It is the only title that basically requires a bot like process to be afk 10,000 minutes. Change it to you need to drink x amount of alcohol. Spiked and other level 5s get 5 points, level 1s get 1 point. Make it the same amount of levels required as 10k minutes. Which is like 3,333 lvl 5s and 1 level 1 or something like that.

I think they need to start a petition and get regina to let them know they need to change the title. I can guarantee they are capable of changing the title and changing the minutes already acquired to the correct amount of points.

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that a game company that is so ban happy for almost anything promotes alcoholism?

Pfffft...
FYI - Most of these clicker tools were "invented" when some of you weren't even born. They were extremely popular when you were paid for surfing the internet. You were sat in front of your PC clicking banners and you got money for it
Assuming every type of this software is made to steal passwords from MMORPG games is utter rubbish

Whist such clicker tools have been around for a while that doesn't discount the fact that hackers have found the idea a profitable means to get their payload onto other's machines, not just for MMORPGs (although with some advertising as a GW Drunkard automators and the like MMOs are a target) but for other keylogging occasions as well.

I'm not not saying all key clickers are hacking tools, but rather that you should be wary of random software you find online

damn good idea!
/signed

Well fyi, computers were not very pouplar, if very many people even had one when I was born and growing up. They were not in schools like they are today.

You don't just google something and just download it. That is exactly how hackers get where they are today and why so many computers end up with viruses. Especially when it comes to computer games and the hacks and things you can find for them. I don't know about you but I use my computer for other things besides video games so I'm carefull of the things I download. I'm not assuming every software was made to steal passwords but there is ton of software made for video games that DO contain them.

Theres no way in hell I'm even going to attempt drunkard without an auto clicker, I have my sanity to consider

I'm waiting to see if it's confirmed bannable, atm, I'm just stockpiling booze

WHAAAATTT?????

What is wrong with you people? 10,000 minutes = 166.66* hours. Type /age on your title chasing char and then think about it. It is meant to be a title gained by spending time playing the game whilst 'drunk'.

Not only can they ban you, they bloody well should.

I drank while vanquishing, my cries to my friend of 'call a target, call it!!! I can't seeeeee!!!' soon led to us not being able to see from laughing too much.

Anet have even promoted 'the right way' of doing it, with handy PvE whilst drunk skills.

QFT a hilarious double standard from the confirmed masters

Sorry just not my idea of fun, if you can't autoclick, I won't bother with that particular title

More often than not I get to into the game having fun to remember clicking a bloody beer every minute, should be like the sweety one so as to be less like torture

LOL, I love the attitude that I see expressed here and ingame. Basically the auto-clickers seem to think that it's impossible to earn this title without cheating. I've heard it many times from cheaters.

"Well it's impossible to earn drunkard without auto-clickers. It's A-net's fault for making an impossible title"

"Textmod is required for Cartography. You can't finish without it"

"Of course I have a bot for HFFF. You can't max the title otherwise"

Guess what? You can. Many people have earned these titles without auto-clickers or other helpers.

I currently have 3800 minutes on my drunk title. I only started working on it seriously about 4 months ago. Yeah, it's harder than sweet tooth, but not in the impossible category. Actually the addition of Pirate Grog to the game made it easier. Grog has a convenient little drunken counter with it that allows you to turn off post-processing, close your title window and still track your minutes.

If I'm in a pug in town and we're waiting for a monk, I'm drinking.
If my guildmates are trying to form an HA team and coordinating builds, I'm drinking.
Doing the strength of snow quest waiting by the end door, I'm drinking. (500+ minutes this week alone!)
In town trying to sell some Elite tomes and buy lockpicks, I'm drinking.
Waiting for the AB Battle timer to let me in to battle, I'm drinking.
Watching a good program on tv or or playing on the PS2 then I'm reaching over to click on the firewater occasionally.
Lately I've started using Drunken Master and of course I'm drinking. (Good skill btw)

If you want to petition Anet to change the title to a click-fest like Sweet Tooth then go for it. I'll certainly sign it!! But until they do, I'll continue to work on it the old-fashioned way.

The bottom line is this. It's just a stupid title. Whether or not you earn this title really doesn't matter much in life. If you want the title then work for it. If it's too hard for you then don't go for it. Sell the alcohol you've accumulated and you'll be richer. It's certainly not worth an account ban or risking a hacker.

Cheers! I love you <hic> man!

I honestly think it should stay the same. For all of the people who have gotten it LEGITLY, they just wasted 10,000 minutes of their lives (not that it's uncommon).

To change it and make it easier would just take away the title's value.

Thats all you need. Yes, you can get banned. Yes, It's a risk you can take. And yes, you can get viruses. It you have half a brain, you can identify viruses without even downloading it. Use common sense.
