so i was watching some GVGs and it seems like some monks do it but im not sure if its aginst the rules or not.
I have a prgram on my computer where i can make 1 button do multiple things. So my question is can i make 1 button cancel the action so i can switch to a wepon set really quick then use a skill all by pressing 1 button, is that aginst any rules?
NOTE: i did not have to download anything for this as it was already on my computer when i bought it.
is this legal???
its bad to sin

I don't think it's illegal. Most gaming keyboards and mice have macroing capabilities. I believe even the Zboard endorced by Anet does it. If you can do it with those, I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing with something like AutoHotKey.

its actully not even a gaming keyboard its on my laptop but its a program on the laptop that allows me to do it if that makes any difference

technically, it's enhancing ur reaction time using automation and should not be allowed, but there isn't really any way that it can be detected with 100% certainty.

I wouldn't worry about it if I was you. If they were worried about people running simple macros, 90% of the people in HB would have been banned.

Macros such as the OP describes are completely allowed. So long as you don't AFK stuff it's alright.

It's not illegal. If there were ever a live tournament again or something though (lol yeah right) maybe then they'd disallow it, but other than that it's fine.
Most decent gvg monks just manually swap sets for casts though because they're practiced at it.

You are correct about the detection part though. Anet dosent detect processes or hardware on your PC, they just look at your actions and how they are performed being sent to the server. They look for afk drunkard bots that click beers every EXACT amount of seconds and bots that run out of towns and click each sign post to move each time and do each c-space 123 123 over and over exactly the same every time to kill things.

The interrupt bot, sure it is out there, so is certain other tools you can find on the more underground GW websites, but there is no destinct way to tell someone is using a macro to weapon swap...

Just to be clear on this - "illegal" is not the same as "against the EULA". The police are not involved. 
We should use the terms "allowed" and "not allowed" rather than "legal" and "illegal". The only way in which "legality" is involved is that it is legal for ANet to take action against you (such as a ban) if you break the terms of the EULA.
Anyway, iirc ANet does not "support" the use of macros. Which basically means that if you have problems with macros, don't whine to them. They also reserve the right to enforce the terms of the EULA if the use of a macro results in something that is against the EULA. Most common macros won't be a problem.
