ok first of all idk if this is the right place to post this so mods feel free to move
So i came across this thing called ENBSeries which is enhancing Bloom Effect for games. There are videos on youtube that shows this on games like WoW, GTA 4 and Warhammer online like these:

I know GW has pretty awesome bloom effects in some areas, most notably in Eotn, but some areas in old school Tyria like Southern Shiverpeaks could use some facelifting.(Also it could make exploring old areas fresh and shiny) So i was wondering if theres anyone out there with some experience with this software and if its safe to use with GW without getting ban or if its gonna work at all.
(ENBSeries) Enhanced bloom effect and stuff for games

Why would you intentionally add image distortion? I've never understood the fascination with adding this effect. It distorts the image and degrades the quality.

This also works when applied to other games. Tomb Raider Anniversary for example...

Am I the only one who prefered the games with out the effect (expecially wow).
War becomes a tad too much imo and wow fits better more cartoony. For my tastes at least.
EDIT : after noticing the question, I have no experience. But I think this or Campfire is the place for it.

Like so?

LOL, that was amusing.

Chthon ninja'd me. But when it comes to bloom effects I'm not sure. Is it possible with texmod?

If I wanted to be bombarded with wicked amounts of bloom, I would go outside.
Winterclaw
I try to turn bloom off in games. I can't stand it.

How bloom doesn't hurt other people's eyes is beyond me, I honestly can't stand looking at the excessive amounts of bloom being used more and more often for more then 10 minutes.

I have no idea what bloom you are talking about even after watching the videos.

I love the ENBseries, I always used it in Oblivion when I was play. Completely changed how everything looked, it was so much better, just seemed fresh. One thing I would have even more is when you are resurrected in JQ and the light from the res shrine is right up in your screen, it's already bad enough I can only imagine how much worse it would get haha.

If I wanted bloom, I'd play games that have nothing but bloom to offer, like Oblivion.

As far as I'm concerned the only place in guild wars that could really use bloom is mineral springs.

They even added motion blur. It must not have been awful enough.

Yes, tricking out your graphics can be cool, at other times it makes you feel like your eyes are having the equivalent of an epileptic fit.
Bloom? In MY Guild Wars? It's less likely than you think.

It doesnt actually hurt my eyes, but I can stare at the sun without feeling any discomfort, so my eyes arent normal.

Bloom is a plague that should be exterminated. I turn off all post-processing effects just to annihilate this horror.
Xenomortis
Video games always get contrast wrong.
It wasn't so bad when graphics weren't as good.

I hate bloom effect, and I hate that post-process effect (If that is the same as bloom effect xD)
I've always been running without it because in real life my skin/clothing does not glow like that. And the bloom effect is tiring to look at. BUt hey that's just what I think.
Watched the oblivion thing and that looks pretty irritating and tiring >.<

Cthon pretty much sums it up nicely. Why would i use this software when all it does is make my grapics look poorer?

There's more to ENB than just making your head kerplode from a truck load of bloom. The plugin for GTA:SA adds real time reflections to vehicles and enhances the water, it can look pretty neat.
