I wondered what is Anets stance for the use of turbo button’s?

I wonder since I’m trying to go for the Thirst Slayer achievement which require a lot of clicking.

The program I’m using is Xpadder which i all ready know some people use so they can play this game with a game pad.

Edit:
Ok thanks for the reply, note though i did use the turbo function for a few seconds to check it out just so you know.

And also please include a karma dring that provides more than 4 point’s soon, the thirst slayer gets tedious enough after just 1 stac

Ask yourself: If Fred is clicking a gazillion times, and I’m not — if I’m getting an achievement in 1/10th the time — aren’t I getting an advantage over poor ol’ Fred?

I don’t think we’d approve of this, even if we were in the business of approving of that sort of thing.

I understand what you are saying about the “fun factor.” What I was trying to point out was the “advantage factor.” And I think we can all agree that whether you justify it because it’s faster, easier, or just more “fun,” it does indeed give a player an advantage over one who does not use the program, and under our current guidelines and rules, that’s just not right.

If y’all have suggestions about this, please do feel free to post them in the Suggestions Forum. Again, I understand your thoughts, but the suggestions need to go where they’ll be seen by the right people. Thanks for understanding.
