Dha brought to my attention, that you might not know what that tool is for and that it might be considered illegal. thank you for mentioning that Dha. well first-off, the tool basicly copy n paste line after line from a text file into a window. so what i do with this is, i write all the stuff i wanna sell into a textfile (see readme for details) and hit a button. from that point on, it sends every 30 seconds or so, line after line into the guildwars window, as if it was u typing it. i would like to stress that, this is no way considered illegal. this does not break the eula in anyway. this cannot get 'scanned' or in any way bring u into trouble. if it would, i would a) not be posting it here b) not be using it it is though considered 3rd party software and therefore some ppl react funny to it. well hey, if u run a service on ur home computer that does write logfiles (apache for example), u can have this tool send the log line after line to ur icq acct at work. im just saying, its koscher . hey nevermind, im just sharing what i find quite useful. and this is useful to me, apperently i hate selling stuff in guildwars, i rlly do, but i need to do it, cuz im not a runner or vanquisher. typing the same over and over again, sitting there and be patient for a response, plain sucks. righto, over n out xD

Nimrod, I agree this is not illegal, it does not even alter the game like TextMod does and ANET have TextMod as a useful tool to help with Cartographer.
I also created a program that double click 3 times every 3 mins so that I can stay drunk while AFK, it is useful little programs that take the grind away. I do not like farming bots because it affect the drop rate for a specific farm spot, but mostly because our accounts will get blocked when we use it and I don't want to risk my account, if that was not the case, I would be using bots too to get money while AFK. So honestly I am just envious over people that are willing to risk their accounts.
Thats my 2 cents worth.

all for the family bro.
i am actually working on a new app (with similar functions) that is pretty much guild wars orientated. so it is more accessable for the masses. more like a more-clicking-less-mucking-around-with-config-files-thing xD.

While you at writing another program, I thought about a way to get loads of Guildwars Gold quick. They say that we are not allowed to buy GW's gold with real money, but they didn't say anything about selling software with GW's gold.
So you allow the user a trial period to test your program, after a week or so, it expires, then he must register, he goes online, pay you 10-20k for a key. The program generate a key at that point in time and he gives you that key, you give a key in return to match the key he gave you, so only he can use the key you gave him.
If 10 people buy your program with 20k, that is 200k easy.
Think about it.

woha, i just wet my pants. i do like the idea. some ppl (like myself) would have a keygen ready after 1 week. to code the other way around is quite a challenge, talking about crack-proof software.
then again all programs i wrote, i have released for free because i have this 'for the people - through the people' attitude.
maybe we can make it abit more safe, regarding the EULA. like, u can try it for 24hrs for free to sell the lot. afterwards u need to make a 'DONATION' (what a wonderful word aint it) to unlock it.
well let me think about it k, its not finished anyways. and to make it really safe, we prolly need a server to store some information on, just simple text, to avoid multiple usage of one key.
great to talk to you about.

Only problem is that some will not trust you to give them the right key when they paid you 20k and they must pay first.
Maybe emphasize that why would you write all that into the program just to cheap people out of money. Generating a key is not that big a deal, and by giving them a key, word about the program will spread to other guildies.
Maybe read ANET's rules carefully to make sure you don't violate any rules.

whohooo brainfart.
ok what about this, to get around all this server mess, encrypting, generating keys, yaddi yaddi ya... i build one general version, which is free for everyone. the annoying part is though, it has sort of a nag screen or either some sort of an advertisement which is being posted to the gamescreen aswell, together with the stuff u have for sale. its hardcoded and u cannot control it. so to avoid posting ads for the program, u donate cash and in return get your own compiled version of the program, which is ads free ONLY for ONE of your characters, which is chosen by name. so basicly, u donate a fixed amount and get ur very own build w/o ads when loggedn in with your character who holds all your items. if u donate the fixed amount more than once, u are eligible of course to chose more names, one donation, one name which is ads-free. i hardcode the encrypted name and decrypt it at runtime when needed, so the name is not stored as a string and can therefore not be replaced/cracked.
good?

A few problems with your method: - If you post ads in Guild Wars the chat will fill up with your ads the more people use it, can be very irritating and I normally don't pay for those apps, I uninstall them.
- If you have to send a program to each person that donate, it will take a lot of your time, you want to make it as simple as possible.
- How will you be able to determine what character he is logged in on Guild Wars to limit it, I have multiple characters with stuff to sell, I would hate it to be limited anyways.
- When someone pay you with Gold, they don't want to wait for an email or something to the full version, or go download it again. They want something immediately.
- It is not that difficult to generate a key based on data/time, it is just a matter of simple math, then you create a routine to generate a number based on the first number, the client app and you will have the same code, so both can generate that key and then you just have to compare it with the key the client enter and it unlocks. Very simple.
