Obviously, anything that breaks any of the other Terms of Service would be forbidden outright, e.g.
Problematic: Plug-ins (if ANet disapproves, the developer of the app can land in hot water, and, more rarely, its users). No issues: Websites, external tools, overlays, OS utilities. (among many others).įurther clarification: using my terminology: This includes a DPS meter, a build template loadout tool, a "choose your mount" tool, and a "pretend the game uses DX12" tool. Plug-ins: These are the ones that can't be officially discussed in the forums, as they insert themselves into code the game executes (i.e. For example, creating a macro for your mouse to press is fine setting it up to deploy a turret and blast it. As long as you don't use these to "automate" your game play, they are fine. OS Utilities: This includes macro software and anything that works on your computer, not your game. The most important of these is GW2 Tactical Overlay (GW2 TACO). 
Overlays: These don't interact directly with the game they just use the mumble|GW2 echo-location API to place you on the map. These include trading sites (GW2 TP, GW2 BLTC, GW2 Profits), fashion|skin sites (GW2 Wardrobe Analyzer, GW2 Fashion, GW2 Dye Job), and comprehensive sites (GW2 Efficiency, GW2 Timer). As long as they rely on GW2's API, they are fine. Websites & Tools: these don't interact at all with the game. Moreover, "add on" is a generic term that encompasses a variety of utilities: 
that's on the player, not on ANet to fix). ANet hasn't changed its official stance much, except to point to specific plug-ins as "not objectionable," which they call "green lighting." These remain "use at your own risk" (crashes, lost data, eaten items. Of course, fans being fans, that didn't take long to be proven. The game was designed under the theory that people would need or use them.Partly, ANet didn't want to be in a position of having to "police" the 3rd party development. There aren't any "legal" addons in the sense that means to WoW players.
