I'm making this topic to spread the word, so that ANet would give this idea a chance and maybe implement this option into the game itself, since using mods is not allowed. I'm sure this can happen if enough people voice their interest.

IMO, the best change is the elimination of holding the right mouse button, which makes my hand hurt after a while of playing.

Here's also a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpdgW_G4FyU

Since mods are not allowed in game, read your EULA, this is a permaban offense.

Yes, and that is why we are discussing/asking/hoping it will be addition to the official game

The direct download links have been taken down. The author of the mod is consulting Anet. As current policy stands they would treat this no differently than a third party botting program. 

They do not allow mods. As others have stated above, this is a bannable offense at this time. 

This is not a mod.

The game is not touched. It's just rebinded keys and a .png picture in the middle of the screen.

If they don't allow that kind of stuff then they can ban almost all good mouses and keyboards drivers with which you can create macros.

This thing is not even using macros.

Amazing effort, I hope ArenaNet implements the option for the people that want it.

Personally, I couldn't stand having to look down to place my AoE skills. The combat is good the way it is in my opinion. (The video only shows combat against VERY slow and fairly easy to beat opponents. I would like to see this played out against a very agile veteran mob for example.)

Awwww, I thought he'd added a Corsair character class as well  :(

This post finally made me click the reddit link because I really wanted to know wtf you guys were talking about.

 

Crosshair

We knew that.  I hoped a Corsair was in the works, though I knew it was really unlikely.  :D

To all that are saying mods are illegal and I'll get banned.. read the OP again.

What part of this is unclear? And as said, the download links were also removed.

In keeping with this theme, I hope they do add croissants...specially chocolate ones.

Or crossfit training so that I can bulk up my Norn even more.

^^ People are so easy to fool ;)

I really don't get the excitement about this "mod". All it does holding down your right mouse button (Ok, the crosshair too, for the visually impaired). Everything else is ingame options... 

People really need a mod to keep a mousebutton pressed? What the hell?

Key turners do.

I've thought about it and can't come up with a good answer against it.

I was first thinking what about the AI moving out of the AOE as mobs do during building difficulty or more players involvement, and I have to say that they would still move anyway in those instances why make it take longer to cast.

Makes sense to me, tho the mouse movement thing is not my style i'm all for more options for people. 

Some classes work very well with a gamepad... others do not. Trying to drop marks on the ground with a necro is far easier to do with a mouse than a gamepad. But for melee classes or classes with less dependence on dropping aoe attacks, it's great!

Not the same thing exactly, but it's another option.

If that download sets the keybinding for you in-game then it's a mod as well as if it adds the .png by modifying something in the game instead of it being an overlay.

Macro keyboards / mice don't do that.

I know what it does because I have downloaded it, it is in .ahk format and I know this pretty well.

You can open it with notepad and see what it does.

Now I tell you, this thing does not touch anything in the game.

And the .png is just a picture that appear on top of other windows (thats why you need to run GW2 in windowed mode, otherwise you won't see the crosshair).

Don't use the tab, I swear, I have not used the tab button till this very day lol.

Though that being said I do agree with you, I hope they add this feature.
