Guild Wars Wiki notes: Toolbox is active in the Zaishen Menagerie

New page

==Update -- May 14, 2024==

I want to add some clarity around our policy regarding addons. Our general policy is to prohibit addons that provide a player with an advantage over another player. To increase the specificity of this policy with respect to GW1, I want to make it clear that using any addon in PVP violates the policy.

Using addons always has risk. [[ArenaNet]] does not support any of these tools and using one can cause undefined behavior, especially now that there are more internal changes being made to the game. That said, I have been in contact with the [https://www.gwtoolbox.com/ GwToolbox] developers. They have worked on a new interface to the game that should be more resilient to changes. And I asked them to ensure that Toolbox is not active in [[Player versus Player|PVP maps]] which they have also done. As such, GwToolbox in its current state is permitted for use in [[Player versus Environment|PVE maps]], though ArenaNet reserves the right to change this determination in the future.

We plan on adding this policy clarification to ArenaNet’s Code of Conduct in the coming weeks. As a side note, I am aware that there is an outdated user agreements in the GW1 client and am working on updating it to match the current agreements, which are available at [https://www.arena.net/legal arena.net/legal].

"PVP Maps" includes at least the following competitive maps '''and their lobbies''':

* [[Random Arenas]]
* [[Fort Aspenwood]]
* [[The Jade Quarry]]
* [[Alliance Battles]]
* [[Codex Arena]]
* [[Heroes' Ascent]]
* [[Guild versus Guild]]

Thanks for your attention,

* "PVP Maps" also includes [[Ascalon Arena]], [[Shiverpeak Arena]], [[Shing Jea Arena]], [[Sunspear Arena]], [[Dragon Arena]], [[Zaishen Challenge]], [[Zaishen Elite]], [[Ascalon Academy (PvP battle)]], [[Isle of the Nameless (PvP)]], [[Rollerbeetle racing]], [[Costume Brawl]], and [[Dwayna Vs Grenth]].
