GWCA++ General Safety / Detection?

[zahr]

Hi,

I'm a C++ programmer looking to put together a basic follow bot, and GWCA++ seems like it's generally kept better updated than the various GWA2 files floating around publicly. Given that, and also because I'm more comfortable with C++ than AutoIt, I'd like to use GWCA++ and make the bot in C++ rather than using GWA2 with AutoIt.

Now, I understand that all bots are inherently risky in terms of chance of getting banned (albeit a minor risk given ArenaNet's current hands-off approach to GW1) and also that it's pretty hard to tell whether ArenaNet has actually detected a given API vs just monitored account activity, etc., but I do dimly recall GWA2 having been regarded as generally safer than some of its predecessors / alternatives. Keeping in mind that I'm not expecting a definitive, certain yes or no answer, is there any general consensus regarding GWCA++'s detectability vs GWA2?

I know Toolbox uses it and Toolbox is generally safe to use, but it's not clear whether this is because the API is safe, or Toolbox is just not something ArenaNet cares about, or maybe a mix of both.

Thanks for any info.

GWA2 and GWCA++ use the same methods (memory scanning, injecting instrutiuons and sending specific packets) to interact with the Guild Wars client, as for how arenanet identifies botting is anyone guess, but doesn't mean any 3º party application is more safe that any other.

i may be wrong but i had idea the some parts good for botting where removed from GWCA++ to make it look more legit, but i dont know enough about it. GWCA++ is overall a better API that you dont have to worry to fix youself.

i like using the autoit based stuff because you dont need to compile when you change a line, also you can just share the autoit file so people can audit the code (if they know how).

the main issues with gwa2 is people dont want to release all the features they figured out and edit out parts even if they are not the authors and the is no officially maintained repo.

With certain game patches they can install function that scans/reads all your running processes on PC, more info here:
