GW is Guild Wars...I'm not sure if you knew that...
GWCA stands for Guild Wars Client API. So it's a kind of an interface which you can use to call original functions of the Client.
Example: Before GWCA, Autoit sent simply "1" to the GW Window and the Client just thought you pressed "1" on your Keyboard and then he really used skill nr. 1 (so he sent the information to Anets server)
With GWCA you do not send only "1" to the GW Window, but Autoit directly calls (using the graphics.dll) functions of the client, so it makes the client to send the information that you use skill nr. 1 and it does not simulate pressing "1" on your keyboard.
Ok...using skill this way or that way..who cares? What's the point of GWCA then?
You can use a lot of other functions of the client which a "normal" bot would not be able to. E.g. it can open storage without going there. It can read information about items, quests, enemys, other players, npcs and you can use these information to write a wunderful bot. A "normal" bot can't get these information and deal with it. Of course you can write bots with nearly the same functionality like a GWCA bot, but with GWCA it's easier and more stable.
So this was a little explanation of GWCA. Information you could get by using google or the board search, too.
I thinki, I've earned a "thanks" with this post...
