POE1-WASD-control with script legal ? -> script transforms wasd into mouse-click-holding

Hi, I want to know if it is ok to use a script that transforms wasd-button-presses into mouse-click-holding until button is released.

Who is it for?
- Everyone who want to control poe with WASD.
- Players who come from PoEtwo and miss WASD-control.
- Players who have pain in their wrist and prefer wasd.

Functionality : What does it do?
e.g.:
I press w then the mouse clicks above my character and keeps holding mouse click as long i keep holding w-button.
Then I press additionally the d-button then mouse still keeps holding the mouse button down but mouse to top right above the character.
When i press w+s+d it just behaves as presssing only d-button.
Same applies for all other directions.
When i press w+a+s+d it just centers the mouse without clicking.
When i press w+s or a+d it just centers the mouse without clicking.

Is it ok to use such script to eneable wasd as descripted?

Server load:
I'm guessing it would generate the same amount or less server action than normal gameplay.

Rules:
I checked:
- PoE Third-Party Policy https://www.pathofexile.com/developer/docs#policy

"
Automation of key-strokes (or other inputs) that affect the game in any way must follow our macro rules:
• Macros must be invoked manually by the user (automated invocations such as but not limited to: timers, reacting to file changes, or from reading the screen are not allowed).
• Each macro invocation must have one set function (it cannot cycle between actions).
• The resulting function must only perform one action that interacts with the game (sending a single chat message or command counts as one action).

and other threads.

As far as I can tell, this script would be in line with the rules mentioned.
Is this correct?

Final Question:
Is such a script that transforms wasd-input into mouse-click-holding allowed?

Hi! Could you please contact us at support@grindinggear.com and we'll be able to provide you with some additional information.
I wrote them.
Now I hope we get clear statement soon.
I guess many in the community will be happy to use WASD-control again.

I press w then the mouse clicks above my character and keeps holding mouse click as long i keep holding w-button.
Then I press additionally the d-button then mouse still keeps holding the mouse button down but mouse to top right above the character.

This will result in GGG taking action against you.

Repositioning the mouse cursor = not okay.
I find it difficult to justify optional purchases to support a Tencent-owned development studio that declines to provide customers Technical Support, regardless of how many thousands of euros that customer has spent...
