They realized it before, which is why they did it.
Generally when game developers want to **** on content that they themselves do not play or understand, they bury it in threads like this so as to arouse the minimum complaint possible.
It's okay, though. This change is all according to 'design.'
No one should know how many kills take place in WH space, because ::reasons.::
Just like capsuleers were not the first folks to map the entirety of Anoikis. That honor belongs to Interbus, who somehow managed to get to every single system and drop customs offices on every planet. Because ::logic:: and ::design.::

No, it's clearly something that people should talk about ad-nauseum for the next six to seven years until CCP deigns to actually do something about it.

NPC-owned Indestructible Deployable Structure in WH thats shows kills for last hour and 24 hours. Will fix "design" problem and provide reason for API to exist.
Maybe all those Interbus Customs Offices could transmit the kill data back home along with all the tax money they're collecting.

Very few people (if any) were arguing for the removal of this API data. Primarily, this was because very few people even knew it existed. The length of time during which you were able to abuse this data to safeguard your wormholes by collapsing holes that lead to "problem" links is in no way indicative of future performance, nor is it some sort of capital that you have collected to spend in opposition to change. On the other hand, the fact that few people were arguing for the removal of the API data is not somehow a fulcrum that one can use to deny the change, either. It was just a mistake; one that is being ameliorated now. Count yourself lucky that you were able to short-circuit the design intentions of the game for as long as you have.
I haven't abused anything. I don't live in wormholes. That's a nice try, though.
None of that, however, changes the fact that 'not being quiet' is virtually a useless expenditure of time. Even if CCP suddenly agrees that this information should be made available in the client, it is highly unlikely that it will happen anytime soon.

The API is allowed to make your life easier, but it's not allowed to expose information you have no access to elsewhere. I can't for the life of me find in the client where the data is that shows me jump distances in numerical format between systems in light years. Don't forget to remove that data out of the API while you are going.
Good call.
Let's remove all extraneous info from the API since we're on an information witch hunt. Rifterlings pirate corporation is now recruitng members for lowsec PvP operations.
