We're going to be discussing what constitutes a bot and what doesn't in an upcoming devblog to clear up any ambiguity. I will note as a word of caution that we provide the API as a gateway to obtain the information we want you to be obtaining and that this is not the purpose of any of the files which are delivered as a part of the client.
CCP Sreegs, could you give concrete comments regarding EVE Mentat's functionality before posting the blog? Does the tool conforms EULA or not?
We will give concrete comments regarding what constitutes a violating application which should be pretty clear. Let's visit the issue once I've actually seen the blog. We know we're going to have to address these things and I can either guess at them today in one-offs or have a process in place to deal with them when we're ready.
Man, don't bother the guy! As a CCP employee, he needs his vacation time to manage golf tee times, review pleasure craft purchase plans and decide on which Caribbean Island he'd like to buy property.
CCP personnel will get to work when they feel that it is appropriate for their personal schedules.
Seriously, the nerve of CCP clients asking for employee time!
I think its disgusting that a CCP dev had to take their time to answer this and then people chastise them. What the **** is your major malfunction? For one thing, while the definition of what we can and cannot use in the EULA may be ambiguous as far as certain things are concerned, its not in this case whatsoever.
