I would also like to know if this is opt-in or mandatory. |

That refers to the standard Windows thing, and is unclear on the CCP error reporting. |

Solo Drakban makes a good point - is mandatory reporting being patched out before release, or in winter expansion 1.1 |

Why on earth would you not want to help CCP to fix crashes?
Like Solo, I prefer to know what information is being collected from my computer before approving it. |

I work with confidential information, and occasionally I work from home. It's necessary for me to be able to be sure that no confidential information is transmitted along with an eve crash report due to it being miscoded. |

You do realize that your computer already sends an endless stream of data to CCP that you are not pre-approving. That is the command stream. And if CCP was out to hijack your disk content, they could easily slip/mix that data into the command stream.
Granted it would take forever at low rates that did not raise your suspicion but then again you are logged on forever.
I am not perticularly concerned about CCP attempting to spy on me. I am, like Solo Drakban, concerned that a misconfigured crash report could draw more data than it was intended to, and unfortunately I'm required to care about that sort of thing. |
