Tau Cabalander Retirement Retreat Working Stiffs 5757	Posted - 2016.02.23 19:06:36 - [1] - Quote Several of the posted questions should be petitioned instead. When your account gets banned, it is helpful to be able to refer to GM replies. Make sure to backup any GM replies so they are accessible outside of the game client. Leave the petitions in your inbox too, so CCP can find them if they go missing from their account logs. Been there. Done that. Have the scars, and I am so paranoid now that I won't even do things CCP has explicitly told me are OK.

You should also read the EULA and ToS. So many people jumping to conclusions that would be cleared up by actually reading it all properly. CCP can not comment on individual third party programs. They have no control over them. The majority of third-party programs do not break the EULA themselves, however they can be used to break the EULA and that is a crucial distinction people need to understand. Asking if this program or that program is in violationof the EULA is a question that can not be answered. Its what you are doing with the program thats important. ... also a program that is legal today might not be tomorrow if the program is changed Hence CCP can't make anything other than generic statements. If you are unsure, ask a GM. If you are still unsure, don't do it.

The link appears to be broken. Quote: Policies Can't find item Sorry, we could not find the item you were looking for.

If you don't use any third-party tools, you may be okay. If you do, you are probably toast. When in doubt, file a petition asking if X is okay.. If still in doubt, don't do it.

You have an unfair advantage if you: - use EFT or pyfa - use evemon to plan ahead - use any of the manufacturing or research calculators to find deals and calculate profits - use a website or app to keep track of wormholes and create a dotlan-map the god awful w-space - use a ship identification chart - use voice comms - check people's killboard resume - have 2+ screens instead of just 1 - unfuck your overview I have cache scraping disabled in EVEmon. It is / was enabled by default. CCP have stated something like that cache scraping is technically against the rules, but their enforcement depends on usage, so I err on the side of paranoia by not doing it. I'm not aware of anything API or CREST related that CCP has ever stated as a no-no, beyond overloading those services. If it otherwise can't be done via the supplied client, I personally don't try to get around that.

But this is pretty laughable, i have 3 monitors i can reasonably fit 2 or maybe more clients each, so 6+ clients and there local not using any other tools. Yet someone with only one small monitor can't do any extra, am i breaking the rules because i have more monitors? Are you using third-party overlays or tools to do it? I sometimes use 4 clients, and as many as 6 clients, in windowed mode spanning two monitors, as enabled by the client and launcher. I'm personally not concerned about my usage, but I cannot state anything unequivocally; only CCP can do that.

No EFT/PYFA ?! The in game fitting tools are literally a joke.. Be serious now. I don't think I've launched EFT in over three years. I tried PyFA once, but didn't like it. For my current ship, I just bought modules and fit them, and when they didn't fit I bought the cheapest faction and deadspace modules that did fit, and resold the ones that didn't fit. Of course, those tools use API and the SDE supplied by CCP, so I am personally not concerned about them. I also use EVEmon and Aura, as well as DOTLAN.

First there was CCP Punkturis, whom seems to have since educated other devs: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=879268#post879268 Among her finest achievements, was "Hello Graph" (at bottom): https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/little-improvements-and-a-cake-1/ Look very closely for the watermark.
