I can hardly show any surprise to this being used, or having been used (in one form or another) in the past. When an app like this pops up, everyone will argue over its' merit / argue that it's an exploit; but the fact that remains it's arisen because the game lacked proper Intel Management in the GUI. While people seem to think 'BAWWWW Remove Local it's not fair to piwates BAWWWW', the evidence is more that: CCP has not done enough in the department of a customizable GUI. Their focus has been (GOD KNOWS WHY) everything but what people want in this game (and lol you think they 'listen').
I'm not going to put the blame purely on CCP here, there's only so much they are capable of with all the celebratory galas, self congratulation and dealing with their own mistakes on a patch to patch basis (while really not fixing anything) they simply don't have time to create something useful (oh wait, female corpses. huzzah!).
The fact is CCP knew about this a LONG time ago, could have beaten it to the punch long before Trinity by remodeling the GUI and Intel processes (like adding customization, sounds, etc.) but did nothing about it. Why people are here, arguing about it now is purely a lack of introspection. You're all looking more for a debate and not pressing hard enough against the people that should have made this unnecessary in the first place.

I was kinda hoping there actually would be a tangible relation between the impact of this tool and the concept of cheating / macro / farming and all that, that way it could be posed as an argument. Trouble is, those "tools" are way more advanced then this.
Not at all, they are actually completely un-advanced and basic in nature. Since they run separately from the client and only refresh on client log files they are pretty easy to do. NOW: ask yourself, what's a good alternative? Having these logs stored server side? Enjoy your lagfest. I'm not going to pull a 'as a developer myself blah blah blah' card and talk out my butt as so many already do, but I can assure you there is no real technology here and I'm more suprised people haven't taken it to borderline EULA-infringing methods yet in other areas.
This is the tip of the iceberg.

Great point... I do remember a game once cant remember what its called. Anyway when you started the EXE it scanned your computers active processes. If it found a process named the same as a hack program it instantly banned you. I think it was a CS 1.6 server mod, not sure though. So when you joined the server and auto downloaded the mod or something.
Could CCP legally employ that? An active scan of your computers active processes paired up to a list of known hack/cheat programs for insta banning?
*you start eve and BOOM "we have dectected eve altering content on your computer and we exorcise our right to ban you forever."*
You mean VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat)?
Trust me, given CCP's huge amount of fail when it comes to programming, the last thing I want them doing is scanning any processes on my system. Who knows how many more boot.ini snafus will pop up. NO THANK YOU.
I'll simply opt not to use BACON tyvm. Local is good enough for me.

Then why are you still even talking?
You are aware the person with the most posts / responses doesn't 'win', right?
Honestly 21 pages and about 3 1/2 pages of actual content over this crap. Don't you have anything better to do with your life than this? ffs that's pathetic dude.
