NightF0x Gallente Chicken Coup Raiders	Posted - 2008.04.22 23:44:00 - [1] Originally by: Torik Tavitas Originally by: Ki An Originally by: Torik Tavitas Actually I simply see what is really there rather then what I want to see. People in this thread has said that those that use Bacon are cheaters and as such CPP should ban them. The latest post by CPP clearly proved that wrong. They have stated that no matter how much 'frowning' they do, it is not against the EULA. If something in this game is not against the EULA and CPP has not forbidden it after it was brought to their attention then it cannot be considered a cheat. People who do not cheat in this game should not be banned. The fact that you want it to be a cheat does not make it so. Whether a person uses Bacon or not is not purely a personal matter since CPP washed their hands off the issue. How cute, you're worried you might get banned. Well, you won't, don't worry. But what you should really get from reading that GM's post is that CCP doesn't want you to use this program. They are powerless to stop you until they have changed the game, but they still don't want you to do it. Does that make you a cheater if you, knowing this, still use the program? In my eyes it does. You won't get banned though. You make me chuckle. You are once again seeing what you want to see rather than what the facts show. Nowhere in my posts have I said that I use, used or ever intend to use Bacon or any programs of that nature. This is because personally I do not believe that these types of programs should be used to compensate for flaws in the game's UI. I believe that CPP should fix their flawed system themselves. However, my personal feelings on this issue are irrelevant because only the official position of CPP matters in this. If they say something is a cheat then it is a cheat. If they refuse to disallow the action in question then by definition it cannot be a cheat. Even if CPP wusses out in telling the truth to us straight. Players wishing that something were a cheat cannot make it so. Otherwise every pirate and high sec suicide ganker would already by banned for cheating.:) Will you stop jumping the fence every 2 seconds? CCP didn't declare it a cheat because they have no means to detect it so they must allow it until they have something in place to stop it. How hard is that concept for you to understand? I'll say it slower... T H E Y C A N ' T D E T E C T I T S O T H E Y C A N ' T B A N S O M E O N E F O R U S I N G I T There, now was it that hard for you to get through your thick skull? CCP doesn't want us to use it but they are powerless to stop it until something can be developed. They already said that it is an unintended use of the log servers and that they would rather players not utilize it because its function will be gone very very soon. ------------------------------------

They can't directly tell us that we will be banned for using it because they can't detect it. That's the part that you can't get in your thick skulled head. ------------------------------------
