MCabal, mate, that in itself is a paradox, lol. An "avid PvP player" will buy anything that can give him an edge in the game.Being an avid PvP player, I feel disadvantaged by not using it and I refuse to buy it
I'm just teasing, ok?

Hardware is not mentioned in the EULA. Apropos, I don't play any games that assume having a 21:9 monitor is an unfair competitive advantage.MCabal, mate, that in itself is a paradox, lol. An "avid PvP player" will buy anything that can give him an edge in the game.

Well Elite was mostly B&W, so there was practically no loss of quality.I used to play zx spectrum on a tiny black&white tv. XD
A "do x, wait y seconds, then do z" script, no matter how complex, will still require manual intervention in the event that you get interdicted or something that interrupts its flow. If you wrote your script to react, say by menulogging the instant an interdiction is written to the journal, then that would probably be over the line. But a simple "execute this series of instructions when I say go" is nothing that you couldn't do otherwise.How complex can the macro be then? Can one be where it basically flies the ship from A to B without any other input than the initial command? It's a macro, and it's nothing we couldn't do otherwise.
So the requirement is to be at my desk? One can start the bot, be at the desk watching netflix, and would fulfil your requirement of being at the desk and making the decision to execute the macro.
I didn't put any words in your mouth, I made a comment about a funny court scenario. I would have used "you", instead of "someone"/"their", if I was referring to you.Sorry Stuart, I didn't say anything about being banned for cheating. You put those words in my mouth.
I see the following hypothetical scenario as problematic: Before buying the game I do my due diligence and read the EULA. After I see that the licensor has firm stance on automating and cheating, I decide to buy the game. But after some time I discover that the licensor not only tolerates, but also endorses automation software. Being an avid PvP player, I feel disadvantaged by not using it and I refuse to buy it, since it was a hidden cost that was nowhere stated and it influenced my buying decision.
I ask FD for a complete reimbursement of my expenses, they refuse and I take them to court, because they didn't comply with their own EULA.
Personally I think I have big chances to win.
Voice Attack still isn't. But even if it'd be free, I'd still be in violation of 3. (c) of EULA, which prohibits use of automation software, among other things.I didn't put any words in your mouth, I made a comment about a funny court scenario. I would have used "you", instead of "someone"/"their", if I was referring to you.
Thanks for the laugh with your own court scenario too: "i bought your £10 game, now I'm gonna pay £70 small claims court fee to get that back!"
Good news btw: KICS voice control software is free, so it isn't a hidden cost
FIY, a small claims fee is not £70. It depends on the amount you are claiming: https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-money/court-feesI didn't put any words in your mouth, I made a comment about a funny court scenario.

You may be able to claim the fees back if you win the case.
I'd love to see that: someone taking a game company to court for "unfair Terms of Service" after they've been banned for cheating. The Magistrates will just laugh in their face.

Wwwwwellllll... The EULA actually says that we are not permitted to:Actually, that's quite an interesting side topic of the current one.. If hardware is not mentioned and there-fore not covered, is building a piece of hardware to monitor and then action certain events via say VA, legal? I'm kinda handy with Arduino
A lot of this is pretty much nonsensical interweb-lawyerin'. The post was pretty clear, it's the Anti-Cheat Dept, FD, that decides if something is cheating. The use of VA, is not going to be the golden ticket for those that are botting, or using one of those other cheating methods.
