Paraduck: Locked by poster's request.


MOD edit- Please read page 5 before posting!!! IBN has posted that the CoC was NOT supposed to change and will be changed back!!


With the change in CoC all unattended play (not just combat) is now forbidden. This includes tradebots, craftbots, tinkbots, buffbots, and virtually any other kind of bot you can think of. (well...technically, standing unattended with no 3rd party utilites loaded in one place doing absolutely nothing is still legal)


However, according to Ibn, they are not changing their enforcement standards, which based on past performance would mean to me that if a particular envoy on a particular day decides to enforce some part of the CoC, you will be banned.


They spent quite a bit of time crafting their old CoC to help clarify what is and isn't legal. The good news is the new one is very clear. The bad news is that most uses of Decal are now against the CoC.


Removing the functionality that makes botting possible also removes all the functionality required for proper use of Decal, and as best I can tell, anything we do will be against the CoC.


Not wanting to put our toons at risk. Decal is now officially dead.


p.s....

I haven't decided if this is a joke post or not yet....

It's really not a joke post, Gouru. You know as well as I do that this new wording absolutely must change. Unattended macroing of any kind now being prohibited prevents anyone from doing something as innocuous as a fletching macro, let alone trade bots.

There are MANY decal Apps that are not used for Unattended Play.


For Example my Plugin DCS. It simply tells you what color armor is so you don't have to try it on.


Many Radar enhancers like BS/2 and Sixth Sence


ALso treasure sorters, Imp Inventory and BS/2.


Many others have no automation what so ever, such as Map Enhancers (ACNav), UI enhancments (Stoic), and monster Info (AC Monster)


I do not think the automated buffs are against CoC.


Decal will be arround it not supported, just will be underground.


It Decal does go unsupported because of this, it was just show that the Decal Devs where infact hypocritcal macroers.


I really hope this is a joke post.

This wouldn't include such plugins as XP/Hour trackers, things like Bandit Sight, etc.
