There have been cases that I saw where players claimed to have BB permission to use mouse recorders sue to some physical handicap.
I see now why people got so upset that the sliders stopping at 20 on the first use.

I would like call to attention to the fact that in the German Forum there is a page that introduces a small program which helps to find the Collectables....
This is allowed by BB

Under the stated rules, the advisement is to not use any programs that "can change the way the game interface works." The collectible finder does not affect the game client at all, as it simply runs a search on a picture of the island. It is technically no different than loading a screen shot into a paint program and modifying the picture. There is one main reason for the lack of oversight into this area - it is not detectible by the game. The only way to prevent it from being used would be to prevent people from taking screen shots.
From my previous experience using mouse simulators, the same is essentially true. The only method that can be used to detect their use is if the game monitors the frequency and timing of people performing actions. Of course, even this could be bypassed using a loop that contains more than one iteration, as the systems are not typical set up to measure longer periods. Since the number of troops is capped out regardless, there is also no trigger that would normally occur when someone is able to make thousands of an object that could not be done normally; a mouse program only saves user movements without increasing the end result. I can't come up with a way to use this type of program to provide any unfair advantage to a player where one would not already exist due to the physical ability to move a mouse more easily.
While it would make it simpler for one of the BB to just say it is okay to use them, it is not likely to happen. If only because some player could come up with a way to exploit the game using one, which may depend on future additions to the game. If you have such concerns that it still would be a problem with the guidelines posted by the BB before, then do not use it. Otherwise, use should be determined by 2 questions: Does it affect the data flow between the client game and the server? Does it allow players to do something they could not do otherwise?
Heh, after getting zone locked 3 days in a row I finally was able to play, logged in , thought about queuing up a few thousand troops logged out.Originally Posted by G_F_M
For me the slider thing is a deal breaker. At least with the zone crashes there are BB responses, and we know they are working on it.
I'll still log in to do dailies while I drink my first cup of coffee, but that's about it.
Ubisoft/Blue Byte Studios' Official response is located in our Terms of Use and our Rules/Code of Conduct for our games.
If these rules, terms, or conditions change the proper documentation below will be updated as well.
