*laugh* That thread was a fun read on the EVE-O forums. It was blown out of proportion even more than this one, though there the crying there tended to be a slightly higher level. Thanks for reminding me of that picture =)


You can detect key-sharing software, though the inherent latency between France and the civilized world does make it difficult. For a botting program to be sufficiently random to evade detection, it would have to become at least equal, but likely inferior, to human behaviour. Then it's less of a problem and more like something to ridicule, since you might as well do it yourself at that point.

And WoW's Warden shows that companies can put quite a lot into software as long as you agree to install it. For better or worse. They would need to be VERY certain they only touch data related to their game and enforcing specifics about their acceptable use policies to avoid lawsuits.

If such detection doesn't exist for Ryzom already, developers would need to discuss the benefits of such functionality versus the cost of development time, and decide if it's worth implementing. Or, just come up with a way to receive the same benefits of outposts yet not pit player vs player, since it seems some just can't handle that kind of pressure.


That would really only address account sharing, a completely different topic than your drama thread, and not very well. But boy howdy would THAT be enlightening (on both sides) =)
