Not sure if you followed the whole thread up until now, but I tried to bring up the idea for COMMUNITY to police ourselves.
I'm not talking about running to a GM to ban everyone you think breaks the rules; we've had enough of that on this server for a lifetime, and in fact I don't want to see anyone get banned (we're trying to promote server growth, not the opposite).
I'm talking about community standing up and saying "NO" to the use of third-party programs which provide an unintended advantage (by circumventing the purposeful removal of maps from the eqgame client) .
The very small portion of the player-base who currently indulge in these programs would quit if their peers stood up against it. The problem is if the offender's peers are inclined to "look the other way", or join the bad behaviour. Thus follows the downward spiral of cheat or be cheated.
Rogean has already set down the law with third party programs.

It's up to us, the community, to uphold the spirit of the rules; to stand up to the rule-breakers and refuse to associate with them unless they play legit. |
It's not providing any advantage undue to anyone else unless you consider using the wiki w/ it's maps and loc-grids as also unfair. This is literally just taking that map, and putting you on it instead of you looking at the numbers to figure it out.
Also, how would you enforce people using it / not using it? There is no way to tell.
3rd party programs typically interact with the program they are hacking either by injection or by man-in-the-middle. This does neither.
What you're suggesting is the equivalent of everyone refusing to use the wiki
