Also, there has long been a very clear dividing line here: they don't try to mess with your environment, just the game.

Totally unclassic Discord? Allowed.
Totally unclassic Gina (you could read logs, but you couldn't overlay on top of the EQ client in classic) ? Allowed.
Any sort of unclassic new-fangled keyboard/mouse/joystick/gamepad? Allowed ... unless you use it to do something in the game that you couldn't do in classic, then it's banned.

There's an obvious reason why they draw that line: they can control the game, but they can't (seriously) control your environment. There's some small gray area (like their anti-cheat which technically runs outside the game itself), but it's pretty straightforward: they don't try to mess with your environment (the anti-cheat is only used to make sure you don't cheat in-game).

Clearly screen resolution is environmental, and there's nothing hypocritical about them having a logical line and sticking to it.

Oh, and if you want to argue in-game resolution only, A) they have practical limitations (I'm really not sure they even know how to force a resolution within Titanium), and B) even if they can, it's not like players in classic only ran 640x480 either [You must be logged in to view images.
