Green should disallow GINA

The staff have said there are programs people shouldn't be using that they are.
You can't stop people who want to abuse power of knowledge.
That's why there is an argument that people will just write their own parser.

If the staff decided to ban gina, would I use it? No
Other people may have a different answer however.

It's a case of Git Gud and if you are willing to do that for the win.

I don't like the git gud mentality. It has no place in a healthy community. I apologize if I came off that way.

Wassup guys just enjoying some CLASSIC EVERQUEST here with my GINA/UI setup that gives me ABSOLUTELY NO gameplay advantages! Don't mind me! As classic as it gets!

This isn't about text parsing, it's about modifying the rendered game client. I think you know that, so I don't understand why you keep going back to text parsing. Noone is trying to ban text parsing, that is silly.

Go write your own text parser, noone will mind.

No one has argued there isn't an advantage with gina. We heard you the first time.

The topic you should put more energy into is how indepth were the text parsers during live classic.

You're in the wrong thread. That's not what this thread is about.

But if you want to talk about client..
We use the TITANIUM CLIENT.

Well since you admit that the staff banning third party programs that emulate those functions would result in less people using them, I'm not sure what your argument really is. We shouldn't try to stop something unless we can stop it 100% all the time and forever?

If your countries government banned onions would you still eat onions?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Setting aside whether or not Gina should be banned, maybe ask the question if it's even feasible to be banned.

Are we just going to look for executable names? Come on guys, that's not going to stop anything.

Right now we have people botting, and it's problematic preventing that. Which I think we can all agree is something that is a much bigger issue then a log parser.

Yes of course, I can see how you would misunderstand "modifying the rendered game client" to not mean injecting pixels on top of the Titanium client's pixels while you play, but instead to mean start a holy crusade to ban the client entirely.

I can no longer take you seriously. But I hope people keep you tossing insane retorts for about 100 more pages.

An overlay and an injection are two wildly different things.
