I wonder how much stock the true Evil Empire (MS) owns of Sony? I could look it up but nvm.
I am taking what I feel to be prudent precautions, which I hesitate to even list because I figgure every word here is being read by an SOE employee, or at least by some kind of collaborative player. This is old news.
What are the chances that SOE would take a 100% intolerance stance with scripters? This is the RW, $$ drives everything. They will never bust everyone they know about, only those that impact other users (or unlucky enough to get caught in one of those rare random checks). Think of it as saving face. Sony will leave those alone who fly far enough under the radar. Once you get a report on you by another player, I would say all bets are off because you have forced Sony to take action against you by entering the documented "system".
For that reason, I will never admit to my guildies or friends that I even know about MQ much less use it. I used /speed 4 and 5 intermittently for about a week when I first loaded MQ2, but at this point, I won't even use /speed 3 anymore unless I am a bard or are multi-boxing with one.
