I hope this is just some uninformed employee.
SOE now says WINEQ violates the EULA and can get you banned
Moderators: Lavish Software Team, Moderators
Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on that. It's obviously a fairly new employee. We've heard straight from the top (e.g. Smedley) that they will not ban for EQPlayNice, and that's far more intrusive to their product than WinEQ. And we've heard many times over the years that EQWindows and WinEQ are not bannable offenses. Not to mention the recent statement from Kytherea, who has the ADMIN tag, whereas JasonC simply has the MOD tag.
I would assume that JasonC is simply a forum moderator, and was simply instructed at day 1 that when someone posts about using third party products that interact with the game, it's not allowed. If he went up the ranks to get someone reprimanded for using WinEQ 2, he'd likely get shot down. It's like Smedley said, they don't take bannings lightly. WinEQ 2 is hardly something they're going to consider to be ruining their game.
