Is using FFXIAH considered using a third party tool?

[Mirage]

Using FFXIAH probably isn't considered using a third party tool. However, the people running FFXIAH are probably breaking the terms of service by having a third party tool grab all the AH information.

Unless they write them down manually.

Q: How do you get your data?

A: While the actual data collection routine is proprietary and not public, we will state that we do not violate the Terms of Service via bots or automated in-game 3rd party utilities to collect our data.

I think they poll the AH servers directly, about once per server every 20 minutes.
