Bots are rampant on Spriggan (EU)

[MrKusakabe]

Square Enix is not entirely able to do this. these websites have actual protection by setting their policy/terms to disallow SE employees, and the like, access to the site. they can still access the site, but would be immediately violating the terms of these sites.

SE themselves are not allowed to touch the websites, or bots/services provided. Square Enix would have to hire freelancers.

Hey there,


I've just read this and the other responses and I am really not sure if you are for real or a funky hobby lawyer on an acid trip.


Before anything else: If you come up with "ToS", the ToS or EULA of this game says simply: "No cheating". So if Square Enix want to take action by taking down those sites and their tools, they can do it, as they are not the offenders. We are taking about the "potential steps", not what would be actually done here.


Then: Do you really think any court - if those bot creatores, Which are probably located and run in China, by Chinese people - would rule against Square Enix if they would reverse-engineer some of the tools (why would they want that in the first place, the simple advertisement of it being a cheating tool is probably enough to get it taken off the web) that are fraudulent and bad for business and reputation of a game/franchise, which equals to probably $xxx,xxx?


Terms of Services are always overriden by law. It would be kinda funny to hide the darknet behind a ToS saying: "No cops allowed", and the next time I create a funny website with fraudulent statements about persons or companies (accusing of rape, saying e.g. McDonald's has BSE in their beef etc.) a simple ToS entry saves me and cause billions of potential damage.


No, sorry, you weave back and forth of your statements, and I am pretty sure SE would out-finance every of those freaking criminal organizations that make their money solely by, uh, yeah, causing harm to another company. Or it must be a very good lawyer defending some random chinese farmbot organization to somehow make it clear they are doing good to the game..


Sincerely,
