    That wasn't ACT, that was another illegal 3rd party tool.

    Fair enough, everything I was seeing was that it was something built into ACT. Either way, point stands, doing things that actively change how the game works is a no-go.

    Yeah ACT doesn't have any built in things to mess with the client, everything including some actually illegal mods that RPers use are some other 3rd party tools. I'm just surprised this game doesn't have an anti cheat like literally every other game out there that stops modding.

    Wouldn't that stop ACT anyways, because it's pulling information that, while readily available, I doubt is being grabbed by literally taking down what is in the Battle Log?

    It reads network packets so it doesn't modify the game code at all
