RCX and heRO

[Aevyn]

... look at that program for two seconds and you should be able to answer a question like that yourself. While the creator probably never intended for the program to be a bot, it hooks into the game in the exact same way. You're even asking for the connection information to the server, and that should put up warning signs pretty fast.

If you allow an application like this, you're pretty much saying that it's okay to use full out client hooks. As I said, the intention of the application may be all in good faith, but the features provided are done so in a way that can otherwise allow for a lot of cheating.

Instead of looking towards 3rd party client hooks that could potentially be used for botting/macros/cheating, you should be pushing for the implementation of the RE-client (NOT the RE mechanics, just the client). While this "RCX" thing has more than the RE-client, there's at least a decent amount of improvements in the new client.
