Kinda agree with others, if I have assist running, I minimize screen by going to check my bank or paypal in web and screenshot is taken its a bs. That's to much going into privacy, maybe there is another way around with this anti cheat? Even games like COD or battlefield or other game doesn't have this.

Of course you are 100% right. And then you have issues like:
- "where are SS stored?"
- "for how long?"
- "who can access it?"
- "how it is protected?"
etc.

That's actually a very good point. I'm not exactly defending this, just stating that the ToU clearly states that this occurs.

I can't answer this as I don't deal with any of that stuff.

Same here, if they see how many figures you have on your bank account they know who to target easily.
It's really an issue and we can not wave our hand over it like it's nothing.

Again, good to see you are smart and reasonable Killa. Bad to see you are still try to cover it with TOS (repeat: TOS is not above law).

I can't answer this as I don't deal with any of that stuff.

And this is worrying by itself. Admin admitting he doesn't know what happens with such sensitive data? So who does? Probably single person: Eliz.

Most of users here still raging after 203 has been disabled and this must be their hate and some kind of revenge. But in overall the anti cheat you are using is too much for this old damn game. I appreciate the work you are doing but it's too much, if now 50% of players finds out about it they will leave.

All we need is to spread the word out to the community.

@Merlin

H?, let this be clear: i appreciate the work they do to keep AA alive.
I do not appreciate to be spied on and i believe they do not need to spy on us.

yes, but you did say ok to the TOS. like I did. so what is your problem?
play or stay out, so easy it is.
here you have the choice, at NSA you don't have. and btw we have also a "NSA". so be careful, big brother is watching you :D

and btw: this all is real cold coffee. welcome and good morning. lol

I barely can understand your post, but i will try.

How can you compare administration of some old game to NSA? It is an obvious fact that governments spy on people. But it doesn't mean you can also do it.

It's the same what happened when johnny the one that started Assist was in charge, he was spying on people their desktops, he backed of when people were taking steps to take him to court.

Merlin if you have some issue with banking or other issue what are you going to say? You will say yeh I agreed with their rules and nothing will be done about the issue. No money back, nothing at all you be able to do and do you really trust internet users?

That was very different because people didn't know it was happening. Hell, I didn't even know it was happening. I didn't blame people for their concern then and I don't blame people for their concern now. However, it's clearly stated that this happens in our ToU now.

True.

Most players are following assist administration like sheep, not foreseeing the consequences that might be in future.

Killa, how many times do I have to explain simple fact? TOS is not above law. You can't ask people to agree on something that is not legal. And spying is not legal.

Just a question, is this time when community will take down assist and their anti cheat? I don't want to threat anyone but it is more than a tos, tos is nothing compared to spying on others, there are people here that really could be punished but hopefully everything can come to peace.
