I'm looking at purchasing the game, however, I'm afraid of dropping money on this thing when it seems like sneezing in the general direction of it is going to [i]get my account banned[/i].
And what's with the methodology here, anyways? Banning people [i]automatically[/i] is hardly the way to go when your criteria is as loose as [i]any[/i] sort of code injection, innocuous or "otherwise".. It's understandable that you want your game to be as secure as possible and anyone would, but, this is like glassing a planet because it has bees on it and you hate bees.
There are tons of sane and legitimate programs that use external libraries to improve the user's experience. It may have seemed like a good idea to use such a harsh approach to something you're unfamiliar with but the way you guys are arrogantly handling (ignoring) this issue comes across as incompetence, not justice. You're kicking yourselves out of the PC market before you've even got a foot in the door.
I sincerely hope this gets fixed (or at least [i]addressed[/i]) because myself and my friends were interested since the beta. We're not going to spend 60 dollars (and especially not 100 dollars for the deluxe edition) until we can feel confident that running notepad in the background isn't going to lock our money behind an account ban. This thread is kind of a rant but I'm throwing this out there hoping for a discussion because this is kind of absurd to watch happen in real time.

They already talked about this, if you get banned you deserve it.
