I have read the terms and it said something like tools which give you an unfair advantage are not allowed, at MA's discretion. This is very vague.
I am guessing automated input and manipulating game files is not allowed, but what exactly is? Is anything that does not do either of these things allowed?
I would be interested to make something like a calculator/analysis tool which shows me calculations and charts about various stats(eg trading or combat), is this allowed if I manually put in all the data myself(not using some type of script which pulls it from the game)? I have seen various fan made tools which actually use screenshot data or chat logs so I presume something where I type all the data myself is allowed? But it would give "an advantage" over players who do not have these tools. What point exactly does it become "an unfair advantage"?
I have heard of some players being banned for certain tools but I can't find out what exactly. So some real case examples of what is allowed and what is not, and some general guidelines will be helpful to me. I would like to make a tool to help but I don't want to break any rules, I don't even want to be anywhere near close to the line where I could possibly be accused of doing something wrong.
