5 This is not cheating and goes against zk design philosophy. Cheating in the sense of zk should be limited to the following applications: 5 This is not cheating and goes against zk design philosophy. Cheating in the sense of zk should be limited to the following applications:

12 A helper widget like Attrition Counter is not cheating because it does not violate these points ( not because it is a built in widget that's DISABLED BY DEFAULT) . A helper widget that tracks enemy unit counts as they enter los would not be cheating because it does not violate these points. This broad definition leads to some unfair judgement calls such as the use of colvols to become untargetable. As multiple player testimonials here demonstrate that your definition of "cheating" is flawed and would not illegitimatize the use of such a script ( in the sense that such a script gives near 0 advantage while providing major disadvantages) . Under the above guidelines, the script could be illegitimate by violating point 4. 12 A helper widget like Attrition Counter is not cheating because it does not violate these points ( not because it is a built in widget that's DISABLED BY DEFAULT) .

Under the above guidelines, the script could be illegitimate by violating point 4 while allowing for legit developers to create user-generated content freely. This I feel is the best middle ground here short of major development work for enforcement and overhead for developers.
