actually, that's not a valid argument.  Your base assumption is that
there's a difference, visa vis 'macro mining', between cheating and
'exploiting'...it's an official violation of the EULA. why are you
debating something already decided?

Actually, i'm worried that this reference to "AIM keys" means that this
whole 'macro-ing' phenomenon is actually easier than i assumed.  Why do
i find this troubling? because i myself use a "minute timer" to audibly
ding to prompt me to drag-drop manually...now, if 'macro-ing' is just a
hop-skip-and-jump away from an eggtimer -- in CCP's eyes -- then they
could consider ANY attempt at using 3rd party programs to help one mine
to be EULA violations.

CCP is like every other MMOG developer:  they've succumbed to the
temptation to be social engineers (mad scientists playing with sticks
and carrots) ... and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why i stopped
playing eve-online.
