==Scripts and Extensions==

;Scripts and extensions are allowed to a certain extent, any form of automation of game mechanics is disallowed, unless they are built in.

;Things which are not allowed:Any form of usage, distribution or development of extensions which communicate with the game server, are '''not''' allowed and will result in a ban.
:Only allowed way to communicate with the server and send requests, is by the game's own UI. Things which are '''not''' allowed for example:
:*Having a relisting button in marketplace. This directly communicates with server by sending first a unlist request, and then a market listing post request.
:*Fetching prices of market items. This would send requests to server to fetch the prices for individual items.
:*Adding a hotkey to augmenting.
;Things which would be allowed
:*Having additional metrics, exp/hm, etc., in resource nodes.
:*UI changes and new UI element, as long as they don't SEND requests to server.
:*Show in UI what buffs from equipment you have active.
