The main point stands: why is there ZERO DOCUMENTATION of anything like GINA existing back in the day? No one mentions it in forum posts. No one is able to produce a screenshot of it. If it existed at all, it was entirely a ghost. This is basically impossible, because anything that had even remotely common use would have been discussed - there is simply no way it could have spread between players otherwise!

We are told that because log parsing existed in classic we should be ok with real-time log readers that create new UI elements overlaid on the game client. How disingenuous must you be to equate these two things?
Log parsers existing in 1999, among other things, defends the enabling of the log file. Allowing the game to be run in a window (which is likely a compatibility thing for staff - P99 will not run in full screen for me on Linux). Both of these things combined allow for programs like GINA to function in the way that is offensive to you.

This is why I never asked for it to be removed or sent a PM to a Green Text to complain. It was a good thought exercise and I will be happy being able to laugh at people using something like GINA with no social recourse to defend themselves outside of laughable claims that it could have been done.

No further steps are requested to be taken. Although if you are playing without them and someone beats you to a spawn you will have to wonder if they were running some kind of timer. That some kind of dubious program could have been used justifies it being used and just got that guy the reward. Or lets say its not about loot but about a good player, is he using timers etc to help him play, does he deserve people saying that he is l33t?
