Things that make you go, Hmmmm....
EULA != Law
Agreement != Law

If you violate this agreement, they can revoke the "non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Software solely in connection with playing the Game via an authorized and fully-paid Account".

Plus, technically we are not reverse engineering "The Software". We are reverse engineering the software that "The Software" talks to.
