I understand this, but I would rather be prepared than assume another entity's behavior pattern.
As I see it, I have done many things with my EQlive account that WERE detectable, and I could care less. I have players from my server asking these questions of me, which I could not answer, but now I can.
Edit: I missed the last line that you posted. Jesus Christ, you mean we could've already HAD our classic EQEMu client if people had packet collected? That pisses me off.
