Opcodes change every patch. (some times they don't, but that's not the usual mode)

Packet structures can also change. Packets with position data change almost every patch to make ShowEQ not work right after the patch, but they're usually pretty quick about it.

Basically, we'd need a dedicated group of people that could quickly figure out whats changed and verify everything. ShowEQ usually just does some spawn stuff and doesn't really bother with the rest anymore.

It's just a pain :P Especially when you get something working and they patch again right afterwards.
