EVE General Discussion

I must start of by saying that CCP has no reason to snoop on what processes I have active on my box(es), it's frankly not their problem.

However, the (somewhat) heated discussion about the automatic crash reporting got me wondering.

Sending CCP an image of the EvE Client's process tree can hardly be regarded as an attack on your personal integrity.

It can only show the stuff that CCP has written plus the eventual drivers involved to make it it work.

As a matter of fact, the In Game Browser is a different process, so it's not included.

The only way (as I can understand with some experience) to get any non driver or non ccp software involved is by using some wierd software that injects itself into EvE or the relevant drivers.

Now with full respect to personal integrity, can anyone come up with a reason why a software would inject/intercept EvE or drivers that isn't something like plain mouse/keybaord sharing?

So really, dumping the EvE process tree, I see EvE, drivers and Input Director.

If it's destabilizing the game, yes they do. By installing the game and running it, you are giving them the right to look.

And as was mentioned in the blog, pretty much every program on your system already does this. So unless you're going to try and claim that you wrote your own personal web browser to make this post, you really have no argument at all.

The reporting system makes the game better. If you actually think your personal information is at risk because of it, you are a fool.
