Thanks for keeping this alive!
P.S just read some "banning" happened on poe or should i say "locked" accounts ? because of the overlay tool?
I think thats bogus. I have been using overlay for ..damn 4 years now? I simply cannot live without HP on enemies. I just cant. Im too old and old fashioned to change now..So i use default overlay ,turn of flask and stuff. I dont use those. dont need it at all. Preload alert and hp on mobs is all and no issues.

Here is my guess. POE overlay automatically search whenever you modify a specification. So whenever you change the range of an affix or selet them, the app calls server for data. This may end up in multiple calls each search.
those locked accounts probably used some "special" plugins that do api calls gazilion times? maybe? dunno. I dont need it. Game is fun and these 2 features should be implemented in poe as game default anyway

I just checked with Chris, and he says the policy is the same as it has been for the last eight or so years: You may not run programs that interact with the Path of Exile game client. It's okay to run things that are entirely external to the game (i.e. they would work if run on a second computer because they don't need the game open, for example ones that read the client log files).
Edit: I asked one of our team members about this and the account locks related to the Overlay recently have been due to it "hammering the ever-living shit out of our website".
Or maybe its some other "tool" ?
