Here, a ss from what overwolf replied
Well, yeah, they have their boilerplate. The problem is, public statements from DE and Overwolf are at odds with each other.
DE claims that they only talked with Overwolf to ensure they don't do anything that breaks the EULA. What does the EULA say?
Overwolf is clearly collecting information from the game to get your inventory, and DE did not say they gave Overwolf special permission to do it.
What might be happening here is that Overwolf started triggering their automated detection, but they don't want to ban everyone using Alecaframe (because that would be a lot of players), so that might be why they're so willing to unban you.
ahh, i see anyways, ill just go along without using alecaframe til DE actually confirms its okay and not punished
That's very frustrating. Alecaframe has made my life so much easier over the last two months. This is what the companion app should be, but you can't even be logged in to it to search your inventory. : p
Unfortunately, they will never come out and say that. Overwolf, at its core, is accessing their data. They explicitly state the following in their third party software thread:
"If you use external software in conjunction with Warframe, then you do so at your own risk. (...) This leads into why a list is not provided. If you have a piece of Macro software that is normally tolerated, but is then discovered to be the source of a future exploit, that software may get added to a ban list, and you could potentially be caught up in the automatic drag net. As stated above, there is no easy way to prove that the software used is benign."
They don't give us an official "okay-list", because every app can change functionality with an update to the point where it would be against ToS.
