They can ban you for whatever they like...but for this specific program it is fine for the most part under normal use.

Literally as stated 3 accounts were responsible for damn near 6 million searches.

They were soft banned and at least one of them posted on reddit this morning with a "qq i got banned post"

Pics posted in that thread showed that the account was locked and to contact support (so NOT a propper ban) and updated to state that GGG asked him to disable the overlay to lift the ban.

And in this case under the ToS regardless of what you use.

7. Restrictions

d. Knowingly perform any actions that may cause the computers used to support the Website, Materials and Services (the “Servers”) to become overloaded or crash.

That means the sheer number of API requests are the problem, and one that people that trade have been complaining about (trade sites being slow or down)

And the solution to all that would be simple removing the public access tot he API and putting the trade interface inside the game.

I don't believe so. PoE trademacro uses poe.trade instead of pathofexile.com/trade. This can be annoying as poe.trade is not nearly as good or reliable but it also means that, even if you spammed your trademacro (don't though) it would be hitting poe.trade and not the official website.

Also the lack of understanding and clarity from GGG is mind blowing. They seem intent to alienate players and not interested in attracting new ones. A lot of simple QOL missing from this game for years with no intend to every do anything about it.

They seem only interested in creating yet more useless microtransactions. Not listening to what people who keep the lights on actually have to say.

Yet another clueless post. The 3D artists and MTX team will continue to push out MTX' no matter what the other teams are working on, be that QoL, expansions, trading or whatever.

What exactly isn't GGG "understanding"? What isn't clear?

I agree.

So normal players who just wanna check a price of an item without alt tabbing all the time can use it or should better wait on a more official response?

First off, yes they should do this.

Additionally, no it would not solve the problem -- at least for players. Players use these tools for an easy way to price items quickly. Having the interface in the game is only marginally quicker than alt-tabbing. I don't think that will scratch the itch and certainly doesn't replace the role of Trade Macro and POE Overlay.
