When you install a game you agree to a license and if that license says you are not allowed to extract stuff from compress files then you violate that agreement when you do extract files. There is no need to extact anything when making your back up..just back up the whole CD.
Show me where in the licence it says that players can not extract files.

ok, simple, the break-down as far as our csrs communicated is: you are free to edit them as you can't even exploit with them(the run-speed hack was, well, broken *g*)
the catch: if you break something you'll have to fix it on your own and no csr will be liable to help you

Now there ya go simple enough.
Back to the hotdogs. Now if you extract hot dogs from the secret kami burgers and dogs is it breaking the licence agreement or are you aloud to eat them.

The fix, should you "break" your client Cfg file is to use the "default" CFG to edit it. The default CFG works, if you break it, you just find what is different change it, save it and there you go...Fixed!
Plus, just an FYI, everytime you open the game configuration in game, guess what is changed...YEP...your client CFG file. SO...if you can't change that...why did they put a feature in the game that does Presisely that...change the CFG file???

Thanks for the screenies Raynes

Have to admit I'm quite disappointed with the 'no cogs or machinery' thing

That certainly means they've changed the model of the hut since Open Beta. I hope it doesn't mean they've changed the surprise...

Editing your config files to use these for your own benefit, well that sounds more or less like hacking to me. And as far as I know, that's against the license agreement.
Well, I guess using a huge zoom factor may allow you to see further than you should. However, there's a big difference between seeing and doing, as I'm sure you appreciate. Raynes used it to get screenies (as did I at a recent event), and I basically like to be twice (pretty much) as far from my player as is allowed normally. It doesn't give me advantages from seeing more mobs on my screen - my radar already shows me mobs upto 250M away, and my zoomed camera doesn't show me any more than that
And Lyrah's comments certainly apply - if they didn't intend for zoom settings to be over-tweaked, they would be in an encrypted file rather than an ini-style text file. That which is tweakable, is tweaked - human nature

If your allowed access then its allowed. If it is somthing they dont want you doing then they change things.
For instance the zoom. You can add the line 0 to 10000000000 meters to zoom out. However, at one time you could add a line to change your speed. Now you cannot.
It seem pretty simple to stop you from useing zoom. If x then y.
Now, If the Kami rib joint is open then they must have hot wings.
