EDIT:: Update; He has just been told that they are 100% satisfied with their evidence and that if he comes forth and admits that he was cheating his ban would be looked over for a decrease in severity, but if he still claims innocence, the ban stays...

Oh wow. Because a confession like that is totally credible. ::)

Say you're sorry or we'll punish you.

Always guaranteed to produce ingenuous behavior.

I feel his pain, I've been called a hacker so many times in games like AoS. -.-
Yeah but have you been banned for it?
This is SOE, SOE bans you once, its forever on their system, meaning anything that is released by SOE...

WTF, HOW DO YOU ADMIT A WRONGFUL ACT WITHOUT ACTUALLY KNOWING WHAT ACT YOU DID WRONG! THAT'S ENTRAPMENT!!!
I've been banned, not permabanned though.

But that is just fucking ridiculous. I'd rather they let the smart (less obvious) cheaters stay than getting false positives.

Yeah, that SOE reaction is pretty ridiculous.
Nevertheless, using 3rd party programs can get you banned. You may not call it cheating, but I do. I can't really empathise with your friend.

I am pretty damn purist when it comes to stuff like this, but unless I'm misunderstanding, the stuff below does not sound to me like cheating...

Yeah, my understanding is that any third party program can get you banned outside a couple very narrow exceptions. We've even had to get people to switch which Team Speak overlay they use because they were likely to get banned for that.
This was one of the things I was referring to, others can be that of Mouse Programs that come with said mouse and everything to do with gaming soft/hardware. Even after contacting a high ranked member of SOE, my friend has been told that the Evidence against him is valid and the ban will stand...

How can a mouse program be used to cheat, about the only thing I can think of using it for is making a button that will fire a single shot each press, giving every weapon selective semi auto fire

That's "cheating" since it takes skill to press your mouse for one fire only. :P
...
But I agree.

Actually, you could remove the recoil, by doing so that the mouse would auto correct it after each shot (which would be different for each weapon).

Those examples are something entirely different from the software that is typically packaged with a gaming mouse, though.

After some excessive grinding i got the 1000 certs needed for the AV MANA turret...

No kills with it so far with a exeption for some liberator i hit in flight (67 AA exp) who then crashed and awarded me a nice chunk of assistance exp.

I looked at that.  Not worth it to me if I can't get magnified vision on it.  You can't use it to secure infantry chokepoints, so I want to use it at long range to bombard tanks.  Too bad tanks have optics and the turret doesn't.  Only time I see them used to any particular effect is when a zerg rolls up and don't need turrets to camp vehicles and infantry.

On the plus side, there isn't excessive grinding this weekend.  Massive cert bonuses cause 'Merica.  I've farmed 1400 certs at least over the past 2 days.

Well i jst wanted my engy (the class i'm mainly using and abusing) to have some ranged firepower against vehicles.
Basicallt i have a slug shotgun for close/medium and the turret for range.

I also hate the normal turret since i feel like shooting peas (i don't thing i got even 10 kills with it) and everyone instantly turns into snipers that can snipe me through the visor 0.5 second after turning a corner.

So yeah...
