I play KC via the good old "osapi method" (as in log in via VPN, go to source code, turn off VPN, and click the looooong http address that starts with "osapi.dmm.com")

I appreciate the hard work of the creators of these tools, but I can play KC in the good old way just fine, why bother?

Also I've heard about these tools causing ppl to lose their ships in events. The suspected reason behind these unfortunate tragedies is that since these tools will apparently update significantly later than the game itself, it fails to follow up all the new features introduced in events in real time. In some cases, this means the tool may fail to warn the player of a taiha'd ship, causing a ship loss.

Well it's just a rumor, and a player should double-check the game screen before advancing, with or without tools, so this doubt is not the reason why I chose not to use tools. However, the theory did persuade me that I should not rely too much on them.
