Is Gacha Roll Tracking against the Terms of Service?

LordBlu144

A certain gacha game community of servers I moderate features a very popular external tool which allows players to discover what they will roll next in their gacha and this way they can manipulate the outcome by choosing which banners to roll on and when should they roll.
There is nothing I can find in the game's own Terms of Service that would flag this as a cheating method, at least not for the users of this tool since they do not reverse engineer the game in order to use it. As such, I am posting here to confirm whether this is allowed or not to be discussed in Discord servers.

    just to be clear, you seem to be asking:
    are we allowed to discuss cheating a game? (on discord)

    to which my answer would be, it's not harming anyone, it's not breaking any laws... go for it, get them exploits. "it's perfectly balanced" ~spiff

    however if the question is:
    are we allowed to discuss hacking a game? (on discord)

    I'd say it's a gray area, discussion should be okay, not encouragement.

    But you're asking it in a very convoluted way and you hide a fallacy in there, "the users of this tool since they do not reverse engineer the game in order to use it" did the creator of the tool not reverse engineer the game to create the tool, thus violating the game's ToS?
