Never heard of this 'NF Fixer'.
Do I really care about it or what it does? No.
Do I think people should be banned for using it? I don't know and/or I don't care.
I'm fourth generation 'Don't give a ....'
But I figure if you're gonna whine on about something, it better be something pretty god dang worthwhile to be bawling your eyes out over; otherwise you just look like a fool.
People will do what people will do. Can we change it? No.
Regardless of what it actually is, however...
If it is a third party program, whether directly hooked into the game or simply assisting in and/or automating the actions of controls; it is not legal to use and is a breach of the Navyfield EULA.
Which I would assume would not be good for ones long term well being as a member of Navyfield. But, I may be wrong. Personally, I just take something for face value. If it's a macro that does stuff for you, it's not legal to use. Stick with that rule, and you should be safe.
